Naturally aspirated engines generally use mineral oil. Engine oils on the market are divided into mineral oil, full synthetic oil, and semi-synthetic oil. The details are as follows: Mineral oil: The cheapest option, usually replaced every six months or 5,000 kilometers. This oil is refined from crude oil with additives mixed in. It offers the least protection and lubrication for the engine and has the poorest durability. Full synthetic oil: The most expensive option, with a replacement cycle of one year or 10,000 kilometers. This oil refers to high-quality products made from PAO (polyalphaolefin) or artificially synthesized esters. Nowadays, many companies also classify oils blended from Group IV and V base oils without mineral oil additives as full synthetic oil. Full synthetic oil provides the best engine protection, lubrication, and longevity. Semi-synthetic oil: Priced between the two, its performance and longevity are also intermediate. It is typically replaced every 7,500 kilometers. This oil is essentially a 4:6 blend of mineral oil and full synthetic oil.

How to Connect a Five-Pin Relay?

Five-pin relays have two coil pins, one common terminal for contacts, one normally open contact, and one normally closed contact. The coil is connected to the control voltage; when energized, the relay activates, causing the normally open contact to close and the normally closed contact to open. Below is relevant information about five-pin relays: 1. The coil has a certain resistance. The normally closed contact remains connected to the common terminal when not energized, while the normally open contact remains disconnected. Whether used individually or in combination, the five pins can be divided into A, B, 1, 2, and 3, where A and B are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the control power supply, and 1, 2, and 3 are the controlled terminals. When A and B are not energized, 1 and 2 are connected; when A and B are energized, 1 and 2 separate, and then 1 and 3 connect. 2. Automotive relays consist of a magnetic circuit system, contact system, and reset mechanism. The magnetic circuit system includes components such as the iron core, yoke, armature, and coil. The contact system consists of static reeds, moving reeds, and contact bases. The reset mechanism is composed of reset reeds or tension springs. 3. When a certain voltage or current is applied to both ends of the relay coil, the magnetic flux generated by the coil passes through the magnetic circuit formed by the iron core, yoke, armature, and working air gap. Under the influence of the magnetic field, the armature is attracted to the pole face of the iron core, thereby pushing the normally closed contact to open and the normally open contact to close. When the voltage or current at both ends of the coil falls below a certain threshold, and the mechanical resistance exceeds the electromagnetic force, the armature returns to its initial state, causing the normally open contact to open and the normally closed contact to close.

What does 'services' mean in a car?

In a car, 'services' indicates that the vehicle requires maintenance. When the car has traveled a certain distance, a 'service' indicator or a small wrench symbol will appear on the dashboard to remind the user that the car needs inspection or replacement of some worn parts. Below is relevant information about car maintenance: 1. Generally, car manufacturers specify maintenance intervals, typically at 5,000, 7,500, or 10,000 kilometers. It is usually reasonable to follow the maintenance schedule outlined in the owner's manual. Therefore, simply perform each maintenance item as specified in the manual. 2. Whether you get maintenance done outside or at a 4S shop, there isn't much difference—it mainly comes down to cost. So, you can choose based on your own situation. 3. Modern car dashboards feature various warning or indicator lights beneath the panel, such as coolant level warning lights, fuel level indicators, washer fluid level indicators, charging indicators, high/low beam indicators, transmission gear indicators, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) indicators, traction control indicators, and SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) warning lights.

Is Car Rain Repellent Useful?

Car rain repellent is very useful for driving in rainy weather. It utilizes the hydrophobic principle of nanomaterials to prevent rainwater from forming a film on the car's glass surface, thereby improving the efficiency of windshield wipers and significantly enhancing driving safety during heavy rain. Below is relevant information about car rain repellent: 1. Car glass rain repellent forms a nano/micron protective layer on the glass surface; this protective layer has a hydrophobic (repellent) effect. As a result, when rainwater falls on the glass surface, it automatically contracts into droplets and slides off the glass. 2. Although high-end car glass comes with a rain-repellent coating from the factory, it quickly wears off or disappears due to the constant friction of windshield wipers. This is why rainwater tends to stick to the glass during rainy days. 3. Car glass rain repellent primarily alters the surface properties of the car glass—changing it from hydrophilic to hydrophobic—thus achieving the purpose of rain repellency. The advantage of this rain-repellent mechanism is its long-lasting effect, as the protective layer is not washed away by rainwater.
