1.5t engines use 5w30 grade oil. The Shell Helix Ultra series is suitable for most luxury cars, turbocharged models, and high-performance sports cars. Among them, Shell Helix UltraR focuses on sports performance, and some high-performance sports cars or models that emphasize sports performance can try this lubricant. Shell Helix UltraE emphasizes economy and environmental protection. Mobil focuses on power and long-lasting performance, Shell focuses on engine cleanliness and quietness, and Castrol focuses on engine protection. During maintenance, if fully synthetic oil is used, consider servicing every 10,000 kilometers; if semi-synthetic oil is used, consider changing the oil every 7,500 kilometers; if mineral oil is used, change the oil every 5,000 kilometers. Lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion prevention, shock absorption. The engine converts the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning the expanding gas in a sealed cylinder to push the piston to do work.

What is ETC for highway tolls?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, also known as the non-stop toll collection system. Highways are equipped with one or more ETC lanes. The ETC toll collection method: Through dedicated microwave short-range communication between the vehicle's RFID tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses network technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge and road toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a post-payment system. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driver's license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Fill out a postal credit card application form, which will be used to bind the ETC card. After receiving the credit card, swipe it twice and present the POS receipt to a designated postal outlet to receive and install the ETC onboard device for free, with no additional charges. Be between 18 and 60 years old. Own a vehicle under your name. Here are the precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror. Many car models have a large rearward angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If ETC installation does not consider this, it may increase blind spots for the driver. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or where the solar panel might be blocked. Do not remove it once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. Once installed, the windshield will press the anti-tamper lever in. If removed, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the car in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic payment for the car ahead. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and cause payment failure. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance may also lead to payment failure.
