Turbocharged engines use either full synthetic oil or semi-synthetic oil. Below is some relevant information about turbocharged engines: 1. Working principle: A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that increases the intake air volume by compressing air. The increased air pressure and density allow for the combustion of more fuel, which in turn increases the fuel quantity and adjusts the engine speed, thereby enhancing the engine's output power. 2. Components: The turbocharging system mainly consists of a turbine housing and a supercharger. First, the intake port of the turbine housing is connected to the engine's exhaust manifold, while the exhaust port is connected to the exhaust pipe. Then, the intake port of the supercharger is connected to the air filter pipeline, and the exhaust port is connected to the intake manifold. Finally, the turbine and impeller are installed in the turbine housing and supercharger respectively, and they are rigidly connected on the same shaft.

How Often Should You Add Water to the Car Radiator?

Water should be added to the car radiator every two years or every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers driven. The water referred to here is coolant, not tap water. If the coolant level in the reservoir drops below the minimum mark (the normal level should be between MIN and MAX), it should be replenished promptly. When purchasing coolant, choose the appropriate type based on the climate of the vehicle's location. Coolant prevents the freezing of the cooling liquid during cold winter parking, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine block or cylinder head. It should be used year-round. Additionally, coolant helps protect engine performance, extend service life, and offers anti-freeze, anti-boil, and anti-scale functions. Especially when outdoor temperatures drop below zero, it ensures that vehicle components do not malfunction due to cold conditions.

What is the Difference Between Curb Weight and Gross Vehicle Weight?

The difference between curb weight and gross vehicle weight is: 1. Different meanings: Curb weight refers to the weight of a vehicle when it is fully equipped according to factory specifications (including items like spare tires and tools) and all fluids are filled; gross vehicle weight is the weight of the vehicle when fully equipped and loaded with passengers (including the driver) and cargo as specified. 2. Different scopes: Curb weight is the weight of an empty vehicle; gross vehicle weight is the curb weight plus the weight of the driver, passengers, and luggage. The curb weight of a vehicle is an important design indicator, which must be both advanced and feasible, closely related to the vehicle's design level, manufacturing quality, and industrialization standards. Under the same model conditions, vehicles with optimized design methods, superior production levels, and higher industrialization standards tend to have a reduced curb weight.

What are the reasons for the engine oil light to illuminate?

The reasons for the engine oil light to illuminate include: 1. Insufficient engine oil level, which reduces the oil pump's output or prevents it from pumping oil due to air intake, leading to a drop in oil pressure; 2. Overheating of the engine, which can thin the oil, causing it to leak excessively through the gaps and resulting in decreased oil pressure; 3. Damage to the oil pump components or excessive gaps due to wear and tear or improper assembly, leading to insufficient or no oil output; 4. Improper clearance between the crankshaft and the bearings—too tight can increase oil pressure, while too loose can decrease it; 5. Clogged oil filter or oil suction screen, which can reduce oil pressure. If the engine oil warning light comes on while driving, find a safe place to stop and check. If the vehicle is running normally, you can continue driving to the nearest 4S shop for inspection, but remember to slow down and drive carefully.

How many days can it take to check the traffic violation information after running a red light?

After running a red light, the illegal photo notification SMS is usually received within 3 to 7 days, and at the latest, around 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture notifications," where you can receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But the notification does not equate to a violation; it serves only as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it is a violation takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive the violation SMS immediately. There is a time delay, and the duration may vary. After the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center, where it is compiled and then verified by the relevant staff of the traffic police department. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via SMS to the owner. After receiving the violation SMS, the vehicle owner must settle the violation within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received beyond 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Methods for traffic violation inquiries: Traffic violation inquiries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management through online platforms or query terminals. Methods for vehicle violation inquiries include website queries, phone inquiries, SMS inquiries, mobile app inquiries, and offline terminal inquiries. Website inquiry: You can search for vehicle violation inquiries and enter vehicle information to check. Phone inquiry: To inquire about violations, you can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for confirmation. Violations can only be processed at the location of the violation or the vehicle's license plate issuance location. For on-site violations, such as those caught directly by a traffic officer, they must be processed at the location of the violation. SMS inquiry: Open the SMS interface on your phone; enter WZ followed by the license plate number and color; send it to 1062650001. Mobile app inquiry: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, select violation inquiry, and clear any unresolved violations. Offline terminal inquiry: Visit the local traffic management hall and use the self-service query machine to enter the license plate number and check recent violation records.
