For a new car with 30,000 kilometers, the following maintenance is required: 1. Engine oil and four filters: The four filters include the engine oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, and cabin air filter. The engine oil filter needs to be replaced every maintenance, the air filter should be replaced every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers, and the fuel filter is recommended to be replaced every 30,000 kilometers. 2. Throttle body cleaning: Over time, the throttle body accumulates carbon deposits at the throttle valve, leading to reduced airflow. This can cause slight idle instability, idle vibration, and weak acceleration, indirectly increasing fuel consumption. 3. Spark plugs: Although spark plugs at 30,000 kilometers have not completely lost their ignition performance, their efficiency has significantly decreased. Reduced ignition performance directly affects idle vibration, engine misfire, and weak acceleration. The increased engine load due to poor ignition is also a factor in higher fuel consumption. 4. Air conditioning cleaning: Cleaning the air conditioning system removes dust, dirt, and provides a sterilizing effect. This service is optional.

What Causes the Throttle of a Single-Cylinder Diesel Engine to Fluctuate?

It is mainly related to the fuel injection volume from the injector, the atomization effect of the fuel, and the mixing ratio with air. A common issue is severe contamination of the injector, which can clog it and lead to poor or uneven fuel injection. This results in inconsistent fuel delivery, causing the throttle to fluctuate. Additional Information: 1. Composition of a Diesel Engine: The internal system of a diesel engine consists of power transmission components, the engine block and main bearings, valves, the fuel system and governor, lubrication system, cooling system, and the starting system of the internal combustion engine. 2. Diesel Engine Fuel: The primary fuel for diesel engines is diesel. Typically, high-speed diesel engines use light diesel, while medium- and low-speed diesel engines may use either light or heavy diesel. Diesel engines employ an injection pump and injector to spray fuel into the cylinder under high pressure. The injected fuel atomizes and mixes with air for combustion. As a result, diesel engines can use heavier or lower-quality fuels with poor volatility, such as crude oil and residual oil.

What is spow20 engine oil?

spow20 engine oil belongs to the highest grade of engine oil, and many Japanese cars use this type of oil. 'sp' represents the quality grade of the engine oil, with sg, sj, sl, sm, and sp being the grades for gasoline engine oils, where sp is the highest grade. 'ow20' indicates the SAE standard viscosity value of the oil. Additional information: Functions of engine oil: 1. Lubrication: There is rapid relative sliding between pistons and cylinders, as well as between main shafts and bearing bushes. To prevent excessive wear of parts, an oil film needs to be established between the two sliding surfaces. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of the relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear. 2. Auxiliary cooling: Engine oil has a relatively low specific heat value and is located inside the engine, so it does not inherently have a cooling effect. However, during engine operation, the oil can carry heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air, assisting the radiator in cooling the engine. The actual cooling is performed by the water (or antifreeze liquid) outside the engine casing. 3. Cleaning: High-quality engine oil can carry carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank through circulation. The flow of the lubricating oil washes away dirt generated on the working surfaces of the parts.

How to Deal with Excessive Car Voltage?

If the car voltage is too high, the solution is to repair the generator. Excessive voltage can damage the battery, easily harm the electronic control unit, and cause bulbs to burn out, leading to system-wide chaos. Therefore, the generator should be repaired as soon as possible. Additional Information: 1. Generator Working Principle: The generator operates based on electromagnetic induction, where the output voltage varies with the rate of change in the coil's magnetic field strength. In the generator, the rate of change in the magnetic field is regulated by the generator's rotation speed and the magnitude of the magnetic current, meaning the output voltage is determined by the generator's excitation current. 2. Generator Voltage: The generator voltage changes with the vehicle speed. When the speed is higher than the battery voltage, it can exceed the battery voltage by up to 30%. When the speed is lower than the battery voltage, it may drop to zero. 3. Voltage Regulator: Every car is equipped with a voltage regulator, which reduces the generator's high voltage to a suitable range for the car's use. When charging the battery, if the generator's voltage is too low, the regulator automatically draws current from the battery, ensuring the car always has a stable voltage supply.

What Brand is ALPINA?

ALPINA is an independent brand based in Bavaria, Germany, specializing in modifying BMW cars. ALPINA is often regarded as a BMW tuner, but in reality, there is no subsidiary relationship between ALPINA and BMW, similar to the relationship between Brabus and Mercedes-Benz, where Brabus is also a manufacturer dedicated to modifying Mercedes vehicles. Vehicles produced by ALPINA only bear the ALPINA logo, with no BMW branding visible. ALPINA is also considered one of the smallest car manufacturers in Germany. ALPINA was founded in 1965 by German Burkard Bovensiepen (1936). The company was initially named Burkard Bovensiepen-KG and was located in Kaufbeuren, Bavaria, in southern Germany. Originally, the company's business was manufacturing typewriters. However, after Buckard successfully invested in stocks a few years later, he independently established a business for modifying and tuning BMW models, initially specializing in carburetor tuning and cylinder head improvements. ALPINA's production process is integrated into BMW's production line. For example, the ALPINA B7 is produced alongside the standard BMW 7 Series at BMW's production line in Dingolfing, Germany. Its 4.4-liter V8 engine is hand-assembled at ALPINA's headquarters in Buchloe before being transported to BMW's production line for installation. The completed ALPINA vehicles are then sent back to ALPINA headquarters for final refinements. Although ALPINA models are all based on BMW products, since the late 1970s when ALPINA became a TUV-certified car manufacturer, its models have been registered as ALPINA-produced rather than BMW. Nevertheless, people can purchase ALPINA models through many BMW dealerships and also receive maintenance services at these dealerships. Although ALPINA is an independent brand, the BMW models it modifies exhibit superior performance and configurations. ALPINA can modify almost all BMW products, such as the 3 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, 6 Series, and Z4. ALPINA originates from BMW but surpasses it. The collaboration between ALPINA and BMW began in car racing. By providing engine components, ALPINA significantly enhanced the performance of BMW race cars, transforming from a parts supplier to a research and development institution for BMW racing cars. Technically: In terms of chassis and suspension tuning, ALPINA has upgraded the power and significantly improved safety. It employs modified turbocharging and braking systems, and ALPINA also enhances the exterior and interior of the cars to make them more sporty.

Which manufacturer produces Westlake tires?

Westlake tires are a brand under the Zhongce Rubber Group Co., Ltd. The Westlake tire product line has covered passenger car tires, truck and bus tires, as well as agricultural tires, with each series offering a variety of performance tires to meet consumers' personalized needs. Maintenance methods for Westlake tires: 1. Develop good driving habits: If the owner frequently accelerates too hard, makes sudden turns, brakes abruptly, or parks by driving over curbs, these habits can cause severe tire wear. Therefore, the most direct and effective way to maintain tires is to develop good driving habits. 2. Ensure proper inflation pressure: In winter, due to low temperatures, the principle of thermal expansion and contraction means that tire pressure may be insufficient. Therefore, it is advisable to slightly increase the tire inflation pressure in winter to reduce wear. In cold winters, it is recommended to use an inflation pressure 10%-15% higher than the standard, but it should not exceed the maximum inflation pressure specified in the product manual. 3. Avoid excessive tire pressure: In summer, tire pressure tends to be higher, and many owners pay attention to tire pressure to prevent blowouts. However, it is important to note that tire pressure changes with temperature, so it is best to measure tire pressure at room temperature.
