The original engine oil model for the Volkswagen Lamando is fully synthetic or semi-synthetic oil 5W40. Selection of engine oil brands: For the selection of engine oil brands, if you prioritize the long-lasting performance of the oil, you can choose Mobil lubricants; if you need engine oil with strong cleaning capabilities, Shell engine oil is recommended; for engine oil with strong oil film toughness, Castrol is advocated. For turbocharged engines, which are prone to carbon deposits during high-speed operation, Shell fully synthetic oil with strong cleaning performance can be selected. Composition of engine oil: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties. Additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance, granting it certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.

Does Mixing Engine Oils Affect the Engine?

Yes, it can have an impact. Different types of oils contain different chemical substances, and mixing them may lead to accidents, posing significant safety hazards. It is advisable to avoid mixing oils whenever possible, as it becomes difficult to accurately assess the quality of the oil blend. If mixing is necessary under special circumstances, certain mixing principles can be followed. Some of the functions of engine oil are as follows: 1. Cleaning Effect: The cleaning effect refers to removing residues such as carbon and oil produced during combustion, or dissolving these residues in the oil. Through the oil circulation, impurities are carried to the engine oil filter. Engine oil cleans the engine and removes impurities, protecting metal surfaces from acid corrosion formed during combustion. 2. Cooling Effect: The cooling effect refers to cooling the engine. Engine oil assists the cooling system (such as water, radiator, water pump, cooling circulation system, and airflow passing through the engine and oil pan) in dissipating the heat generated by the pistons. When cooling the pistons, gasoline is sprayed from the opposite side. Therefore, engine oil must have excellent cooling properties and be able to withstand high temperatures.

Which type of engine oil is suitable for the Haval F7?

The Haval F7 is equipped with two types of engines, namely the GW4B15 and GW4C20NT, which require the use of fully synthetic engine oil. The following recommendations apply to the selection of engine oil: 1. If you choose engine oil that meets the ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers' Association) standards, the recommendation is: If the temperature in your region is above -30°C, use A3/B4 5W-40 oil. If the temperature in your region is lower, use A3/B4 0W-40 oil. 2. If you choose engine oil that meets the ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers' Association) standards, the recommendation is: If the temperature in your region is above -30°C, use C1/C2 5W-30 fully synthetic oil. If the temperature in your region is lower, use C1/C2 0W-30 fully synthetic oil. Like gasoline, a higher grade does not necessarily mean better performance. There is no 'best' engine oil, only the most suitable one.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Haima S7?

The actual fuel consumption of the Haima S7 is: 7.5 to 8.8L/100km. Since 2012, Haima Motors has adopted a new naming convention for its models, with sedans starting with "M" and SUVs starting with "S". Methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Correctly adjust tire inflation pressure: Proper tire pressure can reduce rolling resistance and lower fuel consumption. Additionally, a tire pressure slightly higher than the recommended value (+0.2bar) can also save fuel. 2. Use in-car auxiliary electrical equipment moderately: Using certain electrical devices can significantly increase fuel consumption, such as the air conditioning system's cooling function. If the heating purpose has been achieved, the seat heater should be turned off promptly. The windshield heater should also be turned off when there is no fog or ice on the rear window. 3. Use gears correctly: Match the gear to the appropriate speed; avoid high-speed low-gear or low-speed high-gear driving. Shift gears in advance, ensuring the speed corresponds to the gear appropriately, and avoid driving at high speeds in low gears or low speeds in high gears.

What is the fuel consumption of the BYD Tang DMI cruising at 120 km/h on the highway?

The fuel consumption of the BYD Tang DMI cruising at 120 km/h on the highway is 4.0 liters per 100 kilometers. More details about fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Introduction: Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when a car is driving at a constant speed on a good road surface. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. For example, France and Germany use the constant-speed fuel consumption at 90 km/h and 120 km/h as the main evaluation indicators for fuel economy. China also adopts this indicator. 2. Road cycle fuel consumption: Road cycle fuel consumption is a fuel economy indicator measured when a car drives repeatedly on the road according to specified speed and time regulations, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. In the speed and time regulations, each cycle includes various driving conditions, and specifies the shifting time, braking and stopping time, as well as the values of driving speed, acceleration, and braking deceleration for each cycle.
