1.5L naturally aspirated engines should use 0W30 oil. For Japanese cars, you can choose oil with lower viscosity; for German cars, it's better to select oil with relatively higher viscosity. For turbocharged models, it's advisable to opt for fully synthetic oil that can mitigate low-speed pre-ignition issues. Since turbocharged engines generally operate at higher temperatures, choosing high-temperature-resistant oil would be preferable. Engine oils can be categorized into three types: mineral oil, semi-synthetic, and fully synthetic. When selecting oil, if the budget allows, fully synthetic oil should be the first choice. Fully synthetic oil represents a superior formulation among engine oils, offering significantly better performance in terms of high-temperature fluidity and viscosity compared to semi-synthetic oils.

Why does the engine make a gurgling sound like boiling water?

This phenomenon in the engine is related to the coolant. It may be caused by insufficient coolant or the use of low-quality coolant. This situation is more likely to occur in summer and is commonly referred to as "boiling over," which can affect the vehicle's performance and service life. When this happens, you can turn on the car's heater and set the temperature to the highest level for a few minutes before turning it off. Specific details are as follows: 1. Antifreeze: Antifreeze is produced by different manufacturers, and the freezing and boiling points vary by brand. Please consult the seller for specific information. Currently, the boiling point of antifreeze is generally above 105°C. If high-quality antifreeze is used, the "boiling over" phenomenon will not occur. 2. Freezing point of antifreeze: The freezing points of different antifreeze products vary, depending on the region and environmental temperature. Nowadays, the freezing point of antifreeze generally ranges between -15°C and -68°C.

Can the 4S store reissue the lost car purchase invoice?

You can go to the 4S store to reissue the lost car purchase invoice. Reissue location: You need to go to the 4S store where the motor vehicle was purchased to reissue it. After purchasing a motor vehicle, the car purchase invoice, motor vehicle certificate of conformity, and motor vehicle registration certificate should be properly kept to avoid loss during future use. Notes: When purchasing a motor vehicle, the invoice can be issued directly. After the invoice is issued, it needs to be properly kept because the invoice is required for motor vehicle registration. Without the invoice, the motor vehicle cannot complete the normal registration procedures. This is an important point to note as it may affect the later use of the vehicle.

Does an occasional emergency brake affect a new car?

An occasional emergency brake is not a big problem for a new car. Frequent braking can easily damage car components and affect the car's service life. Here is a detailed introduction about car brakes: 1. Brake: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of running locomotives, vehicles, and other transportation tools or machinery. The braking device is a mechanical braking device that can slow down the speed, also known as a decelerator. 2. Braking system: The braking system consists of a control system, a hydraulic system, and a power assist system. The control system includes pedals, handbrakes, etc. The hydraulic system consists of hydraulic oil, a brake pump, and hydraulic oil pipes. The power assist system is the vacuum booster pump. The electronic control system consists of an ABS pump, ABS sensors, and an ABS computer. The execution system consists of brake calipers, brake pads, and brake discs.

What is the wading depth of a minivan?

The wading depth of a minivan is 30-60 centimeters. Here is some additional information: 1. Vehicle wading depth standards: Different vehicle models have different wading depth standards. The wading depth for sedans is 20-30 centimeters, for SUVs it is 30-60 centimeters, and for hardcore off-road vehicles it can reach 70-100 centimeters. Generally, as long as the water level does not exceed the height of the engine intake, there should not be significant issues. Even if the water level submerges the exhaust pipe, the strong exhaust pressure can blow the water out of the pipe. When wading, it is advisable to maintain a low gear to prevent the vehicle from stalling. 2. Problems after vehicle wading: Deformation and damage to the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism. When a mixture of water and air enters the engine through the intake, since gases are compressible but liquids are not, the connecting rod can deform under the influence of water. If the driver attempts to start the car at this point, the significant reaction force can cause the bent connecting rod to rub against the cylinder block, resulting in irreversible damage to the cylinder block.

What Are the Conditions and Procedures for Scrapping a Private Car?

Private car scrapping regulations stipulate that 5-seat family cars and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, have no usage lifespan limit. When the normal driving mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping process. The private car scrapping procedure is as follows: First, the car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and affix their seal. Then wait for the registration acceptance counter to issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age limit. For vehicles that haven't reached the scrapping age limit, after inspection and confirmation by the vehicle inspection counter that they meet scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. Next, the owner should choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The requirements are: the engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. Finally, the owner should submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. After recovering license plates and certificates, and completing the approval process according to regulations, the private car scrapping registration can be completed. The condition for private car scrapping is that registered vehicles which fail to obtain the mandatory inspection certification mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after their valid inspection period expires will be forcibly scrapped.
