Automatic transmission cars should have an idle speed of 800 to 900 revolutions per minute. The idle state refers to a working condition when the engine is running without load. When the engine is running and the accelerator pedal is completely released, the engine is in an idle state. When adjusting the idle speed, the RPM should not suddenly increase or decrease, as this can cause premature wear to the engine. It is best to have the idle speed adjusted at an automotive repair facility. The idle speed of a car may vary slightly depending on the engine type and model. When starting a cold engine, the idle speed will be higher. This is because engine wear is more severe when operating at low temperatures. When the engine control unit detects a low engine temperature, it increases the idle speed to help the engine reach its optimal operating temperature more quickly and adjust to normal working conditions, thereby minimizing wear.

What is the best engine oil for a Sylphy?

For the new Sylphy, the original factory engine oil is the most suitable. Below is relevant information about the Nissan Sylphy: 1. In addition to using the original factory engine oil, it is recommended to choose engine oil brands such as Mobil, Shell, and Great Wall. 2. During maintenance, the 4S shop offers three types of engine oil for the Nissan Sylphy: conventional oil, synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. The choice among these three mainly depends on the vehicle's driving environment. If the driving environment is good, such as frequent highway driving, conventional oil is sufficient. If the vehicle is often used in city driving with frequent stops and starts, synthetic oil is recommended. 3. It is necessary to distinguish between winter and summer engine oil choices. Winter oil grades are: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W. The symbol W stands for Winter, and the smaller the number before W, the lower the viscosity at low temperatures, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the applicable minimum temperature. Most owners use 5W-30.

What Changes Occur in Headlight Illumination When Encountering Curves During Night Driving?

When encountering curves ahead during night driving, the following changes occur in headlight illumination: the light beam shifts from the center of the road to the roadside. Here are some important considerations for night driving: 1. Avoid speeding: The probability of traffic accidents significantly increases during high-speed night driving. 2. Prevent tailgating: Drivers have narrower visibility at night compared to daytime and often encounter dangerous or emergency situations. 3. Proper use of headlights: Correct headlight usage is essential for night driving. Drivers can observe road conditions by utilizing the silhouette effect created by opposing vehicles' headlights on road surfaces and objects.

What is the normal mileage for a new car?

30-50 kilometers is within the normal range for a new car. Here are some extended tips for checking how much a car has actually been driven: 1. Check the manufacturing date: You can determine the manufacturing date. If you encounter a car that has been in use for a long time but has an unusually low mileage, there might be an issue with the car. 2. Check the wear and tear: (1) Examine the tire wear. New tires have wire-like marks on the tread and hair-like fibers on the sidewalls, which usually wear off after 50-100 kilometers. (2) Check the brake pad wear. Generally, new cars or those driven very short distances show minimal wear. Significant wear indicates more usage, even if the odometer shows a low number.
