If you run out of gas on the highway, you can call for assistance. Response methods: Ensure safety first, remember not to brake suddenly to avoid excessively low speed. Maintain normal driving speed on the highway, as internal combustion engines are actually more fuel-efficient at higher speeds than at low speeds. Turn off energy-consuming electronic devices such as air conditioning and radio, as these devices indirectly require engine power. When unable to proceed: Immediately activate hazard warning lights and move the vehicle to a safe area. Place a triangular warning sign at least 150 meters behind the vehicle, then move to a safe location yourself. Call to explain the situation and wait for assistance. You can contact nearby PetroChina gas stations for help with fuel delivery. Alternatively, call PetroChina's customer service hotline at 95504 for assistance.

How Many Liters of Engine Oil Does the Patrol 4.0 Require?

The Nissan Patrol with a 4.0L engine typically requires approximately 5 liters of engine oil during an oil change. Below are some methods to save fuel consumption: 1. Regularly Check the Tire System Insufficient tire pressure increases friction between the tires and the road, leading to higher fuel consumption. Therefore, it's essential to frequently check tire pressure, as different vehicle models and tires have varying pressure standards. Additionally, severely worn tires may cause slippage, increasing fuel usage, so replace them when necessary. 2. Regularly Inspect the Braking System Some vehicles may experience slight brake drag, which increases the car's load while driving and raises fuel consumption. Regular inspections are recommended. 3. Perform Regular Maintenance and Replace Parts Components such as the air filter, fuel filter, and oil filter need replacement every 5,000 kilometers or more. A clogged air filter reduces airflow, leading to incomplete fuel combustion and decreased fuel efficiency.
