sn-level 5w30 viscosity grade full synthetic engine oil is the type used in the Changan Raeton CC. If you want to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose brands such as Mobil or Castrol. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand low temperatures of -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, ensuring smoother cold starts for the car in low temperatures. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the number, the better the oil maintains its viscosity index at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the Changan Raeton CC is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply some oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, fill about three-quarters of a standard oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for any oil leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are leaks, perform necessary repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.

The car I drive is the Changan Raeton CC, and I've been using 5W-30 synthetic oil for almost three years now, as clearly recommended in the manual. At first, I didn't understand much about engine oil and thought any type would do, but I noticed a slight increase in fuel consumption. Later, after carefully reading the manual, I realized that the Raeton CC's engine requires this specific viscosity because it ensures smooth cold starts, preventing freezing in winter, and provides excellent protection at high temperatures, so I don't have to worry about overheating during summer highway drives. I use a reputable brand of semi-synthetic oil, changing it every 7,500 kilometers, and I regularly check the dipstick to ensure the oil level is normal. Choosing the right oil is crucial—otherwise, engine wear accelerates, leading to costly and troublesome repairs. Remember, the manual is the best guide; don't rely on guesswork or past experiences.

Having worked in car repairs for many years, I've encountered quite a few Changan Raeton CC owners who often ask about the right engine oil to use. The standard is clearly stated in the manual: 5W-30 synthetic oil. The 5W indicates good low-temperature fluidity, ensuring smooth starts in cold weather, while the 30 means moderate viscosity at high temperatures, protecting the engine from oil burning. I've repaired some cars that used the wrong oil, like mineral oil, resulting in increased carbon buildup and skyrocketing fuel consumption. I recommend Raeton CC owners change their oil regularly, every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers depending on driving habits; if you frequently encounter city traffic jams, changing it earlier is better. Engine oil is no small matter—choose certified brands when selecting. Synthetic oil has better cleaning properties and can extend engine life. If you have any issues, visit the 4S shop—don't experiment randomly.

When I first bought the Ruicheng CC, I knew nothing about cars. The salesperson told me the standard oil was 5W-30 synthetic. I used it for over half a year, and during the oil change, the technician also said it was a perfect match, keeping the engine running smoothly and quietly. The manual emphasizes that this oil is specifically designed for the Ruicheng CC, offering strong protection and some fuel efficiency. I change the oil every 6,000 kilometers, and the car has been running smoothly ever since. New car owners should read the manual first, especially the oil section, to avoid minor issues.

As a car enthusiast, I'm quite concerned about the engine oil used in the Ruicheng CC. Its 5W-30 synthetic oil performs reliably in normal driving conditions. I've tested it on long highway trips, and the oil maintains good adhesion at high temperatures while reducing engine noise. For those looking to slightly enhance performance through modifications, full synthetic oil can be used, but it must meet the original factory specifications to avoid voiding the warranty. Although the Ruicheng CC is an everyday car, oil selection is crucial for engine longevity. Avoid using high-viscosity oils that can increase resistance. The owner's manual is the gold standard, and regular oil changes are essential for maintaining engine health.

How to Clean the Car Interior Roof?

Car interior roof cleaning steps are: 1. Fold down the seats and cover them with towels or seat covers to prevent contamination from water or cleaning agents dripping from the roof; 2. Fill a spray bottle with water and diluted cleaning solution, then spray it onto the roof; 3. After the cleaning agent foams, use a soft brush for cleaning to avoid pilling and damaging the roof fabric. Use a wrung-out cleaning cloth during the process, as the padding inside car roofs is typically made of heat-insulating and sound-absorbing material that can absorb water. If a wet towel is used, the roof material may become soaked with cleaning agent and difficult to dry, potentially leading to material peeling in severe cases. Always use a pH-neutral foam cleaning agent to prevent fabric corrosion, discoloration, and water stains on the car.

How to Identify the Quality of Gasoline?

Methods to identify gasoline quality: 1. Observe the color: High-quality gasoline is generally light yellow or colorless and transparent, while inferior oil appears dark or cloudy; 2. Smell the odor: Good-quality gasoline has a faint aromatic smell without any irritating odor. If the aromatic smell is strong, it may indicate a high content of aromatic hydrocarbons. If there is any strange or foul odor, it might be leaded gasoline or low-grade oil mixed with water; 3. Feel the texture: Pour a small amount of gasoline on your hand. If it evaporates quickly, the oil is of good quality; 4. Listen for sounds: If the car engine behaves abnormally after refueling, such as producing harsh noises, backfiring exhaust, or knocking sounds, it could indicate poor fuel quality.

Can a Used National 5 Vehicle Be Licensed?

Whether in regions where the National 6 standard has already been implemented or in those where it has not yet been implemented, used vehicles meeting the National 5 emission standard can be normally transferred and licensed. The relocation policies of various cities in the country have not changed, and the trend of national policies is to gradually remove restrictions on used vehicles. Some cities have already lowered their relocation standards, so the cross-region transfer of National 5 used vehicles is also possible. Precautions for purchasing used vehicles: 1. When buying a used car, first walk around the vehicle to check if all four tires are properly inflated. 2. Observe whether the tire brands are consistent. 3. Inspect the front wheels. 4. Check the wheel bearings of the used vehicle. 5. After the used vehicle transaction is completed, require the buyer to promptly deliver the relevant documents.

How Often Should the Mercedes Air Filter Be Replaced?

According to the vehicle's maintenance manual, the car's air filter should generally be replaced every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers or during every other maintenance service. However, it is recommended to clean the air filter every 5,000 kilometers to reduce the buildup of throttle sludge. The location of the air filter varies depending on the intake system design and engine structure. It is typically located within the air cleaner housing attached to the engine's intake pipe. There are two types of automotive air filters: dry and wet. Dry filters are made of paper or organic materials, while wet filters are constructed with metal mesh. The function of the air filter is to remove particulate impurities from the air, ensuring sufficient clean air enters the cylinders and preventing airborne dust from being drawn into the engine, which accelerates wear on piston assemblies and cylinders. Mercedes C-Class Air Filter Replacement Tutorial Location: Right side of the engine bay, connected to a prominent large intake pipe. The tools required for removing the air filter are common and should be prepared in advance (Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, hex socket, etc.). Locate the air filter housing and use the appropriate tools to loosen the fasteners. Lift the air filter housing cover to access the old filter. To determine if the filter needs replacement, it is convenient to remove it from the housing. If the filter is slightly dirty, it can be cleaned with compressed air and reused. However, if the filter is damaged or excessively dirty, it should be replaced immediately. Note: Some models may require disconnecting rubber couplings when removing the air filter. Air Filter: A filtration device also known as an air filter cartridge, air cleaner, or air element. It is primarily used in engineering vehicles, automobiles, agricultural machinery, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision workspaces. The engine draws in large amounts of air during operation. Without filtration, airborne dust entering the cylinders accelerates wear on piston assemblies and cylinders. Larger particles entering between pistons and cylinders can cause severe cylinder scoring, particularly in dry and sandy environments. The air cleaner is installed before the carburetor or intake manifold to filter out dust and sand, ensuring sufficient clean air enters the cylinders. Dirty Air Filter: Using a heavily soiled air filter while driving can restrict engine airflow, leading to incomplete fuel combustion. This results in unstable engine operation, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, it is essential to keep the air filter clean. The automotive air filter is a device that removes particulate impurities from the air, consisting of one or more filtration components. Its primary function is to filter harmful impurities from the air before it enters the cylinders, reducing premature wear on cylinders, pistons, piston rings, valves, and valve seats. Thus, air must pass through the fine filtration of the air cleaner before entering the cylinders. A dirty air filter can cause poor engine performance, excessive fuel consumption, and engine damage. When inspecting the air filter, if minimal dust and light clogging are observed, it can be cleaned with high-pressure air from the inside out and reused. Severely dirty air filters should be replaced promptly.

Is It Illegal to Install a Rear Wing on a Vehicle?

Installing a rear wing on a vehicle is not illegal, as long as the modification does not exceed 60% of the vehicle's body area. In such cases, there is no need to apply for a change registration with the traffic management authorities. However, if the modification exceeds 60%, it is mandatory to register the changes; otherwise, the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection. If the vehicle owner's residence moves within the jurisdiction of the traffic management authorities, or if the owner's name or contact information changes, it must be reported to the traffic management authorities where the vehicle is registered. Unauthorized changes to the registered structure, construction, or features of the vehicle—including modifications to the power system, lighting, operation, exhaust emissions, cooling, braking, soundproofing, suspension, steering system, external structure, body color, tires, or rims—must also be reported.
