I've been driving a Sylphy for ten years and have plenty of experience with engine oil maintenance. The Sylphy is well-suited for full synthetic 0W-20 oil, which makes the engine run smoothly during winter starts without any squeaking, and prevents overheating during summer highway driving. I've tried several brands, like Shell Helix and Mobil 1, and found them more reliable, especially since Nissan's original recommendations align with these. The benefits are real—better fuel efficiency, averaging a few extra kilometers per liter, and significantly reduced noise. I make it a habit to regularly check the dipstick; if the oil turns black or develops an odd smell, I change it early to avoid engine clogging. The maintenance cycle is typically every 8,000 kilometers, paired with the original oil filter. The Sylphy can be a bit delicate, so don't skimp on cheap, off-brand oils—good oil protects the engine and extends the car's lifespan. DIY is an option, but beginners should visit a professional shop to avoid mistakes.

Why is the reversing camera of Audi A4L not displaying?

It may be caused by issues with the display settings of the reversing camera; the trunk not being closed properly; camera malfunction; or wiring problems. Introduction to the reversing camera: The reversing camera, also known as the parking assist system, or reversing visual system, or vehicle monitoring system, is widely used in various large, medium, and small vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance. The auxiliary lines of the reversing camera can be divided into two types: simulated wheel trajectory lines and simulated distance marking lines. Troubleshooting methods for the reversing camera not displaying: First, it is necessary to identify the cause of the issue. If it is a display setting problem, there is usually a camera switch control in the display settings, and the switch should be set to ON. If it is a camera malfunction, replacing the reversing camera is required. Wiring issues are the most common problem, as the wiring harness of the reversing camera runs from the dashboard to the trunk, which is a long distance, and it is likely that a section of the wiring harness or a plug is not making good contact, requiring careful inspection.

What Procedures Are Required for an Off-Road Vehicle to Tow a Trailer?

The procedures required for an off-road vehicle to tow a trailer include displaying a motor vehicle license plate, mandatory insurance, and a C1 driver's license, among others. The details are as follows. Displaying a Motor Vehicle License Plate: A trailer is classified as a motor vehicle, and all motor vehicles must display a license plate when driven on the road. Mandatory Insurance: Trailers do not require compulsory traffic insurance, but owners can opt for commercial insurance based on their needs. In the event of a road traffic accident causing personal injury or death, compensation will be provided by the insurance company within the limits of the compulsory motor vehicle traffic accident liability insurance coverage. C1 Driver's License: The required driver's license for towing a trailer depends on the total mass and length of the trailer. For trailers less than 6 meters in length and with a total mass under 4500kg, a C1 license is needed. For trailers longer than 6 meters, a B1 license is required. For trailers exceeding 6 meters in length, a B2 license is necessary.

What is the size of a roadside parallel parking space?

According to national regulations, the dimensions of roadside parallel parking spaces are as follows: large vehicle parking spaces are 4 meters wide and 7 to 10 meters long, depending on the vehicle model. Small vehicle parking spaces are 2.2 to 2.5 meters wide and 5 meters long. The adjacent road should be 5 meters wide for single-sided small vehicle parking, 6 meters for double-sided, and 8 meters for large vehicles. Below is an introduction to parking space markings: Introduction: Parking spaces are composed of markings 0.15 meters wide, mostly in white. Yellow may be used for ground parking space markings. The direction of the vehicle in the parking space is often indicated using white road marking paint. A standard parking space is 5.3m x 2.4m, and the dimensions can be adjusted appropriately based on actual conditions without affecting parking. Each parking space is marked with a space number to avoid parking in the wrong spot and to help drivers locate their vehicles. White markings: White is commonly used in parking lot marking construction. It is more visible and suitable under strong outdoor light reflection. White parking space lines create a unified appearance for the garage. Some underground garages even paint no-parking grid lines in white. For example, Jingkai Tengda marked the underground parking lot at Beiqijia Jade Park in Changping with white lines. Additionally, white has another meaning: when a parking space is marked with white lines, it indicates that the space is a paid parking spot.

Is it a problem if the car doesn't stall after passing through deep water?

If a car enters deep water without stalling, theoretically, there should be no impact on the engine. However, there are too many unpredictable factors, such as water waves from passing vehicles that could splash into the air intake, or unknown underwater conditions like uneven terrain, all of which can affect the vehicle's ability to pass through. When driving through deep water, the following precautions should be taken: When driving through deep water, shift into a low gear, maintain steady throttle, and proceed slowly. If the car stalls during the process, exit the vehicle and do not attempt to restart the engine, as this could damage or even destroy the engine. Before entering the water, ensure a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. For unfamiliar sections of the road, follow the path taken by the preceding vehicle, maintaining a steady fuel supply and moving forward at a slow, constant speed. Enter the water smoothly to avoid splashing water into the engine, which could cause it to stall. Maintain steady throttle while driving and pass through the water in one go, avoiding shifting gears, stopping, or turning midway. If you notice water flow or wheel slippage while driving, stop immediately and do not force your way through. If the engine is still running, push the car out manually to prevent getting stuck deeper.

Does changing the owner's name count as a transfer?

Changing the owner's name does not count as a transfer. A transfer requires submitting the necessary documents, completing the relevant procedures, and registering. The required materials for a transfer include: Vehicle license: Motor vehicle registration certificate; Motor vehicle registration supplementary form; Vehicle purchase tax certificate; ID cards and household registration books of both the buyer and seller. If the buyer is from another region, a residence permit is required, and the buyer's residence permit must be valid for at least one year. The vehicle management office should review the submitted proofs and vouchers within one day from the date of acceptance, annotate the changes on the motor vehicle registration certificate, reclaim the license plate and vehicle license, determine a new motor vehicle license plate number, and reissue the license plate, vehicle license, and inspection certificate. "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" Article 19 If the motor vehicle is owned by two or more people and the name of the registered owner needs to be changed to another co-owner, an application for registration change can be submitted to the vehicle management office at the place of registration. When applying, all motor vehicle owners must jointly submit the application, confirm the application information, and provide the motor vehicle registration certificate, vehicle license, identity proofs of the owners before and after the change, and a notarized proof of co-ownership. However, if the vehicle is jointly owned by a married couple, a marriage certificate or a household registration book proving the marital relationship can be provided. The vehicle management office should review the submitted proofs and vouchers within one day from the date of acceptance, annotate the changes on the motor vehicle registration certificate, reclaim the license plate and vehicle license, determine a new motor vehicle license plate number, and reissue the license plate, vehicle license, and inspection certificate. If the residence of the new motor vehicle owner is not within the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office, the vehicle management offices of the departure and arrival locations should handle the registration change according to the provisions of Article 18.

Can I replace the bulb if the car light is not bright?

Replacing the bulb is possible if the car light is not bright, but it can only provide a slight improvement in brightness, which is not very noticeable. After replacing the bulb, the light may still appear scattered and not focused. The original halogen lamp lens is designed specifically for halogen bulbs, with a lighting distance of about 20 meters. If you switch to an LED bulb, the brightness may improve slightly, but the lighting distance will still be limited to around 20 meters. Additionally, the halogen lens is not compatible with other types of bulbs, so the light will not be properly focused. Below are some additional methods for cleaning car lights on your own: Cleaning with water: Simply wipe the stains off the lamp cover with water, then use soapy water to clean any yellowed areas on the headlight. This will help prevent the headlight from yellowing over time. Using a polisher for restoration: This method can make the lamp cover appear brighter. Dip a clean sponge in some polishing compound and rub it on the car light. The effect will be quite noticeable after polishing, and it also acts as a protective layer for the lamp cover. Cleaning with toothpaste: Apply a small amount of toothpaste to the lamp cover and rub it in a circular motion. If there are noticeable scratches, you can add a bit more toothpaste and gently rub the area. After polishing, the car light will appear much clearer. Typically, it only takes about five to six minutes of rubbing before rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth.
