Honda Fit uses 0W20 engine oil. When changing the oil, it is recommended to use semi-synthetic oil. In terms of power, this car is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, so this engine does not require high viscosity oil, and semi-synthetic oil is sufficient. There are three types of engine oil used in cars: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil. The service interval for mineral oil is 5,000 kilometers, for semi-synthetic oil is 7,500 kilometers, and for fully synthetic oil is about 10,000 kilometers. The body dimensions of the GAC Honda Fit are 4065mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1525mm in height.

I think the Honda Fit works best with 0W-20 or 5W-20 engine oil, and the specifications are clearly stated in the owner's manual. I've been driving a Fit for several years and always use 0W-20 full synthetic oil because it's thinner, especially during cold winter starts, making it easier to flow and protect the engine, preventing rust and wear while also improving fuel efficiency and saving costs. During regular maintenance, remember to choose reputable brands like Shell or Mobil, but the oil specification is more important than the brand. If you're unsure about your vehicle's model year, Fits from 2015 onwards generally recommend 0W-20, while earlier models may use 5W-20. It's advisable to change the oil every 5,000 kilometers or six months to ensure the oil doesn't degrade. Never use thicker oil indiscriminately, as it could clog the pipes and cause the engine to overheat. This choice affects the car's lifespan, so I always advise friends to check the manual first before making any decisions.

What is the difference between additional driving license and direct examination?

Both follow the same examination registration process, but there are differences. Below are the specific details: 1. Main differences: Additional driving license requires taking the exam twice and paying two fees. Directly applying for a B2 license does not require the C1 registration fee. Moreover, upgrading from C1 to B2 requires that the C1 license has been held for at least one year, with no more than 12 penalty points, no speeding, drunk driving, or other major violations before applying for the B2 upgrade. 2. Differences between C1 and B2: The minimum age for application differs—C1 applicants must be at least 18 years old, while B2 applicants must be at least 21. The types of vehicles allowed to drive also differ. C1 license holders can drive: C1 small cars, C2 small automatic transmission cars, C3 low-speed trucks, and C4 three-wheeled vehicles. 3. Examination location differences: C1 applicants can register for the exam at any local vehicle management office, while B2 applicants must register at the vehicle management office in their registered residence.

How to Measure a Four-Wire Oxygen Sensor?

The measurement method for a four-wire oxygen sensor is: 1. Start the engine; 2. Increase the throttle to reach 1500 RPM, then test the signal voltage of the oxygen sensor—the voltage should be between 0.1 and 0.9 volts for normal operation; 3. Measure the resistance between the two wires, which should be around 10 ohms. The function of the oxygen sensor is to convert oxygen content into a voltage signal and transmit it to the engine computer, enabling the engine to achieve closed-loop control targeting excess air. The working principle of the oxygen sensor is: using a ceramic sensing element to measure the oxygen potential in the car's exhaust pipe, calculating the corresponding oxygen concentration based on the chemical equilibrium principle, thereby monitoring and controlling the combustion air-fuel ratio to ensure product quality and compliance with exhaust emission standards.

What is the penalty for driving a C1 vehicle with a C2 license?

According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law": Driving a C1 vehicle with a C2 license is considered driving a vehicle type that does not match the license. It will be classified as driving without a license, resulting in a 12-point deduction from the original driver's license and a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. In severe cases, the offender may also face detention. C license levels: C1: Small cars and C2, C3 (Passenger vehicles with fewer than 9 seats, such as sedans, are considered small cars) C2: Small automatic transmission vehicles C3: Low-speed trucks and C4 C4: Three-wheeled vehicles C5: Small automatic transmission passenger vehicles specially designed for disabled individuals (referring to five categories of people: those with right lower limb disabilities, lower limb disabilities, hearing impairments, missing right thumb, or finger end defects)

Why does the Camry shake severely when in D gear and braking?

The reasons for severe shaking when the Camry is in D gear and braking are: 1. Tire deformation; 2. Tire dynamic imbalance; 3. Vehicle transmission system failure; 4. Worn or loose tie rod ball joints or detached rubber sleeves at the joints; 5. Twisted or deformed drive shaft; 6. Uneven brake discs; 7. Power steering belt too loose or too tight; 8. Aged engine mounts. The Camry is a mid-size car under GAC Toyota. Taking the 2019 Camry facelift Elite Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: 4885 mm in length, 1840 mm in width, 1455 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2825 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters.

Is a tire pressure of 2.6 normal?

A tire pressure of 2.6 is normal. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. The effects of low tire pressure are: 1. Increased friction coefficient with the road surface; 2. Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and prone to deviation; 3. Increased movement of various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heating due to excessive rolling. The effects of high tire pressure are: 1. Reduced friction and adhesion of the tire, affecting braking performance; 2. Steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerated wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, reducing tire lifespan; 4. Increased body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; 5. Excessive stretching deformation of the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car while driving.
