The manual recommends engine oil with a specification of SL5W40, while the Tiguan Silk Road Edition 1.8T is suitable for 5W30 or 5W40 fully synthetic engine oil. Below are the relevant details: 1. Fully synthetic engine oil: Fully synthetic oil offers superior quality, providing noticeable improvements in the following aspects: smoother cold starts, especially in northeastern regions; better fuel efficiency; and extended oil change intervals, equivalent to 1.5 times or more compared to conventional lubricants. 2. Engine oil selection: Naturally aspirated engines have lower requirements for oil performance and can use mineral or semi-synthetic oil. If the budget allows, fully synthetic oil can also be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have more precise construction and operate in more complex conditions, requiring higher-quality oil with better fluidity. Fully synthetic oil is recommended, such as for the Tiguan 1.8T.

Does Using the Heater in a Car Increase Fuel Consumption in Winter?

Using the heater in a car does not consume any additional fuel. Here's a detailed explanation: 1. Principle of the heater: The heat generated by the heater actually comes from the engine's own heat. If the driver does not use the heater in summer, this heat is dissipated through the radiator's cooling cycle. 2. When using the heater in winter: Part of the heat generated by the engine is dissipated through the radiator to cool the engine, while the other part enters the car's interior through the heater ducts. Therefore, using the heater in winter does not increase the vehicle's fuel consumption. The so-called increase in fuel consumption is due to the fact that it takes longer for the engine to reach its normal operating temperature in winter compared to spring, summer, and autumn, which naturally leads to higher fuel consumption, but this has nothing to do with using the heater.

What are the symptoms of a damaged motorcycle clutch?

Below are the symptoms of a damaged motorcycle clutch: 1. Starter motor spins freely. If the overrunning clutch is damaged, the driving force cannot be transmitted to the engine crankshaft, resulting in the electric starting system spinning freely. 2. Engine fails to rotate. If the overrunning clutch is damaged and stuck, it will prevent the engine from turning normally, mainly because the overrunning clutch cannot disengage. Below is related information about the clutch: 1. The clutch disc is the medium that transmits engine power to the transmission. Similar to brake pads, the friction material of the clutch disc is primarily made of asbestos-based material, which has certain high-temperature resistance. 2. During vehicle operation, pressing the clutch pedal separates the clutch disc from the engine flywheel, while releasing the pedal re-engages the clutch disc with the engine flywheel, allowing the engine power to match the driving speed.

What does 15w-40 engine oil mean?

15w-40 engine oil represents the viscosity grade of the oil, with specific meanings as follows: 1. The number 15 indicates: The minimum temperature for winter use is -20°C. The smaller the number before the W, the lower the low-temperature viscosity, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the applicable minimum temperature. 2. The number 40 indicates: The high-temperature viscosity in summer. The larger the number after the W, the higher the applicable maximum temperature. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Engine oil is the lubricant used by engines, composed of base oil and additives. 2. The density of engine oil is approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It can lubricate and reduce wear, assist in cooling, seal and prevent leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption and buffering for the engine. It is known as the 'blood' of the car.
