Octavia 1.6 is most suitable for 5W40 or 5W30 grade engine oil. Its engine pursues high power, and its high compression ratio results in a high-temperature working environment inside the engine. Using high-viscosity oil can protect the internal components of the engine and cool them to reduce the operating temperature. Engine Oil Brand Selection: For the selection of engine oil brands, if you prioritize the long-lasting performance of the oil, Mobil oil can be used; if you need oil with strong cleaning capabilities, Shell oil is recommended; if you require oil with strong oil film toughness, Castrol is suggested. For example, turbocharged engines are prone to carbon buildup during high-speed operation, so Shell fully synthetic oil with strong cleaning capabilities can be used. Functions of Engine Oil: Engine oil can lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal and prevent leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. It is known as the 'blood' of the car. Choosing the right engine oil and changing it regularly can maintain the engine in good condition and extend its service life.

Can a New Car Be Replaced if It Breaks Down Within 20 Days?

A new car cannot be replaced if it breaks down within 20 days. Introduction to Car Faults: Car faults refer to phenomena where a car fails to perform its functions, such as difficulty starting the engine, failure to start, oil or water leaks, malfunctioning lighting systems, etc. When a car has a fault, there are usually signs, including sudden changes in performance, abnormal noises, unusual odors, abnormal exhaust smoke, abnormal temperatures, unusual appearances, abnormal fuel or lubricant consumption, and leaks. Common faults are those that occur frequently and are often encountered during use. Heavy Steering: When turning the car, the steering feels unusually heavy and laborious, and the wheels do not return to the straight-ahead position promptly after the turn. This indicates poor technical condition of the steering gear or linkage, incorrect front-wheel alignment, faults in the tires or suspension, or failure of the hydraulic power steering system.

How often should a sedan be driven when left unused?

Sedans should be driven approximately every two weeks when left unused, and the engine should be started once a week to recharge the battery. This not only ensures the battery remains charged but also changes the stress points on the tires when parked, which has no adverse effect on the vehicle. Precautions for long-term vehicle storage: 1. Clean both the exterior and interior of the car before storing it; 2. Increase tire pressure slightly above normal to prevent tire deformation; 3. Avoid engaging the parking brake for extended periods as the braking system can chemically react with moisture and oxygen in the air, leading to rust on brake discs and pads. This may cause them to stick together, impairing braking performance and potentially resulting in wheel lock upon restart; 4. Consider removing the battery or disconnecting the battery cables to slow down battery discharge.
