Volkswagen Santana is suitable for using 30-viscosity semi-synthetic or fully synthetic engine oil. Introduction to 30-viscosity semi-synthetic engine oil: 30-viscosity semi-synthetic engine oil is generally suitable for mid-to-low-end naturally aspirated engine models. As long as it is not a turbocharged engine or a high-end, large SUV model, this semi-synthetic engine oil can be used. The replacement cycle for semi-synthetic engine oil is about 8 months, and it should generally be replaced after about 7,000 kilometers. Introduction to fully synthetic engine oil: Automotive fully synthetic engine oil is a type of engine oil with better cleaning and oxidation resistance, entirely composed of synthetic compounds. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties. Additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance and provide certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.

What are the reasons for the loud noise in a Corolla?

The reasons for the loud noise in a Corolla are: 1. The vehicle is in the break-in period, and the components are fitting too tightly; 2. The engine oil needs to be replaced; 3. Operational issues, such as low gear with high RPM or high gear with low speed, can cause increased noise. Taking the 2021 Corolla as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4635mm, width 1780mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase 2700mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters.

Do You Need to Wait for a Green Light to Make a U-Turn at an Intersection?

If the gap is marked with a dashed line, the U-turn is not affected by the traffic signal and does not require crossing the pedestrian crossing. In this case, you can make a U-turn directly, provided it does not interfere with other vehicles and ensures your safety. If the gap is marked with a solid line, then the U-turn must cross the pedestrian crossing and is subject to the traffic signal. When making a U-turn that requires crossing the pedestrian crossing, you must yield to pedestrians: If pedestrians are walking on the right side of the road's crosswalk and have not reached the centerline, vehicles on the left side of the road should slow down and proceed only after ensuring safety. If pedestrians are waiting outside the boundary line of the motorized and non-motorized lanes and have not entered the roadway, vehicles should slow down and proceed only after ensuring safety. If pedestrians have crossed the boundary line between the motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles must stop; failing to do so is a violation and subject to penalties. If pedestrians have entered the motorized lane (Lane A) via the crosswalk, vehicles in Lane B must slow down and proceed only after ensuring safety. Failing to stop for pedestrians in Lane A is a violation and subject to penalties. If pedestrians are waiting at the centerline of the road without entering the motorized lane, vehicles must stop; failing to do so is a violation and subject to penalties. If pedestrians have crossed the centerline and entered the motorized lane, vehicles must stop; failing to do so is a violation and subject to penalties. If the road is divided by a green belt and pedestrians are waiting in the middle area, vehicles must slow down and proceed only after ensuring safety. Scenarios where U-turns are allowed: If there is a U-turn sign at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. If there is a U-turn traffic signal, follow its instructions. If there is no signal, make the U-turn without interfering with other vehicles or pedestrians. If there are no explicit signs prohibiting U-turns or left turns, you can make a U-turn. This means if there are no "No U-Turn" or "No Left Turn" signs and the centerline is not solid, you can proceed with the U-turn. Yellow grid lines also allow U-turns: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones at intersections prone to congestion. While stopping on these lines is prohibited, U-turns are allowed unless there is a central barrier. If there is a dedicated U-turn signal, follow it—only proceed on green. If signs allow U-turns but prohibit left turns, note that "No U-Turn" is not the same as "No Left Turn." Things to note when making a U-turn at an intersection: Check road markings—if they are solid, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable spot. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign, U-turns are also prohibited, as they involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, you cannot make a U-turn at that intersection. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Failing to do so makes you liable for any accidents. Near the stop line, lanes often have directional arrows. If the leftmost lane has a straight arrow instead of a left-turn arrow, U-turns are prohibited even if there are no explicit signs.

Can a Snorkel Installation Pass the Annual Vehicle Inspection?

Installing a snorkel on an off-road vehicle is not a legal modification and will not pass the annual inspection. Here are the detailed reasons: 1. Snorkel: Normally, a vehicle's engine air intake is located near the engine. During water crossings, if the intake is below the water level, water can be sucked into the engine, causing severe damage. A snorkel significantly raises the engine air intake position, ensuring the engine does not ingest water during off-road water crossings. 2. Legal Basis: Article 16 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' stipulates that no unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter its registered structure, construction, or characteristics without authorization.

Does Installing a Radar Affect the Car?

Installing a reverse radar does not affect the car. Below is a detailed introduction to reverse radars: 1. Introduction: A reverse radar, also known as a reverse collision avoidance radar or parking assist device, mainly consists of ultrasonic sensors, a controller, and a display. It serves as a safety auxiliary device when parking or reversing, providing the driver with information about surrounding obstacles through sound or more intuitive displays, thus eliminating the hassle of checking around the vehicle during parking, reversing, or starting. 2. Principle: When reversing, the reverse radar utilizes ultrasonic waves. The sensor installed on the rear bumper sends ultrasonic waves that reflect off obstacles, calculates the actual distance between the vehicle and the obstacle, and then alerts the driver, making parking or reversing easier and safer.
