Volkswagen 1.4 engine can use 5W-40 type engine oil. Recommended engine oil for new Volkswagen cars: If it's a new car, maintenance must be done at the 4S shop using their engine oil, otherwise it will be considered as voiding the warranty. Shanghai Volkswagen uses Mobil 1 fully synthetic oil, but the 4S price is relatively high, so you can choose according to your situation. Engine oil type selection: SN-grade fully synthetic oil is recommended because it's a turbocharged model, and fully synthetic oil is better. A viscosity grade of 40 is recommended. Any brand from major manufacturers is fine, with Great Wall being recommended for maintenance. As for the grade selection, it depends on the local temperature. If the minimum temperature is below -30°C, you should choose 5W or lower, preferably 0W engine oil.

Why Do Electric Cars Accelerate Faster Than Gasoline Cars?

Electric cars accelerate faster than gasoline cars for the following reasons: 1. Electric vehicles: The power source is the conversion of electrical energy into kinetic energy, which is transmitted directly and quickly without intermediate media, directly driving the wheels. 2. Gasoline cars: The power source is the conversion of fuel combustion into thermal energy, which is then transformed into mechanical energy for output. The mechanical energy is transmitted to the transmission through the friction of the clutch during rotation, and the transmission, through the action of gears, outputs the power via the differential's planetary gears and the drive shaft, completing the conversion and output of power. The entire process of power conversion and output in an engine involves many steps and multiple media, leading to increased energy loss.

How to Replace Coolant in ix35?

Here are the steps to replace coolant in ix35: 1. Unscrew the radiator cap and open the radiator drain valve, usually located at the bottom of the car, to drain the coolant. 2. Clean the cooling system by continuously injecting clean water into the engine cooling system. During the flushing process, keep the engine idling to maintain the flow of clean water inside until clear water comes out from the radiator. 3. Stop injecting water, wait for the water to drain completely, and then close the drain valve. 4. Fill with new coolant until the liquid level is between the max and min marks. 5. Close the cap, start the car, and let the engine idle for two to three minutes. The cooling system will expel internal air, causing the coolant level to drop slightly. At this point, you should replenish the coolant again.
