The Haval M6 uses 5W30 engine oil. As long as the oil used is genuine, any brand can be used. There are many counterfeit and substandard oils on the market, so it is crucial to verify the authenticity of the oil. Using inferior oil not only fails to protect the engine but can also cause damage. The Haval M6 is a compact SUV under the Haval brand, featuring a new design language with a star-dotted grille, integrated lens headlights for high and low beams, a floating roof design paired with unique "boomerang" chrome strips, roof rails, and dragon-wing side waistlines. These elements enhance the vehicle's sleek profile, creating a strong sense of technology and sportiness, effectively meeting the demands of younger customers.

I've been driving a Haval M6 for the past few years, always using 5W-30 full synthetic oil, and the performance is rock solid. The engine doesn't wear easily even under high temperatures, and there's no annoying squeaking sound during startup. In winter snow conditions, the viscosity is just right—it doesn't get too thick like conventional oil, which can make ignition difficult. I'm not particular about oil brands; I've tried both Mobil and Shell, mainly focusing on the SN grade certification. Don't forget to stick to regular maintenance—I recommend changing the oil every 5,000 kilometers or every six months. Delaying it might lead to carbon buildup and damage the engine's lifespan. Keep an eye on the dipstick during daily drives, and after refueling, take a short drive to check for leaks—it saves both money and hassle.

As a car enthusiast, I'm really interested in engine oil specifications. The Haval M6's factory recommendation is 5W-30, where the numbers represent viscosity and flow characteristics: 5W adapts to low-temperature environments, while 30 ensures stable lubrication at high speeds. The advantage of full synthetic oil is its ability to protect engine components and reduce friction and carbon buildup. The oil change interval is typically 7,500 kilometers, adjusted based on road conditions. When choosing brands, avoid pitfalls—Castrol or Great Wall oils with proper certifications are more reliable and cost-effective. Temperature has a significant impact; in hot and humid southern regions, a slightly higher viscosity option might be necessary.

I drive a Haval M6 daily and use 5W-30 full synthetic oil for convenience. The 4S shop technician recommended this type as its viscosity is suitable for quick starts. Don't overfill the oil; keep the amount around 5L per change. Regularly check the oil level to avoid unstable oil pressure on long trips. Generic brand engine oil is fine; don't blindly trust expensive ones. Change the oil every six months along with the filter for smoother driving.

What is the proper tire pressure for a sedan?

For small cars, the normal standard tire pressure is between 2.2-2.5 bar. Below is an introduction about tire pressure: 1. Normal range: The appropriate tire pressure is between 2.3 2.7 BAR. In summer, when temperatures are high, the tire pressure may rise above 3.0 BAR after driving, so a summer tire pressure value between 2.3 2.5 BAR is more suitable. 2. Over-inflation: Over-inflation reduces tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; makes tires more susceptible to punctures from sharp objects like nails or glass, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, and potential tire bursts. 3. Under-inflation: Increases friction with the road surface, raising fuel consumption; causes heavy steering and deviation, posing risks to driving safety; increases movement in various tire parts, leading to abnormal heat generation from excessive rolling; multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength, which can cause blowouts during high-speed driving; under-inflation increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and causing flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, ply fatigue, and cord breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.

Where are the accelerator, brake, and clutch pedals located in a car?

In a car, the clutch pedal is on the left, the brake pedal is in the middle, and the accelerator pedal is on the right. Below are some precautions regarding the operation of the accelerator and clutch pedals. 1. Starting: When starting a manual transmission car, it is essential to use the clutch properly. The key points for operating the clutch pedal during starting are: quick initial lift, slow adjustment when reaching the semi-engagement point, and coordinated movement. Initially, lift the clutch pedal quickly, then slow down the lifting speed when the semi-engagement state is reached. While lifting the clutch pedal, gradually press the accelerator pedal according to the engine resistance to ensure a smooth start. Mastering this technique helps avoid stalling the engine while driving. 2. Gear shifting while driving: When shifting gears during driving, the clutch pedal must be pressed. The clutch pedal should be pressed and released quickly without lingering in the semi-engagement state, as this can accelerate clutch wear. Pay attention to coordinating the accelerator during gear shifts. Inaccurate coordination between the accelerator and clutch may result in jerky gear shifts, causing wear to the car's transmission and reducing ride comfort. Some experienced drivers use the double-clutching method during gear shifts, but this is not recommended for novice drivers. 3. Pressing the clutch when stopping: The clutch should be pressed when stopping the car in daily driving. Not using the clutch when stopping can easily lead to stalling, cause impact on the transmission, and in severe cases, affect the engine's lifespan, increasing the owner's maintenance costs. Proper use of the clutch ensures smooth and stable stopping.

What is the function of an automotive oil filter?

Automotive oil filter is used to: filter the engine oil, improving its cleanliness and lubricity, thereby reducing engine wear and ensuring optimal performance. The automotive oil filter, also known as the oil filter, operates similarly to the circulatory system of the heart—the oil in the oil pump continuously circulates, during which many impurities are generated, requiring the oil filter to remove them. Recommended replacement interval for automotive oil filters: replace every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers driven. It is advisable to replace the oil filter every time the engine oil is changed because contaminants in the old oil filter can reduce the viscosity and cleanliness of the new oil, affect oil circulation speed, and potentially damage the engine.

What is the fault when the excavator safety lock is opened but there is no action?

Excavator safety lock opened but no action fault diagnosis. Check hydraulic oil level: Blocked hydraulic circuit suction filter, oil circuit suction vacuum (including excessively low hydraulic tank oil level) can cause insufficient oil suction or even failure to draw oil in the hydraulic pump. These will directly lead to insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic circuit, resulting in no movement of the excavator. This type of fault can be diagnosed by checking the hydraulic tank liquid level and the contamination degree of the hydraulic oil. Check if the hydraulic pump has malfunction: Hydraulic excavators generally use 2 or more main pumps to supply pressurized oil to the system.

Does the Classic Sylphy have ESP?

Classic Sylphy does not have ESP. ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, which helps maintain optimal vehicle stability under various conditions, particularly effective in cases of oversteer or understeer. More information about ESP is as follows: 1. The ESP system is essentially a traction control system. Compared to other traction control systems, ESP not only controls the drive wheels but also the non-drive wheels. 2. For example, in rear-wheel-drive vehicles that often experience oversteer situations where the rear wheels lose control and cause the car to fishtail, ESP will brake the outer front wheel to stabilize the vehicle. In cases of understeer, to correct the tracking direction, ESP will brake the inner rear wheel to adjust the driving direction.
