The Peugeot 308 uses engine oil of the specification 5W30, with the recommended maintenance oil being Total SL-5W-30. Here are the reasons: 1. Compared to 5W40, 5W30 has the same low-temperature fluidity but differs in high-temperature performance, where 5W40 offers better high-temperature protection and sealing. 2. Due to increased viscosity leading to higher engine running resistance and increased fuel consumption, 5W30 is relatively more suitable for the Peugeot 308's engine. Approximately 4L of oil is required when changing the oil for the Peugeot 308. Additional information: Naturally aspirated engines have relatively modest requirements for oil quality and can use mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, or fully synthetic oil.

What are the symptoms of a faulty gasoline fuel pump?

The symptoms of a faulty gasoline fuel pump are: 1. Weak acceleration with jerking during sudden acceleration; 2. Difficulty starting the engine, requiring prolonged key turning; 3. Illuminated engine warning light; 4. Abnormal noises such as buzzing sounds while driving; 5. Abnormal engine vibration. The fuel pump is a lightweight and compact pump, categorized into in-line, distributor, and unit types. It requires a power source to operate, with its lower camshaft driven by the engine crankshaft gear. The fuel pump features a housing made of aluminum-containing material and contains a movable molded component inside. This movable component is at least partially made of a sinterable iron-based alloy material containing austenite, with a thermal expansion coefficient of at least 60% of that of the housing material.

Must the Motor Be Replaced If the Carbon Brushes Are Damaged?

Damaged carbon brushes in a motor do not necessarily require replacing the entire motor; the carbon brushes can be replaced instead, although the process can be quite cumbersome. Below is an introduction to engine-related content: 1. Energy Conversion: An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, and more. For example, internal combustion engines typically convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. 2. Device: The term 'engine' can refer to both the power-generating device and the entire machine that includes the power device (e.g., gasoline engines, aircraft engines). The engine was first developed in the UK, so the concept of an engine originates from English, with its original meaning referring to 'a mechanical device that generates power.'

How Many Years Can a Hybrid Car Battery Last?

Hybrid car batteries can last from 1 to 8 years. The functions of the battery are: 1. To power the engine starting system, ignition system, and vehicle electrical systems; 2. To supply power to the vehicle's electrical equipment when the engine is off or at low idle; 3. To absorb voltage spikes in the electrical system and protect the vehicle's electronic devices. Battery maintenance methods include: 1. Avoid overusing the battery; 2. Regularly clean the battery terminals; 3. Periodically check the vent holes on non-maintenance-free battery caps to prevent clogging; 4. Avoid low electrolyte levels; 5. For long-term parking, start the vehicle once a week to recharge the battery.

Does a Broken Exhaust Pipe Gasket Affect Engine Power?

A broken exhaust pipe gasket can affect engine power. If there is only a small hole in the exhaust pipe, it will not cause a significant increase in fuel consumption. However, if the entire exhaust pipe is removed, the exhaust resistance will completely disappear, leading to an increase in engine power and fuel consumption, which will ultimately affect performance. Below is relevant information about automobile exhaust pipes: 1. Introduction: The automobile exhaust bellows, also known as the exhaust pipe flexible hose, is installed between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler. It provides a flexible connection for the entire exhaust system, serving to reduce vibration and noise, facilitate installation, and extend the lifespan of the exhaust muffler system. 2. Classification: Exhaust pipes are generally categorized into: standard OEM pipes, backpressure pipes, semi-backpressure pipes, and straight pipes.

Why won't my old Santana start?

The reasons why an old Santana won't start are as follows: 1. Check if the battery voltage is too low: Turn on the headlights and some electrical devices to observe whether there are noticeable changes in the brightness of the dashboard and interior lighting during the starting process. If they dim, it indicates insufficient battery voltage. 2. Excessive carbon buildup in the intake manifold: Too much carbon deposit on the throttle body or idle speed control valve can prevent the engine from achieving the required air-fuel ratio, making the vehicle unable to start. This may also cause repeated clicking sounds from the solenoid and starter relay. 3. Insufficient fuel supply in the fuel system: This issue is fundamentally similar to excessive carbon buildup in the intake manifold, as both prevent the engine from achieving the required air-fuel ratio, resulting in failure to start.
