The Trumpchi GS7 uses 5W30 engine oil. Below is a brief introduction about the Trumpchi GS7: 1. The Trumpchi GS7 is a new five-seat mid-size SUV under GAC Trumpchi. The body contour of the GS7 continues the square and rugged style of the Trumpchi GS8, with only the roof and rear lines differing slightly from the GS8 starting from the C-pillar, making the rear appear more compact. The design of the front headlights shares similarities with the GS8, showcasing a distinct family-style. 2. Power introduction: It is equipped with an electronic gear shift. In terms of power, the GS7 continues to feature a 2.0T engine, using the same 4B20M1 model as the GS8, and incorporates BorgWarner's low-inertia turbocharger.

I've been repairing cars for twenty years, and seeing the GAC GS7 owner asking about engine oil, I'll tell you straight: using 5W-30 full synthetic oil is the perfect choice. The engine type determines the viscosity—5W ensures quick cold starts for the GS7's engine, while 30 provides strong high-temperature lubrication, reducing wear on components. Don't just pick any brand; go for trusted ones like Mobil 1 or Shell PurePlus, with an API standard of SN or higher to ensure cleanliness and prevent carbon buildup. Personally, I change the oil every 7,500 kilometers during maintenance, always pairing it with a new filter to avoid delayed changes affecting fuel efficiency. Remember, good oil extends engine life, saves money and hassle, and prevents cold-start struggles in winter.

I've been driving the Trumpchi GS7 for three years and always insist on using 5W-30 full synthetic oil. The viscosity is just right, making the engine run smoothly without any humming noise. When choosing oil, pay attention to certifications like SP grade to prevent oxidation, and trust reliable brands like Mobil or Castrol. For daily driving, change the oil frequently—I do it every 8,000 kilometers to extend engine life and save fuel. If you buy oil yourself, look for official stores on Taobao to avoid counterfeit products. Don’t neglect regular maintenance; after an oil change, you’ll feel quicker acceleration.

Can New Energy Vehicles Get Regular License Plates?

New energy vehicles can get regular license plates. What are new energy vehicles: New energy vehicles generally refer to models whose primary power source does not solely rely on internal combustion engines. The most distinctive feature of new energy vehicles is that they use electric motors for power, with the electricity supplied by batteries. These batteries can be charged through built-in generators, external charging ports, solar energy, chemical energy, or even nuclear energy. General classification of new energy vehicles: Currently, new energy vehicles on the market can be broadly divided into plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and battery electric vehicles. There is no mandatory requirement for new energy vehicles to use green license plates; they can still opt for blue plates. The first letter of the special license plate for small new energy vehicles is D or F, where D represents battery electric new energy vehicles, and F represents plug-in hybrid new energy vehicles. For large new energy vehicles, the sixth letter of the special license plate is D or F, with D representing battery electric new energy vehicles and F representing plug-in hybrid new energy vehicles.

What's the Difference Between Three-Cylinder and Four-Cylinder Cars?

In the current automotive market, four-cylinder engine models are the most common. Here are the differences between three-cylinder and four-cylinder cars: 1. Engine: A four-cylinder car has an engine with four cylinders. Common engine displacements like 1.4, 1.5, and 2.0 are mostly four-cylinder engines. A three-cylinder car has an engine with only three cylinders. Common engine displacements like 1.0 and 1.3 are mostly three-cylinder engines. 2. Stability: Four-cylinder cars are significantly more stable than three-cylinder cars. This is because the four-cylinder engine operates with balanced forces, where the power and reaction forces cancel each other out, greatly reducing engine vibration. Three-cylinder engines lack one cylinder, resulting in a moment during operation when the engine is not producing power. This makes the vibration of three-cylinder engines more noticeable, and their stability naturally falls short compared to four-cylinder, six-cylinder, and eight-cylinder engines.

What is required for reissuing a vehicle license in a different location?

Reissuing a vehicle license in a different location requires: the applicant's ID card (original and copy, and a residence permit if the applicant's household registration is in a different location); a digital photo receipt for the driver's license; a one-inch white-background photo specifically for the driver's license, and other materials. Location for reissuance: Bring your ID card, two recent one-inch white-background color photos without hats, and if the driver's license was issued in a location different from your household registration, also bring a temporary residence permit or residence permit, to the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued to complete the reissuance procedure. Limitations on reissuance applications: During the period when the motor vehicle driver's license is legally seized, detained, or temporarily suspended, the motor vehicle driver may not apply for a reissuance. After the motor vehicle driver has obtained a replacement driver's license, the original driver's license becomes invalid and must not be used further.

Should the gasoline be replaced if the motorcycle has been parked for several months?

If the motorcycle has been parked for several months, there is no need to replace the gasoline. However, after starting it, you should check the fuel level. If the level is too low, you will need to add more gasoline. Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from the distillation and cracking of petroleum, and it is used as fuel. 90 Octane Gasoline: Suitable for gasoline-powered vehicles with an engine compression ratio below 8.5. 92 Octane Gasoline: Suitable for gasoline-powered vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6 and 9.9. 95 Octane Gasoline: Suitable for gasoline-powered vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 10.0 and 11.5. 98 Octane Gasoline: Suitable for gasoline-powered vehicles with an engine compression ratio above 11.6.

How Often Should Coolant Be Replaced in a New Car?

New cars generally require coolant replacement every two years or 40,000 kilometers. The reasons for rapid coolant consumption and its functions are as follows: Reasons for rapid coolant consumption: Radiator damage, poor sealing of the upper and lower water chambers causing coolant leakage; loose connections and poor sealing at the reservoir, water pump interface, and various coolant system pipe joints leading to coolant leakage; cylinder head gasket damage, excessive flatness deviation or warping of the cylinder head and block mating surfaces, and loose cylinder head fastening bolts allowing high-temperature, high-pressure gases to enter the cooling system, resulting in rapid coolant consumption. Functions of coolant: Raises the "boiling point" of the engine coolant (the temperature at which cooling water boils), lowers the "freezing point" of the cooling water, typically has a service life of 1-2 years, and specialized test strips are available to measure coolant concentration.

What causes the body shaking of Audi A4?

Here are the possible reasons for the shaking: 1. Excessive carbon deposits - Severe carbon buildup in the engine cylinders can lead to spark plug blockage and valve clogging, directly causing vehicle shaking during idling. If the car's acceleration performance has significantly deteriorated with persistent shaking, consider an engine cylinder cleaning. 2. Fuel supply system failure - Unstable fuel pressure may cause inconsistent mixture concentration, resulting not only in shaking but also unstable idling. First consider replacing the fuel filter, as prolonged use may clog the filter element. Then check the fuel pressure bypassing the filter - if abnormal, it might indicate a fuel pump issue. 3. Worn engine mounts - This is a very common cause of shaking. If the engine vibration worsens without corresponding power loss, consider checking the engine mounts. 4. Misfiring cylinders - This is the most common cause of engine shaking (perhaps even the most frequent). The problem lies in the engine ignition coils or spark plugs. If the ignition coil malfunctions or spark plugs fail to fire for any reason, the vehicle will experience shaking.
