It is recommended to choose engine oil with a viscosity grade of either 5W-30 or 5W-40. If the vehicle is frequently driven in urban areas or for short distances, fuel consumption may be slightly higher. To mitigate this, avoid sudden braking and aggressive acceleration, and reduce the vehicle's load weight. Engine oil viscosity grades: Both semi-synthetic and full synthetic oils have their own grading systems, which many car owners notice during oil changes, such as 5W-30 or 5W-40. These grades indicate the oil's resistance to freezing and its high-temperature viscosity. Engine oil quality ratings: Engine oils labeled with an "S" at the beginning are designed for gasoline engines, while those labeled with a "C" are for diesel engines. API stands for the American Petroleum Institute, and the API rating represents the quality grade of the engine oil. It indicates the oil's performance capability in engine operation.

Why does the tire pressure monitoring suddenly display bar?

When the car displays bar, it indicates low tire pressure, and you need to check if the tire is leaking. Below is an introduction to bar-related content: Conversion: The general tire pressure for cars is around 2.5bar, where 1bar equals 100kpa. Unit: Both bar and kpa commonly seen on vehicles are units for measuring tire pressure, and the tire pressure display is used to show the current tire pressure. Lifespan: Both excessively high and low tire pressure can affect the tire's lifespan. When the tire pressure is too low, the tire body expands, making the sidewalls prone to cracking. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating tire wear.

Is a tire pressure of 228 normal?

A tire pressure of 228 is not normal. Tire pressure should be checked frequently and it's best to maintain the same pressure, with a maximum variation not exceeding 10. Below is relevant information about tire pressure: Introduction: Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Nowadays, many tires are not filled with air. For these tires, the requirements for tire pressure are more stringent. Tires filled with air are related to seasonal changes. Moreover, tire pressure is closely linked to vehicle performance, such as comfort and load capacity, and also affects tire lifespan. Function: Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In terms of car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and engine damage will lead to the end of the car's life. Similarly, tire pressure is the blood pressure of the car, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the car's performance and power.

Where to Bleed the Clutch on a Baojun 730?

The clutch on the Baojun 730 can be bled at the protruding clutch pipe on the transmission. Simply pull it out to release the air. Function of the Clutch: The clutch, as the name suggests, serves to engage and disengage. It connects or disconnects the engine from the wheel transmission system. In other words, when the clutch is depressed, the engine's transmission is disconnected from the wheels, preventing the engine's power from reaching the wheels to drive the car. When the clutch is released, the engine's transmission reconnects with the wheels, transferring power to them and allowing the car to move. Principle of the Clutch: When the driver presses the clutch pedal, the mechanism causes the diaphragm spring's large end to push the pressure plate backward, separating the driven part from the driving part. At different speeds, the engine's transmission needs to deliver varying speeds to the wheels. This requires disengaging the slower gear from the wheels and engaging the higher-speed gear with them. This process of engagement and disengagement is precisely where the clutch comes into play.
