For a car with 200,000 kilometers, 5W/40 engine oil is recommended. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is referred to as the 'blood' of a car. It serves functions such as lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, and reducing friction in the engine. Automotive Lubricant Standards: The viscosity standard follows the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) viscosity classification, which distinguishes the suitable temperature ranges for different lubricants. The performance standard primarily adopts the API (American Petroleum Institute) performance classification, used to differentiate the performance and quality of lubricants. Other classifications include ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers Association), JASO (Japanese Automotive Standards Organization), and classifications by various engine manufacturers.

Does Using the Heater in a Car Consume More Fuel?

Using the heater in a car does not consume more fuel because: the heater utilizes the waste heat from the engine's cooling system, where a fan directs the heat into the cabin, effectively recycling it. The method to use the heater in a car is: 1. After starting the vehicle, turn off the AC button; 2. Once the engine coolant temperature reaches the normal operating level, turn on the heater. The car air conditioning system, also known as the car climate control system, serves the following purposes: 1. To regulate and maintain the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow within the car cabin at optimal levels; 2. To provide a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing travel fatigue; 3. To create favorable working conditions for the driver.

Should I Service My Car When the Time is Due but the Mileage Hasn't Been Reached?

When the service time is due but the mileage hasn't been reached, you still need to service your car. There are two criteria for car maintenance: time and mileage, whichever comes first. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle. Its purposes are: 1. To keep the car clean and tidy; 2. To ensure the vehicle is in good technical condition, eliminating potential hazards and preventing faults; 3. To slow down the deterioration of parts and extend their service life. Precautions for maintenance include: 1. Avoid running the engine for long periods in an unventilated garage; 2. Avoid sucking on fuel pipes with your mouth; 3. Avoid getting carburetor cleaner on the car body.

How Heavy is a Small Car?

A typical small car weighs approximately 1400kg to 1500kg. Below is relevant information: Introduction to car manufacturing materials: Currently, magnesium alloy is internationally recognized as the 21st century's green engineering structural material. Replacing steel with magnesium alloy in automobile and motorcycle manufacturing can not only achieve weight reduction, lower fuel consumption and pollution, but also reduce vibration and noise while improving the performance of the power transmission system. Introduction to car classifications: Class A (including A0 and A00) vehicles refer to compact cars; Class B vehicles are mid-range cars; Class C vehicles are premium cars; while Class D vehicles denote luxury cars. This classification is primarily based on parameters such as wheelbase, engine displacement, and weight. The further the letter in the alphabet, the longer the wheelbase, larger the displacement and weight, and higher the luxury level of the vehicle.

Will Full Throttle Cause Engine Blowout?

Whether full throttle will cause engine blowout depends on the condition of the vehicle itself: 1. When the accelerator is fully depressed, the tachometer will reach the red line position, and engine blowout will not occur; 2. If the engine has been used for too long, engine blowout may occur. The accelerator is part of the vehicle's fuel supply system, controlling the opening of the engine throttle, the amount of air intake, and the engine speed by adjusting the pedal pressure. The effects of engine blowout are: 1. The vehicle's tachometer enters the red zone, and due to excessive temperature, the piston expands and gets stuck in the cylinder, causing the engine to be scrapped; 2. Excessive pressure prevents the piston from moving, leading to the locking of all four wheels and flames being ejected.

How to Repair Small Dents on the Car Body?

The methods to repair small dents on the car body are: 1. Select an appropriate round-headed pry bar based on the location of the dent; 2. Place the pry bar inside the car body and use the round-headed part to gently lift the dent with appropriate force; 3. For areas where the pry bar cannot reach, such as double-layer or multi-layer panels on the car body, a dent puller can be used for repair; 4. Observe the reference surface of the raised area from the car body surface, and stop applying force when the raised part just exceeds the metal panel reference surface. Methods to prevent small dents on the car body are: 1. Park the car in an open area; 2. Maintain a safe distance when driving at high speeds to avoid being hit by stones kicked up by the vehicle in front.
