2021 Mercedes-Benz C260L requires fully synthetic engine oil. The advantages of fully synthetic engine oil are introduced as follows: Low evaporation loss of fully synthetic engine oil: Fully synthetic oil is a pure compound with a narrow boiling point range, and its evaporation loss is much lower than that of mineral oil, which can reduce fuel consumption, reduce exhaust emissions, and extend the service life of the catalytic converter. In addition, compared with traditional mineral oil, synthetic engine oil also has excellent chemical stability, good radiation resistance, high oil film strength, and low foaming characteristics. Therefore, high-end cars generally choose synthetic engine oil. Strong high-temperature oxidation resistance of fully synthetic engine oil: The thermal oxidation stability of fully synthetic oil is much better than that of mineral oil, meaning it has a lower tendency to produce acidic substances and sludge due to oxidation. Under various harsh operating conditions, it can provide appropriate lubrication and effective protection for the engine, thus having a longer service life and ensuring the stability of the oil's performance over long-term use. In the same working environment, synthetic oil has a much longer service life than mineral oil, so although the cost is higher, when comparing the number of oil changes, it is not much higher than mineral oil.

What to Do When the Car Warning Light Comes On?

When the engine warning light comes on, it can be divided into three scenarios, each requiring a different response: 1. The car cannot start: This may be caused by a faulty fuel pump or ignition components. In this case, call a repair shop for assistance immediately. 2. The warning light is on but there are no abnormalities in the vehicle's performance: This might just be a sensor malfunction. You can continue driving temporarily, but it's best to drive at low speed and visit a repair shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair. 3. Symptoms like shaking occur: The engine warning light is on, and the vehicle can still be driven, but if there are severe shaking, lack of acceleration, or other symptoms, stop the car promptly and call for roadside assistance.

What is the issue with P2188 Cylinder Bank 1 System Too Rich at Idle?

P2188 Cylinder Bank 1 System Too Rich at Idle refers to an excessive fuel delivery issue. The following are the potential causes of this fault: 1. Air leak in the intake pipe from the turbocharger to the throttle; 2. Faulty mass air flow sensor; 3. Faulty turbocharger pressure sensor; 4. Mechanical failure of the turbocharger; 5. Wiring fault in the mass air flow sensor or turbocharger pressure sensor; 6. Leak in the engine crankcase ventilation system; 7. Faulty carbon canister purge valve system; 8. Engine control unit failure; 9. Exhaust system faults such as a clogged catalytic converter.

What is the tutorial for adjusting the height of high beams?

High beam height adjustment tutorial is as follows: 1. Adjust the light position: This is achieved by turning the corresponding adjustment knobs located at the back of the headlights. The specific parts to be adjusted and the tools required vary depending on the vehicle model. Before adjusting, aim the headlights at a wall and observe whether the light is misaligned, too high, or too low. 2. The adjustment wheel is marked with numerical gears: The numbers indicate the height of the headlights, with higher numbers corresponding to higher beam positions. For example, position 0 is the initial setting, typically for when the vehicle has only the driver or the driver plus one front passenger; position 1 is for a fully occupied vehicle with no cargo in the trunk; position 2 is for a fully occupied vehicle with evenly distributed cargo in the trunk; and position 3 is for the driver only with evenly distributed cargo in the trunk.

How to Use Clutch and Brake When Going Downhill

There are two scenarios for using clutch and brake when going downhill: 1. Short and gentle slope: For small and short slopes, simply use the brake to control vehicle speed; 2. Steep and long slope: For steep and long slopes, shift to a lower gear in advance to utilize engine braking for speed control, while coordinating with brake application for deceleration. Precautions when going downhill: 1. Check braking performance: Always inspect braking effectiveness before descending to eliminate safety hazards. 2. Avoid coasting in neutral: Before descending, ensure the vehicle enters the downhill section at a controllable speed by selecting an appropriate low gear according to the slope gradient. Regardless of slope steepness, coasting in neutral is not recommended. Properly utilize engine braking to reduce vehicle inertia speed.

What does KERS on a car mean?

KERS stands for the Kinetic Energy Recovery System. Its fundamental principle is to store the vehicle's braking energy through technical means and release it as auxiliary power during the car's acceleration process. The following are the constraint clauses in the new regulations: 1. Power requirements: The maximum output and input power of the KERS system must not exceed 60KW, and the total energy released per lap must not exceed 400KJ. 2. Racing requirements: During the refueling process in the pit, no additional energy storage can be added to the KERS system. The racing engine, gearbox, clutch, differential, KERS, and all related activation mechanisms must be controlled by the ECU provided by the FIA-designated ECU supplier (i.e., the standard ECU provided by McLaren).

What does engine start-stop mean?

Engine start-stop is a very practical automotive energy-saving and emission-reduction technology. It automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving (such as waiting at a red light). When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. There are two main types: 1. Basic start-stop technology: The engine automatically turns off when the car encounters a red light or traffic jam, and promptly restarts when the driver releases the brake pedal or steps on the clutch (or accelerator pedal). 2. Advanced start-stop technology: Equipped with brake energy recovery function, it can convert part of the braking energy into electricity to charge the battery. In hybrid vehicles, the start-stop system is an important component of the powertrain.
