What type of engine oil should be used in winter depends on the lowest temperature in your region during winter. If the winter temperature in your area does not drop below -35 degrees Celsius, then 0W oil can be used. If it does not drop below -30 degrees Celsius, 5W oil can be used, and if it does not drop below -35 degrees Celsius, 10W oil is suitable. When selecting engine oil, it is essential to choose the appropriate viscosity for your car's engine based on its technical characteristics. The viscosity of the oil should not be too high or too low. If the viscosity is too low, the engine may not receive sufficient lubrication, which can increase wear and tear. If the viscosity is too high, it can increase the resistance the engine faces during operation, negatively affecting power output and fuel economy.

How to Solve Fogging on Car Windows?

Turn the air conditioning temperature adjustment button to the warm air direction, press the defrost button, and use the warm air generated by the air conditioning to dry the fog on the windshield. If the fog is not heavy, you can open a small gap in the windows on both sides to allow air convection inside the car. You can use the wipers directly, but remember to spray water while wiping, not dry wiping. Turn on the air conditioning and direct it to blow onto the front windshield.

What is the process of vehicle repossession for overdue car loans?

Generally, when a car buyer's loan payment is just overdue, the auto finance company will primarily remind the buyer to make timely repayments via text messages and phone calls. If the car buyer's loan remains overdue for more than one month, the auto finance company may delegate the collection of this loan to a third-party debt collection agency. Should the car buyer's loan be overdue for more than three months, the auto finance company might then proceed with vehicle repossession measures. Apart from repossession, if the car buyer's loan is overdue for more than three months, the auto finance company may also directly file a civil lawsuit in court.

How to Adjust Car Mirrors Most Appropriately?

You can adjust them using the electric buttons inside the car, which are located on the left side of the steering wheel, allowing you to adjust the left and right rearview mirrors. Adjust the left and right positions so that the left edge of the mirror just cuts off the right ear of the image in the mirror, and adjust the up and down positions so that the horizon is centered in the mirror. When adjusting the up and down positions, place the distant horizon in the center, and for the left and right positions, adjust so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area. For the right rearview mirror, leave a larger area for the ground when adjusting up and down, about 2/3 of the mirror's surface. For the left and right positions, the car body should occupy 1/4 of the mirror's area.
