Mercedes-Benz GL550 requires 98-octane fuel, which is superior to 97-octane. The specification of 97-octane gasoline means that at least 97-octane or higher should be used. The introduction and function of gasoline are as follows: Introduction to gasoline: Gasoline, known as Gasoline (US) / Petrol (UK), is a transparent, flammable liquid with a distillation range of 30 to 220 degrees. Its main components are C5-C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into different grades such as 90, 93, 95, and 97 based on octane ratings. Function of gasoline: Gasoline is produced by refining various gasoline components obtained from petroleum refining, including straight-run gasoline components, catalytic cracking gasoline components, and catalytic reforming gasoline components, which are then blended with high-octane components. It is primarily used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in automobiles.

How to Bleed Hydraulic Brakes?

The steps for bleeding hydraulic brakes are as follows: First, press the brake pedal 5 to 6 times consecutively, then hold it down. Immediately loosen the air bleeder screw on the right rear wheel brake caliper and quickly tighten it again. Repeat this process until all air is expelled from the brake fluid through the bleeder screws on all wheels. The sequence for bleeding should be right rear wheel, left rear wheel, right front wheel, left front wheel, and finally the clutch master cylinder. While bleeding, ensure that the reservoir above the brake master cylinder never runs low on brake fluid; it must remain full at all times. The clutch master cylinder is also connected to the brake system, so it requires bleeding as well. Press the clutch pedal, loosen the bleeder bolt on the clutch master cylinder to allow dirty fluid to escape, then retighten the bolt. At this point, the clutch pedal will feel very loose and may not return; simply lift it with your foot and continue pressing.

What size tires should be replaced for Haval H6?

Haval H6 can be fitted with two sizes of tires: 235/55r19 and 235/60r18. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they help to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road, thereby improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability. The Haval H6 is a compact SUV under the Haval brand, with dimensions of 4640mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1690mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2680mm. It is equipped with either a 1.5GDIT or 2.0GDIT engine paired with a wet 7DCT powertrain.

How to Check the Working Condition of a Used Car Engine?

To inspect the working condition of a used car engine, first start the engine and carefully listen for any noises or irregularities. Then, take the car for a drive to feel whether the engine's power output is smooth and if the power response is quick. Finally, if possible, read the engine's fault codes to check for any issues. More details are as follows: 1. The definition of engine working condition refers to the operating state of the equipment under conditions directly related to its operation. The engine's operating state with the lowest fuel consumption rate is called the economic condition; the operating state when the load exceeds the rated value is called the overload condition. 2. Engine working condition, or the engine's operating state, is mainly characterized by the engine's output power and torque at different speeds. The engine can be divided into eight basic working conditions: starting, post-start, warm-up, idle, partial load, full load, transition, and dragging.

What are the reasons for the car's throttle being fully pressed but the RPM not increasing?

The reasons for the car's throttle being fully pressed but the RPM not increasing are: 1. Damaged spark plugs: The spark plugs are damaged, and the wear of the spark plug electrode gap leads to insufficient spark plug ignition, resulting in incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture; 2. Poor fuel quality: The poor quality of gasoline causes poor atomization of the fuel injector, leading to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. It is recommended to use higher-grade gasoline and perform a fuel system cleaning; 3. Unstable fuel pressure: If the engine carbon deposits have been cleaned, the engine oil has been changed, and the spark plugs have been replaced, but the problem persists, it is necessary to go to a repair shop to check whether the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor are normal. If the fuel pump supply pressure is abnormal or the intake pressure sensor value is incorrect and not working properly, the fuel pressure should be checked, and parts should be replaced if necessary.

How many kilometers does the Magotan spark plug need to be replaced?

Magotan spark plugs should be replaced every 30,000 kilometers. Methods to determine if a spark plug is damaged: Remove the spark plug and observe its condition based on the following appearance colors. A normal spark plug will have an insulator skirt and electrodes that appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug will have a reddish-brown insulator skirt, an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm, and no signs of electrode burning. If the spark plug is covered in oil or deposits but is not damaged, it can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plug is severely damaged, with signs such as blistering at the top, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes, the cause of the damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace the spark plug with a new one. Additionally, if the spark plug appears black as if smoked, it indicates that the wrong heat range was selected for the spark plug or that the air-fuel mixture is too rich, with oil seeping up.
