The Buick Regal uses 5W30 engine oil. Compared to 5W40 and 5W30, the low-temperature fluidity is the same, but the high-temperature performance differs. 5W40 has higher viscosity, providing better high-temperature protection and sealing performance. However, the increased viscosity results in greater engine resistance and higher fuel consumption. For the Regal's engine, 5W30 is more suitable. Additional details are as follows: Note 1: Depending on the vehicle configuration, the factory-fill oil for the Buick Regal is either dexos engine oil or engine oil that meets GM6094M or GM4718M standards. When changing the oil, if the engine oil filler cap has the dexos logo, it is recommended to use engine oil with the dexos certification mark. Note 2: The Buick Regal is suitable for engine oil identified by the dexos certification mark. Look for and use engine oil displaying the dexos certification mark with the correct viscosity grade, or engine oil that meets General Motors GM6094M standards and is certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API) with a viscosity grade of SAE5W-30. For vehicles equipped with a Turbo engine, use engine oil that meets General Motors GM4718M standards and is certified by the API with a viscosity grade of SAE5W-30.

What is the Difference Between Dry Clutch and Wet Clutch?

Dry clutch and wet clutch differ in their connection medium: The clutch plates of a dry clutch directly contact the engine flywheel, using air as the connection medium; whereas the clutch plates of a wet clutch are immersed in transmission fluid, using oil as the connection medium. A dry dual-clutch operates in a semi-engaged state without overheating, while a wet dual-clutch refers to a multi-plate clutch where two clutches, one large and one small, are coaxially installed together. The clutch, located between the engine and the transmission, acts as a switch for power transfer between them, functioning as a transmission mechanism that can both transmit and cut off power.

Can purified water be directly added to windshield washer fluid in summer?

Purified water cannot be directly added to windshield washer fluid in summer. Purified water can only simply clean dust and lacks the ability to thoroughly remove dirt and insect residue adhered to the windshield. Windshield washer fluid is primarily composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. It serves multiple functions including cleaning, antifreeze, antifog, antistatic, anticorrosion, and lubrication. Commonly used windshield washer fluids include: 1. Summer windshield washer fluid: Contains insect-removing agents to quickly eliminate insect residues on the windshield; 2. Antifreeze windshield washer fluid: Prevents freezing and damage to car facilities when the external temperature drops below -20 degrees Celsius; 3. Special antifreeze windshield washer fluid: Remains unfrozen at -40 degrees Celsius, suitable for extremely cold regions.
