The Lingpai can use 0W20, 0W30, and 5W30 engine oils. Here is more relevant information: 1. Precautions for using engine oil: (1) Excessive oil will increase the rotational resistance of the crankshaft, reduce the engine's output power, and the excess oil may enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion, causing the vehicle to burn oil, emit blue smoke, and increase fuel consumption. It will accelerate the wear of the cylinder and piston, thereby reducing the vehicle's service life. (2) When adding lubricating oil, it is advisable to keep it slightly below the mark on the oil dipstick. 2. Oil viscosity; Viscosity refers to the fluidity of the oil. The oil grade indicates its viscosity specification. For example, in "15W-40/5W-40," "W" stands for Winter. The smaller the number before it, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, indicating a lower usable environmental temperature and better protection for the engine during cold starts. For instance, 5W represents resistance to external low temperatures of -30°C, while 20W is resistant to -15°C.

What is the difference between a 6-seater and a 7-seater car?

7-seater and 6-seater cars do not differ much in terms of space performance; it is merely a matter of the number of seats. Additionally, it is rare for a family to have 7 members traveling together—6 members are already considered a very uncommon travel size. Therefore, when purchasing a car, there is no need to insist on buying a model with an excessively large interior space. The differences between 6-seaters and 7-seaters are as follows: 1. Different insurance premiums: Insurance companies generally classify small passenger vehicles into categories such as 6-seaters and below, and 6-10 seaters. Different vehicle categories are subject to different rate standards. Thus, for insurance purposes, 5-seaters and 6-seaters/7-seaters fall into two different categories, using different base rates. The difference between 6-seaters and 7-seaters lies only in whether one more or one less seat insurance is purchased. 2. Differences in annual inspections: According to annual inspection regulations, 6-seater cars (and below) enjoy exemption from inspection for the first 6 years, while 7-seater cars with more than 6 seats do not qualify for this exemption and must undergo inspections on time—once every two years within the first 6 years. After 6 years, all vehicle types are subject to annual inspections. Of course, not all 5-seater and 6-seater cars can enjoy the 6-year exemption; the vehicle must not have been involved in any personal injury accidents in the previous year. The so-called exemption mainly refers to exemption from the inspection line, but the biennial review is still required. One must bring a valid compulsory insurance policy and the original vehicle license to the vehicle management department to complete the annual inspection. Therefore, in terms of annual inspection matters, only 5-seater and 6-seater cars within 6 years of age that have not been involved in personal injury accidents can be exempted from on-site inspections; in all other cases, the requirements are the same.

How to Charge the ETC Battery?

Installing ETC does not require charging as it uses a built-in power source. The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but there is no need to charge the battery during normal use because there is a solar panel on the back of the battery that can charge itself. During installation, it is necessary to avoid the black areas on the windshield. The built-in power source of ETC typically has a lifespan of 3-5 years. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which means an electronic toll system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and driving license. If the application is not made by the owner, a valid ID card of the agent is also required. The photocopy of the driving license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is needed. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under a personal name. How ETC works: The onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. Using computer networking technology, it settles the toll with the bank in the background, allowing the vehicle to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay the toll. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by reducing noise and exhaust emissions as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping; Cost-saving: Reduces expenses by minimizing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, thereby decreasing wear and fuel consumption. Users can also enjoy toll discounts; Improved efficiency: The ETC lane can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

How to turn on the Teana fog lights?

The Teana fog light switch is located on the light control lever on the left side of the steering wheel. Turn it to activate the fog lights. The steps for removing the fog lights are as follows: 1. Take out a flat-head screwdriver and use it to pry from the back of the fog light grille first, releasing the clips inside. This will create a larger gap on the front side. Then, use the flat-head screwdriver to gradually pry the clips securing the grille to the front bumper. Once all clips are released, the fog light grille can be removed. Be careful to pry slowly and gently to avoid breaking the plastic clips. 2. You will see the fog light fixed to the front bumper. Upon observation, you'll notice that the fog light is secured by two screws. Take out a T25 Torx screwdriver and use it to remove these two screws. Keep the removed screws safely for reinstallation. 3. After removing the screws, the two claws of the fog light are still inserted into the clip holes on the front bumper. Hold the side where the screws were removed and gently pull upwards to detach the fog light.

Where is the engine number located?

The engine number is generally found on the outer surface of the engine block, or on the vehicle's nameplate or the nameplate inside the engine compartment. The simplest and most direct method is to check the vehicle's administrative green book or the vehicle registration certificate. The engine number, like a person's ID number, represents each vehicle and contains very important information about the car. The engine model is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, corporate or industry practices, and the attributes of the engine. It is used to indicate information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, characteristics, technology, purpose, and production batch of the engine, including fuel type, number of cylinders, displacement, and static braking power, among others. Engines installed in passenger cars or multi-purpose passenger vehicles are all marked with the professional manufacturer, model, and production number as required by regulations. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's product line, and engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine. Each engine can only have one engine number, and the number for each engine is unique. Composition of the vehicle engine number: Prefix: Includes product series code, generation symbol, and regional or corporate code. Manufacturers can choose the corresponding letters as needed, but they must be approved and filed by the industry standard standardization unit. Middle section: Consists of the cylinder count symbol, cylinder arrangement symbol, stroke symbol, and cylinder diameter symbol. Suffix: Composed of structural feature symbols and usage feature symbols. Tail: Distinguishing symbol. When differentiation is needed within the same product series due to improvements or other reasons, the manufacturer selects an appropriate symbol for representation. The suffix and tail can be separated by a hyphen (-).

How to Detect Engine Misfire in a Car?

When the car exhibits noticeable body vibration at idle, weak acceleration with body vibration at low RPM, reduced vibration at high RPM, or lower temperature on the spark plug insulator ceramic when touched by hand, it indicates engine misfire. The relevant details are as follows: 1. At idle, the body vibration is obvious. Observe the exhaust pipe outlet—the exhaust gas flow shows clear intermittency, accompanied by severe exhaust pipe shaking and distinct "popping" or thumping sounds. 2. At low RPM (around 2000), the body vibrates noticeably with weak acceleration, while the vibration diminishes at higher RPM. This phenomenon is often related to the ignition coil. Open the engine hood and observe the running engine: if it exhibits significant abnormal shaking (beyond normal operational vibration with large amplitude), you can begin checking for misfire. 3. After turning off the engine, touch the insulator ceramic of each spark plug by hand (cylinder 1 in a 4-cylinder engine is harder to reach). If a cylinder's temperature is lower, it indicates abnormal operation. You can also use a screwdriver to short-circuit the spark plug or disconnect the cylinder wire for a cut-off test. If the engine operation shows no significant change after disconnection, it confirms the cylinder is not working. A car missing one or two cylinders can still start.
