It is normal for fuel consumption to increase after changing to Castrol engine oil. The new oil is more viscous in its initial state, but as it is used, the oil will become thinner, reducing the resistance to the internal components of the engine, which will naturally lower fuel consumption. Try to use the air conditioning less: Especially during traffic jams or when parked, avoid keeping the air conditioning on continuously. Turn off the air conditioning completely when not in use: When the air conditioning is not needed, turn it off completely. This not only reduces energy consumption but also minimizes wear and tear on the air conditioning system. Set the air conditioning to the highest level after starting the vehicle: After starting the vehicle, set the air conditioning to the highest level. Once you feel it has reached sufficient cooling, turn it off. This allows the air conditioning to skip the step of mixing with warm air, achieving maximum cooling efficiency while also saving fuel to some extent.

What does the 'trip' on the Volkswagen car dashboard mean?

The 'trip' on the Volkswagen car display refers to the trip mileage, measured in kilometers (KM). Here is more information about trip mileage: 1. Trip mileage is a driving parameter that can accurately calculate fuel consumption data and record the total kilometers traveled. 2. Trip mileage can calculate the amount of fuel used during driving and can also be used to measure fuel consumption at different speeds. 3. The trip mileage can be reset or calculated using the lever on the left side of the steering wheel. 4. The remaining distance that can be traveled with the current fuel can be calculated based on the trip mileage data.

What Causes Low Tire Pressure in One Tire?

A tire with low pressure may be due to tire damage or aging. The details are as follows: Tire Damage: When a car tire is damaged, it will inevitably lead to air leakage, resulting in low tire pressure over time. If a tire is damaged, it must be repaired or replaced promptly to prevent safety hazards. Tire Aging: There are many reasons for slow air leakage in car tires, including natural aging of the tire or prolonged parking. When a car is parked for an extended period, it should be placed on a flat and hard surface to prevent the tire from deforming due to long-term compression.

How to Repair Damaged Car Wheels?

Here are the steps to repair scratched car wheels: 1. Clean the wheel to easily inspect all scratches, scratch depth, and whether the wheel is broken. If the wheel surface has cracks, deformation, or is completely broken, it cannot be repaired. Only wheels without breaks or deformation can be repaired; 2. After cleaning, use oil-removing wax paper to wipe the wheel clean; 3. After smoothing the putty, repaint the wheel. Spray the wheel paint onto the applied putty, gently spraying back and forth a few times to complete the entire wheel scratch repair process; 4. The scratched areas of the wheel are rough, so use fine sandpaper to smooth them out.

How to Turn on the High Beam on the New Passat?

The high beam on the new Passat is activated by turning the rotary switch all the way to the right to turn on the low beam headlights, then pulling the lever on the left side of the steering wheel (the turn signal lever) backward to engage the high beam. This lever can be moved forward, backward, up, and down. Moving it up or down activates the left or right turn signals, pushing it forward flashes the headlights, and pulling it backward turns on the high beam. More details are as follows: 1. The intensity of the light is adjusted based on the distance of the filament. The high beam focuses light parallel, emitting a concentrated and bright beam that can illuminate distant and high objects. The low beam, focused beyond its focal point (between 1x and 2x the focal distance), emits a divergent light that illuminates a wider area at close range. The difference between high and low beams: both are used for nighttime lighting, but the high beam has a higher angle and longer range, while the low beam has a lower angle and shorter range. 2. It is generally advisable not to use the high beam when driving in the city, as urban areas usually have good lighting conditions. The high beam's high angle can easily dazzle oncoming drivers and pedestrians, impairing their vision and creating unsafe conditions, as well as being considered impolite driving behavior. The high beam can be used on highways or in rural areas without streetlights to expand the field of vision. However, when encountering oncoming traffic, it is recommended to switch to the low beam for safety and courtesy.

Why Does the Car Shake When the Air Conditioner is On?

Here are the reasons why a car shakes when the air conditioner is on: 1. Carbon deposits on the spark plugs; 2. Carbon deposits on the intake valves; 3. Poor fuel quality. Areas to check when the car shakes with the air conditioner on: 1. Check the high and low pressure of the air conditioner, as excessive pressure can cause a sudden increase in engine load; 2. Check the engagement of the air conditioner's electromagnetic clutch; 3. Check if the air conditioner radiator is clogged with dirt; 4. Check if there is too much refrigerant. Additional solutions for car shaking with the air conditioner on: 1. Clean or replace the spark plugs to remove carbon deposits; 2. Clean the carbon deposits on the intake valves; 3. Use higher quality fuel.

Can Engine Oil Be Ignited by Fire?

Engine oil can be ignited if there is a carrier with an open flame, as it inherently possesses flammable properties. The detailed explanation is as follows: General properties of engine oil: Typically, engine oil does not spontaneously combust, but it is flammable by nature. Therefore, if there is a carrier with an open flame, it can catch fire. For safety reasons, it is best to avoid exposing engine oil to open flames. Note the flash point of engine oil: The higher the flash point of engine oil, the lower its volatility, meaning it is less likely to ignite even at higher temperatures. If the flash point is too low, it can pose a potential hazard, so this aspect should be taken seriously.
