Manual transmission reverse gear position is the R gear. On the shift lever of manual transmission cars, there are markings. The reverse gear in automatic transmission cars is also the R gear. After shifting into R gear, the reverse gear will engage, allowing the car to move backward. Most manual transmission cars do not have a synchronizer for the reverse gear. The correct method to start a manual transmission car is: 1. Fully depress the clutch; 2. Shift into 1st gear; 3. Turn on the left turn signal; 4. Honk the horn as a reminder; 5. Release the handbrake; 6. Gently lift the clutch with the left foot; 7. The vehicle starts moving, keep the clutch steady with the left foot, avoid pressing down or lifting to prevent stalling; 8. After holding steady for 3 seconds, slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator with the right foot, then slowly release the accelerator, fully depress the clutch to shift into 2nd gear, and repeat this process to shift into 3rd gear, completing a smooth start.

Advantages of Engine Oil: 5W-30 has relatively better fluidity, more effectively reducing fuel consumption issues and allowing the engine to dissipate heat faster and more efficiently. Under high-temperature conditions, 5W-40 offers better oil stability. 2. Other Factors: The viscosity (density) of engine oil affects fuel economy and operability in cold weather (engine starting and oil flow capability). Lower viscosity engine oil can make the engine more fuel-efficient and perform better in cold weather; higher viscosity engine oil is more suitable for extremely hot weather, providing satisfactory lubrication.

Should the car be turned off when refueling?

When refueling a car, it is necessary to turn off the engine to prevent the risk of ignition or explosion. Gasoline is a flammable substance with a certain degree of volatility. 1. Characteristics of gasoline: The degree of evaporation of gasoline in the carburetor has a significant impact on the engine's fuel consumption, startup, and acceleration. Gasoline possesses properties such as volatility, anti-knock performance, safety, and corrosiveness. The higher the octane number of gasoline, the better its anti-knock performance. Under natural conditions, gasoline can remain stable for a long time, but during transportation, it can easily corrode storage tanks, carburetors, cylinders, and other equipment. Currently, the gasoline used in China is produced and sold according to its grade. 2. Function of gasoline: Gasoline is primarily used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines and is the most widely used light petroleum product in the world.
