Household cars use 15w50 engine oil. In 15w50, 15 represents the minimum applicable temperature of the oil at -20 degrees Celsius, W stands for Winter, and 50 indicates the high-temperature viscosity of the oil, with a kinematic viscosity of 19cst when the engine is at 100 degrees Celsius. This type of oil is suitable for both winter and summer use, and its quality is also guaranteed. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, dampen shocks, and resist wear in the engine. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting certain new properties.

Should You Depress the Clutch When Shifting to Neutral?

Shifting to neutral requires depressing the clutch pedal. The clutch pedal is essentially needed every time you shift gears or start the vehicle. When downshifting, the push rod disengages from the two spring-loaded gears. Depressing the clutch merely cuts off the power from the engine to the main shaft. Below is additional information about the clutch: 1. Manual Transmission: All forward gears in a manual transmission are equipped with synchronizers. When shifting gears with the clutch depressed, the rotating drive gear engages with a driven gear of a larger or smaller gear ratio, achieving acceleration or deceleration effects at the same rotational speed. 2. The clutch's function is to cut off the power from the drive gear. However, during vehicle movement, the driven gear still rotates, requiring the synchronizer to coordinate the engagement between the drive and driven gears. Once the gear shift is complete and the gears are engaged, releasing the clutch restores power and rotational speed to the drive gear.

What should the non-liable party pay attention to when assessing damages at a 4S shop?

Precautions for vehicle damage assessment: 1. First precaution: Determine the repair method for the damaged parts before vehicle repair. Generally, insurance companies prefer repairing damaged parts if they can be restored to normal functionality. Only if the damaged parts cannot be repaired should they be replaced. 2. Second precaution: Determine the amount of vehicle repair costs. Disputes often arise over the cost of vehicle repairs. Insurance companies usually assess repair costs based on the qualification level of the repair facility. For replacement parts, they quote prices according to the regional market price of the parts. However, some repair shops may charge higher prices for parts due to procurement channels or other reasons, or higher labor costs. In such cases, it is advisable to negotiate the total repair cost in the presence of the insurance company's damage assessor and the repair shop's reception staff.

Does Insurance Cover Flood Damage to Cars During Typhoons?

Insurance does cover flood damage to cars during typhoons. Here are the details of auto insurance coverage: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance: This is mandatory for all vehicle owners by law. It provides basic claim coverage when traffic accidents occur. In case of an accident, this insurance helps cover economic compensation that may be difficult for the owner to pay. The compensation amount depends on the owner's liability proportion in the accident and whether it caused casualties. 2. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This covers damage to the insured vehicle caused by accidents while being driven by the policyholder or authorized drivers, with reasonable compensation provided by the insurance company. Premiums are largely determined by the vehicle's purchase price and seating capacity. 3. Third-Party Liability Insurance: This covers compensation for personal injury or direct property damage to third parties (excluding the driver and passengers of the insured vehicle) caused during accidents, as stipulated by the insurance company.

How long can you drive with 20% oil left?

With 20% oil life remaining, you can still drive at least 2,000 kilometers. The oil life indicator is an estimate, not an actual measurement. Functions of engine oil: 1. Lubrication and friction reduction: There is rapid relative sliding between pistons and cylinders, as well as between main shafts and bearing bushes. To prevent excessive wear of components, an oil film needs to be established between these sliding surfaces. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear. 2. Cooling: Engine oil carries heat back to the oil pan and dissipates it into the air, assisting the radiator in cooling the engine. 3. Cleaning: High-quality engine oil can circulate carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine components back to the oil pan. Through the flow of lubricating oil, it flushes away contaminants generated on the working surfaces of parts.

Why is there no 93-octane gasoline now?

93-octane gasoline has been replaced by 92-octane gasoline. Here is the relevant information: 1. Regulations: Starting from 2013, some cities in China began implementing the fifth-stage national standard for vehicle gasoline, and it was fully implemented nationwide starting in 2017. The National IV 90#, 93#, and 97# gasoline grades were all adjusted to National V 89#, 92#, and 95#, with the addition of 98# gasoline. 2. Fuel composition: After the change to the new grades, the sulfur, olefin, and manganese content in the fuel were significantly reduced. This will effectively reduce vehicle exhaust emissions, prevent smog, and improve air quality. At the same time, it can also effectively improve the combustion performance of the fuel and extend the service life of the engine.

What Are the Scrapping Standards for Flood-Damaged Vehicles?

When a vehicle cannot meet the national safety technical standards for in-use vehicles even after repair and adjustment, it must be scrapped. The following is relevant information about flood-damaged vehicles: 1. Introduction: A flood-damaged vehicle refers to one that has been submerged in water, typically involving the engine and transmission being soaked, with the water level exceeding the wheels and body seats, and the vehicle's underbody components being in prolonged contact with water. 2. Hazards of Flood-Damaged Vehicles: The dangers of water-damaged vehicles are significant. If a vehicle is submerged, it can easily lead to rusting of body components, shortening its service life and reducing safety performance. For example, water damage can cause corrosion and rusting of the vehicle's wiring, leading to sudden stalling or spontaneous combustion due to short circuits while driving, with potentially unimaginable consequences.
