Michelin tires belong to a French brand. The functions of tires include the following 3 points: 1. Support the entire weight of the vehicle: bear the load of the car and transmit forces and moments in other directions; 2. Transmit traction and braking torque: ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the car's power performance, braking performance, and passability, as well as work with the car suspension to mitigate the impact during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations; 3. Prevent severe vibrations and early damage to car components: adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reduce driving noise, ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy-saving economy.

How Many Liters of Engine Oil Does a Focus 1.8 Require?

The Focus 1.8 requires approximately 4.5L of engine oil. After adding the oil, you can check the oil dipstick scale for the exact level. Since this engine is turbocharged, it necessitates the use of fully synthetic oil. Turbochargers operate under high temperatures and high rotational speeds, demanding superior lubrication from the oil. Relevant information is as follows: The Focus 1.8 is a compact car with body dimensions of 4480mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1500mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2640mm. It is equipped with either a 1.5L EcoBoost or a 1.5L TiVCT engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. All models meet the China VI emission standards.

Should the Camshaft Pulley of the 474 Engine Align with E or i?

The camshaft pulley of the 474 engine aligns with E. Below is relevant information about the camshaft of the 474 engine: 1. There are two grooves inside the pulley, which fit onto a small protruding tab on the camshaft. 2. In factory settings, the E point on the inner diameter of the camshaft pulley is locked onto the camshaft. Here is an introduction to the function of the engine: 1. An engine is a machine capable of converting one form of energy into another. 2. Typically, it converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. Below is an introduction to the components of an engine: An engine consists of the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism, valve train, fuel supply system, cooling system, lubrication system, ignition system, and starting system. 2. Engines are categorized into piston engines, ramjet engines, rocket engines, and turbine engines.

How to Pair Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors?

The pairing method for the tire pressure monitor is as follows: 1. Press and hold the "middle button" on the display to enter the learning mode. 2. Press the "left button" and install the new sensor on the left front wheel. When you hear a beep, the learning is successful. 3. Repeat the same operation to learn the codes for all four sensors. Then, press the "middle button" twice to return to the display's main page. Below is an introduction to the principles of the tire pressure monitor: 1. The tire pressure monitoring system mainly includes two types: "direct tire pressure monitoring system" and "indirect tire pressure monitoring system." 2. The direct tire pressure monitoring device uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. 3. The system uses a wireless transmitter to send pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data for each tire.

How to Calculate Vehicle Purchase Tax?

Vehicle purchase tax calculation formula: Purchase tax = Total vehicle price ÷ (1 + 13%) × 10%. Additional information: 1. Vehicle purchase tax: Vehicle purchase tax is a tax levied on units and individuals purchasing specified vehicles within China, which evolved from the vehicle purchase surcharge. The purchase tax is a tax collected by tax authorities on the acquisition of relevant properties and assets within the scope of the purchase tax system. 2. Calculation basis: The tax basis for vehicle purchase tax is calculated using the ad valorem rate method with tax-exclusive pricing, making the taxable vehicle's price (i.e., the tax calculation price) the basis for vehicle purchase tax. However, due to different sources of taxable vehicles, the composition of the tax calculation price varies, resulting in different structures for the vehicle purchase tax basis.

Why Does the Volvo S90 Engine Shake When Cold?

Volvo S90 engine shaking when cold can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Low ignition energy at low engine temperatures. When the engine temperature is insufficient, both fuel and lubricant temperatures are low, requiring more fuel injection during cold starts to meet power demands. Larger spark plug gaps result in weaker ignition energy. Poor fuel atomization at low temperatures demands higher ignition energy. Over time, spark plug gaps tend to widen, reducing ignition energy and affecting engine performance, leading to shaking. Additionally, aging ignition coils, high-voltage wires, or electrical leaks can also decrease ignition energy. 2. Incorrect engine air-fuel mixture ratio. Improper fuel-air mixture occurs in both open-loop and closed-loop control systems. In closed-loop systems, oxygen sensors require a minimum operating temperature of 370°C. If the exhaust pipe temperature doesn't reach this level upon startup, the oxygen sensor remains inactive. This causes the ECU to miscalculate, leading to errors in fuel-air mixture and ignition timing control, reducing power output and causing shaking. 3. Carbon buildup on engine valves and intake ports. Carbon deposits can absorb fuel (similar to soil absorbing water from a riverbank), causing ECU miscalculations. For instance, if the ECU injects 100 units of fuel-air mixture but only 90 units reach the cylinder (with 10 absorbed by carbon deposits), even complete combustion of the remaining 90 units won't provide sufficient power, inevitably resulting in shaking. 4. Varying cylinder conditions. After prolonged use, clearance between cylinder liners and pistons becomes uneven—some larger, some smaller. During cold starts without proper oil lubrication, cylinders with larger clearances may leak high-temperature gases, reducing power output.
