Which direction is the bus heading?

It's heading to the left. Because you can't see the door where passengers board. Since this side has no door, and the bus door is on the right side of the bus (meaning the opposite side is the left side of the bus), the bus is heading left. It's moving to the left. Taking the forward direction as the front, passenger bus doors are generally located on the right side of the vehicle. Is this vehicle left-hand drive or right-hand drive? If it's left-hand drive (driver on the left), then it's heading left; if right-hand drive, then it's heading right. If this were Shanghai, vehicles should be driving on the right side, with doors also opening on the right side. Since this image shows no door on the vehicle, it must be heading left. The driver's position on the left makes it easier to judge and control the distance between the vehicle and oncoming traffic from the left. In terms of ergonomics, most people are right-handed. To ensure drivers can easily reach and operate gear shifts and brakes for safety and reliability, designers naturally placed the driver's seat on the right side of the vehicle. On the other hand, when cars first appeared, most car owners were wealthy individuals who employed drivers. Having the driver's seat on the right made it convenient for the driver to exit and open the door for the owner, as well as to frequently get out and remove road obstacles to prevent punctures to the pneumatic tires. Thus, early vehicles naturally adopted a right-hand drive and right-hand traffic configuration.

I've been pondering the issue of bus orientation lately, which might stem from that classic riddle. If a bus in a picture appears to be moving to the right but its door is on the unseen side, it suggests the bus is traveling on a road where the driver's side is opposite, such as in the UK where the steering wheel is on the right and the door is also on the right—meaning the bus would need to be moving left for the door to be visible. When the door isn't visible, the bus might indeed be moving to the right. This relates to our driving direction: vehicle design accounts for the driver's position and door alignment to facilitate passenger boarding and alighting. Uncertainty about direction can easily lead to accidents, such as wrong-way driving or collisions in blind spots. I recommend that drivers practice observing tire tracks or using navigation systems to confirm direction. Regular maintenance checks on the steering linkage and tire alignment can prevent deviation issues, ensuring safe and worry-free driving.

As a driver who frequently takes long-distance trips, the direction of buses is quite crucial. For example, in right-hand drive countries, buses drive on the right side of the road so that their doors are next to the curb. Driving to the left might lead to dangerous wrong-way situations. When driving my own car, I also pay attention to lane rules, as incorrect direction choices like improper turns can cause rear-end collisions or getting stuck in lanes. In fact, vehicle direction consistency affects fuel consumption and tire lifespan—large bus wheels often require regular alignment adjustments. In short, to determine which side a bus is driving on, observe the door position as a reference, and always coordinate with traffic signals to ensure smooth driving and avoid congestion.

After years of repairing vehicles, I've found that bus direction depends on wheel alignment. When the wheels are straight, the chassis runs parallel to the road, but if the angles are off, the direction goes wrong—similar to steering system failures in cars. I've helped many vehicle owners diagnose this issue; incorrect toe-in or camber angles can cause drifting and accelerated wear. Buses also require regular four-wheel alignment checks to ensure straight-line stability and correct directional control.

Is Higher or Lower Engine Oil Viscosity Better?

Engine oil viscosity should primarily be chosen based on what suits the vehicle. The best viscosity is the one that fits the vehicle's requirements. Below is information about engine oil: 1. When selecting engine oil, vehicle owners must understand the temperature environment in which the vehicle operates. They should then purchase oil according to the grade and viscosity requirements specified in the vehicle's manual. Carefully check the grade and viscosity markings on the oil's packaging, ensuring the oil meets the minimum grade and above. For example, in Sichuan, where temperatures vary throughout the year, multi-grade viscosity oil like SAE 15W-40 is typically suitable. In Chongqing, where summers are hotter, it's better to choose oil with a viscosity of 50. 2. The first few thousand kilometers of a new car are called the break-in period. During this time, minor protrusions on parts are worn down, allowing moving parts to fit together more tightly and operate more smoothly. Choosing the right oil during this period is crucial. Generally, oils with viscosity grades of 15W/40 or 40 are recommended for break-in. New cars or engines after major repairs have uneven or overly tight clearances between parts, which need adjustment during the break-in period. Using oil with higher viscosity can make it difficult to form a lubricating film on poorly fitted friction surfaces, leading to dry friction, excessive wear, and even mechanical failures like bearing seizure or crankshaft damage. Lower viscosity oils, due to better fluidity, provide superior cleaning and cooling effects. 3. If the vehicle is primarily used in the city where frequent traffic jams lead to stop-and-go driving, it's considered severe driving conditions, and it's advisable to shorten the oil change interval.

What is the recommended engine oil model for Corolla?

Official recommended engine oil models are 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, and 10W-30. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. The number before "W" represents the flow viscosity under low-temperature conditions. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil. The number after "W" indicates the viscosity of the oil at 100°C, with higher numbers indicating higher viscosity. Based on the oil grade properties, for example, 0W can be used in winter in regions like Northeast China, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang. In southern areas like Guangdong and Hainan, there is no special requirement for 0W, and 15W or 20W can be chosen. Numbers like 20, 30, and 40 are selected based on engine performance. Generally, 40 is chosen, while 30 can be used for some engines to prevent oil burning. For Corolla, 20 or 30 is sufficient. 2. If 10W-30 or higher viscosity engine oil is used in cold weather, the engine may be difficult to start. Therefore, it is recommended to use 0W-20, 5W-20, or 5W-30 engine oil. Using 0W-20 oil can maximize fuel savings.
