Lexus UX engine oil recommendations: 1. Use full-synthetic oils from major brands such as Mobil 1, Shell Helix Ultra, Castrol Edge, or Total Quartz 9000. The recommended viscosity is 5W-30. 2. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, has a density of approximately 0.91kgX10 cubic meters. It serves multiple functions including lubrication, friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing, rust prevention, and shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'lifeblood' of a vehicle. Additional information about Lexus UX: 1. The exterior design of Lexus UX can be summarized with these keywords: avant-garde, distinctive, and sporty. The front features the brand's signature spindle grille paired with sharp headlights, creating a futuristic look. The distinctive 'L-shaped' daytime running lights enhance visibility and brand recognition. The side profile showcases a sleek body with well-proportioned dimensions, while the sharp rising waistline adds a muscular character. 2. The F Sport variant comes with 18-inch alloy wheels and offers optional adaptive suspension. The rear features contemporary full-width LED taillights whose design elements extend forward along the body, creating a cohesive visual effect. These taillights incorporate 120 LEDs that taper towards the center, with the narrowest section measuring just 3mm thick. The vehicle dimensions are 4495mm (length) x 1840mm (width) x 1520mm (height).

I've been driving the Lexus UX for almost three years. The hybrid system has high requirements for engine oil, so it's best to use full synthetic oil. The recommended viscosity is 0W-20 or 5W-30, depending on your climate—use 0W-20 for cold regions as it flows faster and provides better cold-start protection; use 5W-30 for hot regions as it offers more stability. Remember to choose brands with API SP or ILSAC GF-6 certification, such as Shell Helix or Mobil 1. These oils have excellent flow properties, keeping the engine quiet and fuel-efficient while extending the hybrid vehicle's lifespan. Avoid cheap mineral oils—the UX is a premium car. The oil change interval is generally around 10,000 kilometers. Stick to the manual and maintain regular servicing to ensure long-term performance.

As a new car owner who just got a UX, I take engine oil seriously—it's like the lifeblood of the car, so never choose blindly. The manual recommends 0W-20 synthetic oil as the best choice, as it better suits the frequent start-stop cycles of hybrids while being energy-efficient and eco-friendly. I've used Lexus genuine oil or Castrol Edge brand, which maintains stable viscosity and keeps the engine running much smoother. Always go to a professional shop for oil changes—don't cut corners, or the engine might fail, costing a fortune to repair. Make it a habit to check the oil quality during every maintenance to ensure proper lubrication, so you can drive with peace of mind.

I'm more pragmatic, choosing the right engine oil can save a lot of money. UX recommends full synthetic oils like 0W-20. Although the initial purchase is more expensive, it saves fuel and extends the replacement interval, allowing you to change it every 15,000 kilometers without issues. For brands, choose synthetic series from Chevron or Valvoline, as long as they meet API standards. They have strong adaptability for winter and summer; don't use the wrong viscosity. Use 0W-20 for quick lubrication in cold climates and 5W-30 for high-temperature resistance in hot climates. Saving money isn't being stingy—investing in good oil protects the engine, cuts maintenance costs in half in the long run, and reduces emissions.

When Can You Schedule Subject Four After Passing Subject Three?

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the timing varies depending on the type of license. For example, for a Class C license: After passing the Subject Three exam, you can take Subject Four on the same afternoon, within 9 days without an appointment, or schedule it after 10 days. Same Afternoon Direct Exam: Since Subject Four is the theoretical part of Subject Three, most cities schedule both Subject Three and Subject Four together when making an appointment. Therefore, on the same afternoon after passing Subject Three, you can directly go to the Subject Four exam site to take the test. No Appointment Within 9 Days: With the upgrade of driving test services, some cities have introduced a new model allowing no-appointment exams within 9 days. Candidates who pass Subject Three can take Subject Four within 9 days by presenting their ID at the exam site. Exam staff will group candidates into no-appointment and appointment groups for easier management. Scheduling After 10 Days: The success of scheduling Subject Four depends on the current number of candidates, student priority, and temporary arrangements at the test center. Candidates closer to their 3-year validity period have higher priority and are more likely to secure an appointment. Unexpected events (e.g., pandemics) may also affect scheduling success. Subject Four, also known as the theoretical driving test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It covers safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving knowledge in adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling (e.g., tire blowouts), and post-accident procedures. Subject Four Exam Notes: Exam Duration: 45 minutes. Number of Questions: 50 questions, each worth 2 points, proportionally selected from the Subject Four question bank based on the license type. Question Types: Single-choice (including true/false), multiple-choice, with questions presented as animations, images, scenario recognition, or text descriptions. Retake Notes: Failing Subject Four only requires retaking Subject Four, arranged by the driving school. There are no limits on retakes, and no fees are charged for retakes. Subject Four Exam Tips: Focus on error-prone areas and understand the reasons for mistakes. Don’t just memorize correct answers—review regulations, textbooks, or references to grasp the underlying concepts. Categorize and summarize questions. Compare similar questions in the bank to avoid confusion. For example, group traffic signs like "Pedestrian," "Crosswalk," and "Caution: Pedestrians" for clearer understanding. Use memorization techniques. Many questions involve numbers—organize them for easier recall. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One (traffic laws and regulations), Subject Two (field driving skills), and Subject Three (road driving skills and safe driving knowledge). Subject Four is the colloquial term for the safe driving theory test under Subject Three, not a separate subject. The safe driving theory test is conducted after Subject Three.
