Hyundai ix35 can choose to use the original SM grade 5W-20 engine oil. The following are the characteristics of engine oil: 1. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant. It can lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal and prevent leakage, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. 2. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance. 3. If high-quality engine oil is not used, the engine may not reach its rated power. Fuel consumption will be higher than the standard. Parts of the fuel system may be damaged prematurely, leading to damage to other components.

As a young car enthusiast who takes car maintenance seriously, I've driven the Hyundai ix35 several times and feel that its oil selection is quite important. Basically, the owner's manual recommends either 5W-20 or 5W-30 full synthetic oil, depending on your car's year and engine model—for example, post-2015 models mostly use 5W-20. Why this choice? Because it better handles cold starts and high temperatures, protecting engine components and reducing wear. I usually suggest using premium brands like Shell or Mobil synthetic oils—they’re pricier but offer better longevity, saving you from frequent oil changes. Don’t forget to check that the oil meets API SN or newer standards to prevent sludge buildup. If you frequently drive long distances, higher-viscosity oil provides more stability, but standard viscosity is sufficient for city driving. Regularly checking oil levels every 5,000–8,000 km helps prevent issues—don’t wait until the oil light comes on, as that can damage engine lifespan.

How many liters of antifreeze should be added to a car at one time?

A car typically requires about 4 liters of antifreeze per refill. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and causing damage to the radiator or engine cylinder block/head during cold winter parking. How to choose antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are its freezing point and boiling point. Market options include -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, and -40°C freezing points. Generally, select an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than your region's minimum temperature. Can different antifreeze brands be mixed? Always use the same brand of antifreeze. Different brands may have varying production formulas, and mixing them could cause chemical reactions between additives, rendering them ineffective. Antifreeze replacement cycle: For vehicles with extended operation periods (e.g., taxis), high-quality antifreeze should be replaced annually. Vehicles with shorter operation periods can be replaced every two years or 30,000 kilometers. To prevent excessive foaming that reduces heat exchange efficiency, ensure the product is within its validity period when adding. Long-life antifreeze can last up to three years. If suspended particles, sediment, discoloration or deterioration appear in the antifreeze, replace it immediately and clean the system.

How to Adjust Rearview Mirror Position?

When adjusting the rearview mirror, pay attention to positioning the door handle at the intersection of the "midpoint vertically and the one-third line towards the car side." Additionally, adjustment methods vary across different car models, so ensure clear visibility of the vehicle's spacing and trajectory. Below are detailed instructions: 1. Left-side rearview mirror adjustment: For vertical positioning, the ground should occupy the center of the mirror surface. For horizontal positioning, aim to have the car body occupy 1/4 of the mirror while ensuring visibility of the lowest point where the rear wheel contacts the ground. 2. Right-side rearview mirror adjustment: Since the driver's seat is on the left, it's harder to monitor the right side of the vehicle. Therefore, for vertical positioning, the ground should occupy 2/3 of the mirror surface, with visibility of the wheel arch (the curved, protruding part above the wheel resembling an eyebrow). Horizontally, adjust so the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror. 3. Central rearview mirror adjustment: Adjust the left/right position so the mirror's left edge aligns with your right ear in the reflection. Normally, you shouldn't see yourself in the central mirror. For vertical positioning, place the distant horizon at the mirror's center.

Does Engine Ticking Noise Require Overhaul?

Engine ticking noises generally do not require major overhauls. Normal phenomena: 1. Cold start noise: Many car owners hear ticking sounds from the engine compartment during cold starts. This ticking noise occurs because the oil pump hasn't fully established oil pressure during cold start, resulting in insufficient lubrication of components. Normally, this ticking noise disappears after the engine runs for a while. 2. Charcoal canister purge valve operation noise: The charcoal canister purge valve opens after engine start, allowing adsorbed gasoline vapors to enter the combustion chamber. This reduces emissions and fuel consumption. This component may produce ticking sounds during operation. Cases requiring part replacement: 1. Engine mount deterioration or loosening: Engine mounts are rubber blocks between the engine and frame that reduce vibration and secure the engine. When these mounts deteriorate or loosen, the engine may shake and produce ticking noises. Replacing the mounts solves this issue. 2. Overly rich fuel mixture: Symptoms include difficult acceleration after start, uneven engine operation, black exhaust smoke, ticking sounds, occasional backfires, reduced power and increased fuel consumption. This is often related to carbon buildup or clogged filters, usually not requiring major repairs. Conclusion: Generally, engine ticking noises rarely lead to major overhauls. Identifying the root cause of the noise can effectively resolve the issue.

How to Remove the ETC from the Car?

The ETC device on the car cannot be removed because there is an anti-tamper switch button on the back of the ETC device. After installation, this anti-tamper button presses against the windshield. If the device is removed, this button will automatically pop out, and the ETC service will be suspended. You will need to visit the relevant service center to reapply for positioning, installation, and activation before it can be used again. Precautions for Using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When the vehicle in front stops, to prevent the ETC device of the front vehicle from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, you should maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the front vehicle to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the front vehicle. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also result in a failed deduction. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, will cause the electronic tag to become invalid. You can take it to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for inspection. If the loosening or detachment is not due to human factors, it only needs to be reactivated.

Is it necessary to replace the valve stem when changing tires for a vehicle?

It is necessary to replace the valve stem when changing tires for a vehicle. This is because the valve stem is a rubber product and is subject to aging over time. Therefore, it is advisable to replace the valve stem when changing tires. Introduction to valve stems: A valve stem is an independent valve device that opens to allow air to enter the space of a tubeless tire or inner tube, then automatically closes and seals to maintain air pressure, preventing air from escaping the tire or inner tube. Except for solid tires, all other tires or inner tubes that require inflation must use this device. Types of valve stems: Based on material, valve stems can be categorized into rubber valve stems and metal valve stems. The former is used for passenger car tire inner tubes, while the latter is mainly used for heavy-duty tire inner tubes. Rubber valve stems inevitably suffer from aging issues, where the valve body gradually cracks, deforms, and loses elasticity. When the vehicle is in motion, the rubber valve stem also swings back and forth due to centrifugal force, accelerating the aging process. To mitigate the aging problem of valve stems, metal valve stems have been introduced in the market, with steel valve stems being one of them. Although they are significantly more expensive than rubber valve stems, their service life is two to three times longer.

What causes the sound of water entering the engine?

If the coolant is insufficient or the radiator is clogged, it can create a cavity inside the heater core. When coolant flows through this area and impacts the radiator walls, it produces a water-flowing sound. A bubbling sound, similar to blowing air through a straw submerged in water: For the power steering pump, this sound is commonly associated with the expansion tank or the mechanical hydraulic power steering pump. There are two typical scenarios where the hydraulic power steering pump makes this noise: one is a power steering fluid leak, which is common in older vehicles over time. When the fluid level drops and air gets mixed in, this sound occurs. In such cases, topping up the power steering fluid usually resolves the issue. The sound of flowing water: This sound is often heard from the heater core. It’s rare for the engine’s internal coolant passages to produce such a noise because, first, the engine’s operational noise typically drowns out the sound of flowing water, making it difficult to hear from the driver’s seat. Second, the engine’s internal cooling system is usually free of air, with coolant flowing tightly along the cooling system pipes without any water impact, so it’s unlikely to generate a water-flowing sound.
