Suitable is the best way to talk about the purchase and use of engine oil

  [Technology], also known as the "blood" of a car, I think anyone who drives a car will know something about it. Especially with the increasing popularity of automobiles, the choice of vehicles has become more and more abundant and diversified, and everyone has paid more attention to engine oil. Today, we will talk with Castrol engineers about how to choose and use engine oil and some basic problems about engine oil. As for how to choose between mineral oil, partially synthetic oil and fully synthetic oil, the answer given by the engineer is "there is no best, only the most suitable".

  Let me briefly introduce two Castrol engineers who accepted our conversation today. They are Mr. Liu Jianhao (left), technical manager of Castrol vehicle oil products (China), and Mr. Huo Haitao (right), technical support engineer of Castrol.

What is engine oil? What is the function of engine oil?

  Let’s start with the most basic question. What is engine oil? Engine oil, that is, lubricating oil, plays a role in lubricating, cleaning, cooling, sealing, reducing wear, damping and buffering, and preventing rust and corrosion. For the basic introduction of engine oil, please click here.

● What are synthetic oil and mineral oil?

  At present, engine oils on the market are divided into mineral oil, partially synthetic oil (commonly known as semi-synthetic) and fully synthetic oil according to their base oils. Mineral oil is directly refined from crude oil. The oil that has not been artificially added and changed is called mineral oil, and the synthetic oil is made by artificial methods, including cracking and polymerization. If the base oil used to produce engine oil is all made of this kind of synthetic oil, it will be called synthetic engine oil.

  As for semi-synthesis, the more accurate statement should be partial synthesis. Different "semi-synthetic" engine oil products have different proportions of mineral oil and synthetic oil, not all of which are 50:50, so it is not very accurate to say semi-synthesis. From the perspective of engine oil, it is more willing to call it partial synthesis.

  In terms of performance, the first is low-temperature fluidity. Even mineral oil and synthetic oil of the same brand have different fluidity at low temperature. The fluidity of synthetic oil is the best, which is helpful for the cold start of vehicles and can also reduce fuel consumption to a certain extent. The second is the high temperature resistance of oil, which has better protection effect for engines that pay attention to high speed performance.

  The third is volatility. Because all synthetic oils are synthetic, their volatility will be lower than that of mineral oil. Therefore, when in use, people will think that all synthetic oils are more durable, and there will be relatively few cases of high oil consumption. Of course, about the oil consumption, it is also related to the design of the engine.

  Generally speaking, the engine oil consumption of European cars is indeed higher than that of Japanese cars, which is mainly due to the difference in design. For oil manufacturers, there is no saying which product can completely solve this situation, mainly depending on the design of vehicle manufacturers. Of course, if you think that your car has excessive oil consumption, you can consider trying synthetic oil with a slightly higher viscosity, which may improve to some extent, but it can’t be completely cured.

  In this regard, China’s national standard "Test Method for Automobile Engine Performance GB/T19055-2003" clearly stipulates that "the rated speed and full-load engine oil/fuel consumption ratio shall not exceed 0.3%". Generally speaking, assuming that the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the car is 10L (subject to the published data), the standard of oil consumption per 1000 kilometers is 0.3L, which is lower than this value, which is "reasonable" according to the national standard. Although from our point of view, this value seems a bit too broad, but there is no way, the current implementation standard is this, whether it is reasonable or not, a certain enterprise can only be judged by the relevant competent authorities.

  After all, as far as the phenomenon of large oil consumption is concerned, the main reason is related to engine design, and choosing different oil can only play an auxiliary role. More importantly, from the perspective of engine oil manufacturers, it is a phenomenon that the oil consumption is high. As for the reasons for "consumption", it is diversified, and this is not something that engine oil manufacturers can judge, but more depends on what the vehicle manufacturers say.

● How do consumers choose engine oil? Is synthetic oil the best?

  The principle of buying engine oil is "there is no best engine oil, only the most suitable engine oil". First, it is recommended that you use the specifications recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. When you buy engine oil, you must choose the corresponding specifications, and at the same time check whether you have passed the corresponding certification, such as environmental protection grades such as SL, SM and SN and various performance grades. In short, from the perspective of Castrol, we suggest that you choose the corresponding viscosity and grade according to the model recommended by the manufacturer, and also according to your own economic strength.

  If you care about the price, drive more and change the oil frequently, you can use mineral oil and some synthetic oil, but if you drive less and change the oil only once a year, it is recommended to use a better, fully synthetic oil. As for viscosity grade, for example, some European and Japanese manufacturers, in recent years, for the sake of environmental protection and fuel saving, will recommend the use of low viscosity engine oil such as 5W-20, as long as you follow the manufacturer’s recommendation. Of course, if there is no special provision from the manufacturer, you can choose the engine oil with reference to the vehicle environment. Generally speaking, the common engine oils such as 0W-40, 5W-30 and 5W-40 on the market have strong applicability, which can be suitable for the climate in most parts of China and the use of most vehicles.

Home of the car

  For old cars that have been driven for more than 10 years and the mileage exceeds 200,000 kilometers or even 300,000 kilometers, we can consider using high-viscosity oils such as 15W-40 and 15W-50. The advantages of this kind of engine oil are that it will be better sealed, it will be easier to maintain oil pressure and reduce engine oil consumption, and most of these oils are mineral oil. If the old car uses low-viscosity engine oil, it may lead to insufficient oil pressure, which can not meet the lubrication needs of the engine and aggravate wear, which is harmful and not beneficial. Therefore, from the point of purchase recommendation, the choice of engine oil is not as expensive as possible, and synthetic engine oil is not a "panacea", but should pay attention to the principle of application, which is called."The right one is the best."After all, everyone’s economic strength and car use concept are different, and it is sometimes an unnecessary waste to think that it is good and expensive. Of course, for base oil, it must be synthetic than mineral.

● How to judge the oil attenuation and what is the reasonable oil change mileage?

  Castrol engineers said that from the test and research of oil products, the viscosity change, water content, total acid value and total alkali value of oil products are all the basis for considering whether oil products should be replaced, but these are all based on the analysis of oil products in the laboratory. From the owner’s point of view, there is basically no way to detect it from the use experience of the vehicle. Therefore, from the perspective of oil manufacturers, we still follow the recommendation of oil change mileage of vehicle manufacturers, and this data has been demonstrated by manufacturers based on a large number of experimental results.

  In principle, the oil change cycle of synthetic engine oil is definitely longer than that of mineral oil.Generally, the oil change cycle of mineral oil is about 5,000 kilometers, and the total synthetic oil can be used for about 7,500-10,000 kilometers.. In terms of time, whether it is mineral oil or synthetic engine oil, it should not exceed one year. Of course, the above situation is mainly aimed at the China market. In Europe, the oil change cycle of some cars is really long, ranging from 15,000 km to 20,000 km, and even 30,000 km. This is mainly because the local fuel quality is good, the impurities and sulfur content are low, the local air quality is good, and it is related to the road conditions. The traffic jam cannot be serious, and the oil needed is also a long-term engine oil product, but this is not suitable for the current domestic situation. Of course, except for some European countries, the oil change mileage in most places, especially the United States, Canada and Japan, is not particularly long, basically around 5000-10000 kilometers, which is similar to that in our country.

Starting from 149,800 yuan, BYD Seal DM-i Glory Edition went on the market.

A few days ago, BYD officially announced that its DM-i glory version was listed, with a price range of 149,800-219,800 yuan, and a total of six models were launched. Like other glory models, the price of Seal DM-i glory version has also decreased compared with before. Not only that, the entry-level 121KM elite model and 121KM luxury model have also been upgraded for configuration.

The appearance of Seal DM-i Glory Edition is consistent with that of the old model, which continues the design concept of "marine aesthetics". The design of the front grille is inspired by the ripples of the waves. Through trapezoidal openings and chrome-plated decorative strips, the boundary of the traditional grille is weakened step by step, and the five parallel lines formed effectively stretch the visual width of the front face.

There is a nose protruding forward above the grille, which presents a visual effect ready to go, and the English logo "BYD" is embedded in the hood. The headlights on both sides are relatively long and narrow, and the far and near lights inside are arranged horizontally, which looks quite unique. The bottom is also equipped with a vertical imitation air inlet decoration, and a segmented vertical light strip is integrated to ensure the sense of movement of the front face, which also helps to further enhance the eye-catching effect after lighting.

The DM-i side of the seal adopts the shape of sliding back, and with the hidden door handle, the visual effect looks quite smooth and dynamic. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4980/1890/1495mm, and the wheelbase is 2900mm, which is a B+ class car.

In the car, the glory version of Seal DM-i has not changed either. It is equipped with a 10.25-inch embedded full LCD instrument, and a hood is added above it to prevent reflection. The iconic 15.6-inch adaptive rotatable suspension Pad continues to be equipped, and the whole system is equipped with DiLink 100 system. The system is developed based on 6-nanometer 5G chip, and the CPU computing power is increased to 136K DMIPS, and it supports functions such as full-scene voice, map/wallpaper dual desktop.

In terms of configuration, the two entry-level models add streamer gray interior color matching options, the 121KM elite model is increased, and the 12.8-inch central control panel is upgraded to 15.6 inches; The 121KM luxury model adds adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking, emergency lane keeping assistance, front seat heating/ventilation, wireless charging of 50W mobile phone, etc.

In terms of power endurance, Seal DM-i Glory Edition continues to provide two plug-in hybrid systems and two endurance versions, consisting of Xiaoyun-plug-in special 1.5L high-efficiency engine/Xiaoyun-plug-in special turbocharged 1.5Ti high-efficiency engine, with EHS electric hybrid system and DM-i super hybrid special power blade battery.

Among them, the 1.5L engine has a maximum power of 81 kW and a peak torque of 135 Nm. It is equipped with a driving motor with a maximum power of 145 kW and a peak torque of 325 Nm, with an acceleration time of 8.2 seconds per 100 km. Under NEDC working conditions, the cruising range of pure electricity can reach 121 km, and the fuel consumption per 100 km is only 3.9 liters under power failure.

1.5Ti engine has a maximum power of 102kW and a peak torque of 231Nm. It is equipped with a driving motor with a maximum power of 160kW and a peak torque of 325Nm. The acceleration time of 100km is 7.9 seconds. It has two pure electric endurance versions of 121km and 200km (NEDC working condition), and the corresponding fuel consumption of 100km under power failure is 4.2L and 4.4L respectively.

Seal DM-i is the first B+ hybrid car of BYD Ocean Network, which has a more fashionable and sporty appearance, while the interior of the new car pays more attention to the creation of luxury texture, focusing on the relatively young market. Since its listing in September last year, its sales volume has also been considerable. After the launch of the Glory Edition, the starting price threshold will be lowered to 149,800 yuan, which is bound to further enhance the market competitiveness and sales volume of this car.

Song Joong Ki suddenly announced that she would welcome her second child, and the whole network was shocked: It’s really bad for your health to have a baby seamlessly!

Recently, news came from the Korean entertainment circle. Song Joong Ki, a famous actor, has officially announced that Mr. and Mrs. Song Joong Ki are welcoming their second child.

The news quickly triggered widespread discussion and attention on social media. Many netizens expressed their views on this, and some people ridiculed the amazing speed of their family planning.

Looking back on Song Joong Ki’s personal life history, he married his colleague Song Hye Kyo in 2017. Unfortunately, the marriage ended after only one year and eight months. In June last year, Song Joong Ki got married for the second time and welcomed her first child at the beginning of the year. Now, the news of another newborn baby makes people sigh how quickly the couple’s lives have changed.

When he became a father, Song Joong Ki’s image changed obviously. The public often sees him and his wife go out shopping and take care of the children, showing a warm and affectionate look different from the past. This change seems to show that the new members of the family have had a far-reaching impact on his lifestyle. For the new stage of Song Joong Ki’s life, the public’s eyes also turned to his ex-wife Song Hye Kyo. Some netizens speculated that the divorce between Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo may be related to their differences on whether to have children. Considering that Song Hye Kyo is four years older than Song Joong Ki, and shows greater ambition in his career, such speculation has aroused a certain resonance among the public.

In today’s society, giving birth to a child is a great choice full of challenges and pressures for individuals. Marriage and childbearing are essentially private decisions, which should be made by the parties according to their own circumstances and wishes. The diversity of life paths means that personal choices should not be influenced or imposed by external expectations. A happy and harmonious marriage cannot be measured only by whether there are children, but by the joint efforts and management of partners. It is a misunderstanding of the nature of marriage to regard childbirth as the guarantee of a happy marriage.

With the progress of society, the pressure of society on marriage and childbirth is gradually increasing, which reflects the disrespect for individual’s free choice. Modern society advocates pluralistic values and tolerant mentality, and believes that everyone has the right to live according to his own wishes without unreasonable interference from the outside world. Excessive interference in other people’s lives will only cause resentment and anxiety. For parents, it is a valuable experience to grow up happily with their children and learn how to love and tolerate. However, we should also realize that choosing not to have children does not mean that life is incomplete. True love is mutual appreciation and support, not the existence of blood relationship.

Song Joong Ki’s decision to form a new family is the embodiment of individual freedom and the choice of respecting the principle of individual autonomy. Song Hye Kyo’s single status doesn’t mean that her life lacks value or happiness. In fact, her choice should be respected and blessed.

When paying attention to the private lives of public figures, we should perhaps reflect more on our expectations and goals. It is very important for everyone to know what kind of life they are pursuing and how to achieve these goals. The road of life is very different, and it is these differences that constitute the diversity and richness of the world. As long as we stick to ourselves and go our own way bravely, our life will be full of infinite possibilities and hopes.

  In addition to the above-mentioned index increase, the inventory index in November also increased month-on-month. However, the index of market demand, average daily sales, employees and operating conditions decreased from the previous month.

  On May 23rd, the the State Council executive meeting decided to reduce the purchase tax on some passenger cars by 60 billion yuan. According to china automobile dealers association’s estimation, the policy of reducing the purchase tax on some passenger cars has basically reached the expectation, and 40 billion yuan has been implemented as of November 10th. It is estimated that the overall tax reduction will reach 55-65 billion yuan this year. Even with the policy stimulus, china automobile dealers association believes that the sales of fuel vehicles will still decline by 15% in 2022, and the unexpected increase of new energy vehicles will make up for the decline of these fuel vehicles.

Domestic Tesla reproduces large-scale recall

  On December 1, Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. recently filed a recall plan with the State Administration of Markets in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations on the Management of Defective Automobile Product Recall and the Implementation Measures for the Regulations on the Management of Defective Automobile Product Recall.

Home of the car

  According to the information published on the website of the State Administration of Markets, from now on, Tesla will recall some domestic Model 3 electric vehicles with production dates from December 27, 2020 to November 7, 2022, totaling 142,277; A total of 292,855 domestic Model Y electric vehicles with production dates from January 1, 2021 to November 11, 2022 were recalled. 

  The reason for this recall is that when some vehicles wake up from the parking state, the software of the vehicle position light may make an error when initializing the internal parameters, resulting in that the position light on one or both sides of the rear of the vehicle cannot be lit. In dark environment, the occasional failure of the position light will reduce the visibility of vehicles, and in extreme cases, it will increase the risk of vehicle collision accidents, which has potential safety hazards.

  According to Tesla’s official statement, the company will upgrade the recalled vehicles to 2022.40 or higher software for free through OTA, and users can complete the software upgrade without going to the store. For vehicles that cannot be recalled through OTA technology, Tesla (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. will contact relevant users through Tesla Service Center to upgrade the software for vehicles free of charge to eliminate potential safety hazards. 

Less than seven years after his resurrection, Baowo went bankrupt again.

  On November 29th, Beiqi Foton issued an announcement about the court declaring Beijing Baowo Automobile Co., Ltd. bankrupt. At this time, it was only less than seven years since Beijing Baowo was founded.

Baowo automobile Baowo BX7 2018 28T four-wheel drive luxury 5-seat country VI

"Baowo BX7』"

  Baowo brand was founded in 1919 and was once the third largest automobile manufacturer in Germany. In the 1950s and 1960s, the enterprise was in crisis and finally declared bankruptcy in 1961. In 2014, Beiqi Foton, which is committed to improving its performance in the passenger car field, spent 5 million euros to acquire the Baowo brand, and officially revived it two years later. Since then, Baowo, which focuses on "German technology", has also achieved a short peak in the passenger car market in China, and its first model, Baowo BX7, achieved 5,556 sales results within one natural month.

  From 2016 to 2018, the cumulative sales volume of Baowo was 106,900 vehicles, and the cumulative loss was as high as 4.014 billion yuan, accounting for 70% of the total loss of Beiqi Foton in the same period. In order to get rid of the burden, Beiqi Futian transferred 67% of the shares of Baowo brand to UCAR at the end of 2018 at a price of 3.973 billion yuan. However, with the lightning storm of the Shenzhou Department in the later period, Baowo once again experienced operational difficulties, and its sales volume gradually declined. I wonder if the Baowo brand will disappear after this bankruptcy, or will it be revived for the third time in the future?

Xiaomi Auto Autopilot R&D blocked?

  A few days ago, it was reported that the research and development of Xiaomi Auto’s autonomous driving was blocked, and the entire business line was being adjusted. The original full-stack self-research will be temporarily converted into a supplier program. According to people familiar with the matter, the reason for the above changes is that Xiaomi’s autopilot test is not effective. If the company wants to adhere to the plan of mass production of the first car in 2024, it can only be forced to choose a mature solution provided by the supplier.

  On March 30, 2021, Xiaomi officially announced the construction of the car, and announced the plan to invest 10 billion yuan in the first phase and expect to invest 10 billion US dollars in the next 10 years. The field of autonomous driving is undoubtedly the top priority in this investment plan, and the first phase of R&D investment reached 3.3 billion yuan.

  In August this year, Xiaomi released a video of intelligent driving test, which successively showed 30 functions such as unprotected left turn, automatic U-turn, multi-lane intersection left turn, roundabout bypass, courtesy to pedestrians and automatic parking, which was ridiculed by some netizens as "each function is worth 100 million". Up to now, Xiaomi official has not responded to the rumor of "suspending full-stack self-research". I wonder how many Xiaomi intelligent driving technologies can be carried in the first production car of Xiaomi mass-produced in 2024? (Text/car home Chen Can)

SAIC Roewe has performed well in safety performance and has become a leader among domestic automobile brands.

Ten years ago, the automobile market in China was occupied by joint ventures, and domestic automobile brands were not very competitive in China, so they were restricted by others.

Russia entered the post-Putin period.

    







Young people waved flags and stood in front CFP/ Putin’s large portrait with the words "Happy Birthday" written on it.


    Since the replacement of the Russian Prime Minister in September, speculations have been triggered one after another. Some commentators believe that these changes mark that Russia has actually moved towards the post-Putin period.


    What does a series of changes in Russian political situation mean? What will be the next step? What does this mean for China? Around these issues, Southern Weekend reporter interviewed Yu Sui, a member of the research and consulting group of the International Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee, a researcher at the Center for Contemporary World Studies in China and an academician of the International Academy of Natural and Social Sciences.


    Ensure that Putin continues to exert influence.


    Southern Weekend: Russia’s political situation has been changing constantly recently, which is directly related to next year’s presidential election and Putin’s future role in the country. As an important neighbor of China, its political situation has evolved into China’s concern. As an expert who has worked in the front line for a long time, could you please talk about it?


    Yu Sui: The dramatic political change in Russia recently was the reorganization of the government in September. This step is undoubtedly related to who plays the leading role in the national political situation in 2008. Make a few comments.


    First, this move is not brought about by the usual political chaos, but an important step to consider how to maintain the momentum of Russia’s revitalization.


    Second, from the perspective of choosing a successor, Putin must at least have several "guarantees".


    First of all, we must ensure the continuation of Putin’s line. Putin’s route consists of three parts:


    The first is the chosen development path. This is: "controllable democracy" with the basic goal of maintaining political stability and social harmony; A social market economy characterized by paying attention to efficiency and giving consideration to fairness; All-round diplomacy with "balance" as the basic guiding principle.


    The second is the determined strategy of governing the country. This is: taking national interests as the core, strengthening the country and enriching the people as the mission, taking economic development as the premise, taking the national spirit as the driving force, relying on a strong political power, uniting the whole society as the means, taking historical lessons as a mirror, choosing the road suitable for our national conditions as the direction, optimizing the external environment as the condition, and aiming at revitalizing the status of a big country. The third is pragmatism. That is, the three main ideological trends in Russian society-liberalism, socialism and nationalism-are integrated and chosen, and they are applied to the economic, political and diplomatic fields with emphasis.


    Second, we must ensure political stability and sustained economic development. Under the condition that Putin himself says that he will continue to exert influence on the country’s political life after leaving office, both Zubcov and Ivanov will ensure this.


    Finally, it is necessary to ensure that Putin can continue to exert influence in Russian political life.


    Thirdly, First Deputy Prime Minister Ivanov said that Zubcov’s replacement of Fradkov as prime minister indicated that "the country has entered a new political period", which some Russian observers called "Putin-Zubcov period". Personally, I think that the "new political period" can be understood as follows: first, Putin will leave the presidency and a new person will be the head of state; Second, a new political period in which Putinism will be recognized and developed; Third, Putin himself will continue to play a role in different ways in the new political period.


    Southern Weekend: On October 1st, Putin announced that he would lead the United Russia Party to participate in the State Duma election on December 2nd, and at the same time he would not be a member of this party. He also agreed with the call for him to run for prime minister in the United Russia Party, the current political party. Moreover, the situation seems to be still evolving. What do you think of this trend and evolution?


    Yu Sui: At the beginning, when considering Putin’s stay, there was such an arrangement plan in Russia: that is, from the existing presidential system to the presidential parliamentary system, the prime minister became the highest executive head of the country and the president became a national symbol; At the same time, since he is the head of the cabinet, of course, he can also serve as the leader of the political party United Russia. Through these two ways, Putin will continue to play a leading role in the Russian political situation. Now it seems that the political situation is obviously evolving in this direction, but this should be done by amending the constitution.


    In fact, not only Russia, but also some republics of the former Soviet Union are brewing this method, such as Kazakhstan, because the domestic political situation in these countries was chaotic at that time and they needed a powerful figure to lead them, so the presidential system was just the right time; Now, because the situation has gradually stabilized, everyone has begun to brew a change to the presidential parliamentary system.

Next, let’s take a look at the performance of BYD Qin PLUS EV. The compared model is the latest 2023 champion version. The car is positioned as a compact car with a price range of 129,800-176,800.

The new car is based on BYD e-platform 3.0 technology. Like Roewe D7, it is a pure electric platform. The core highlights are the eight-in-one powertrain and heat pump air conditioning, and the power has also been upgraded.

The appearance of Qin PLUS EV Champion Edition is believed to be very familiar to everyone. The overall design language of "EV Dragon Face" is still used, and the shape is almost not much different from the old one.

In terms of space performance, the wheelbase of Qin PLUS EV Champion Edition is 2718mm, which is the size of a standard compact car, so the rear space is much tighter than that of Roewe D7. After the experiencer of the same height sits in, the leg air conditioner is about a punch.
