Avatar 2

Time Network News In the last weekend of 2022 in North America, Avatar: The Way of Water (referred to as Avatar 2) reached 66.84 million US dollars for three consecutive championships, up 6% from last week, with a total of 424 million US dollars in North America and 1.4 billion US dollars in the world. (The data source of this article is boxofficemojo)

Last week, the North American market rose by 4% as a whole. The runner-up Cat in Boots 2 and the runner-up Panther 2 rose by 31.2% and 38.3% respectively from last week.

Let’s briefly summarize the North American market in 2022. Last year, the box office in North America was estimated to be 7.37 billion US dollars (50.8 billion RMB), up 64% from last year’s 4.48 billion US dollars, but it was still far from the pre-epidemic level. In 2019, North America reached 11.4 billion US dollars.

In 2022, North America mainly relied on the summer file led by the prequel of Top Gun 2 and Jurassic World 3’s Little Yellow Man with Big Eyes: Despicable Me, and the market began to slump in September until the release of Avatar: The Way of Water.

This year, the total box office in North China was converted into RMB 50.8 billion, 70% higher than the 30 billion in, and it became the largest movie market in the world again.

In the last weekend of 2022, North America mainly relied on Avatar 2, which rose by 2% month-on-month in the third week, even better than the performance of Avatar, which fell by 9.4% in the third week 13 years ago. Of course, this downturn has something to do with the overall market rise. North America was hit by a snowstorm on Christmas weekend, and many viewers delayed their plans to enter the cinema.

Battle for the annual crown

The American media estimated that the box office of the film will exceed 440 million dollars on January 2, and it will be three times as big as the opening box office in the third week, while the box office of Top Gun 2 will be 395 million dollars in the third week. Avatar 2 seems to have the possibility of surpassing Top Gun 2 in the North American market and winning the annual title in North America.

In the international market, "Avatar 2" rose 4% from last week, with a global total of $1.397 billion, surpassing "Harry Potter and Under the Deathly Hallows" and becoming the 15th movie in the global film history.

The film’s performance in Britain and Japan was average, but it was a big hit at the box office in France, South Korea and India, and the film also exceeded RMB 1 billion in the mainland market of China. Top Gun 2 has a global box office of $1.49 billion, and Avatar 2 is likely to top the global box office in 2022 this weekend.

Cat in Boots 2 grossed $134 million worldwide.

The box office of "Cat in Boots 2" began to stabilize. In the second week of its release, it rose 35% month-on-month and won the runner-up of $16.78 million, with a total of $60 million in North America and $134 million in the world.

In the eighth week of its release, Panther 2 earned 4.83 million US dollars, up 38.3% from the previous month. The cumulative US$ 437 million in North America surpassed the US$ 411 million in Doctor Strange 2, becoming the runner-up in North America in 2022, and the global cumulative box office was 820 million US dollars.

Whitney Houston’s biopic "Dancing with Love" ranked fourth in the second week of its release, with a total of $4 million, down 16.1% from the previous month, with a total of $14.62 million in North America and $28.57 million worldwide.

This week’s new film

"Doll Megan" horror/thriller global release

Starring: Violet McGraw, Allison Williams

Plot: The story focuses on a talented robot expert of a toy company. He developed a doll M3GAN with AI and programmed it to establish an emotional connection with her newly orphaned niece, but the doll’s excessive desire for protection led to terrible results.

　　In a blink of an eye, 2018 is about halfway through. In July, there is a big wave of new policies about your wallet: the reduction of tariffs on imported consumer goods, the cancellation of traffic roaming fees, etc. What other new policies are there?

　　1 enterprise employees’ pensions shall be subject to the central adjustment system.

　　The State Council recently issued the Notice on Establishing the Central Adjustment System of the Basic Endowment Insurance Fund for Enterprise Employees, and decided to establish the central adjustment system of the endowment insurance fund, which will be implemented on July 1, 2018. On the basis of the current provincial overall planning of basic old-age insurance for enterprise employees, a central adjustment fund for old-age insurance will be established, and the old-age insurance funds in various provinces will be appropriately adjusted to ensure that basic pensions are paid in full and on time.

　　The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said that the implementation of the central fund transfer system will not increase the burden on enterprises and individuals and will not affect the treatment of retirees. First, do not increase the proportion of contributions paid by enterprises and individual employees. The establishment of a central fund adjustment system is mainly to adjust the surplus and deficiency of funds between provinces. The total income and expenditure of the national endowment insurance fund in the current period has not changed, and enterprises and individual employees do not need to pay extra fees, which will not increase the overall burden of society. Second, it will not change the current pension insurance benefits calculation and adjustment methods, and will not affect the personal benefits of retirees. In some provinces, the amount of funds borrowed is greater than the amount of funds allocated. In these provinces, the burden of old-age care is relatively light and the fund support ability is strong. After adjustment, it will not affect the timely and full payment of current pensions. In some provinces, the amount of funds allocated is greater than that of the above solution. Through adjustment, the pressure of fund payment can be appropriately alleviated, and the basic pension can be better guaranteed to be paid in full and on time.

　　2. Adjustment of social security payment base

　　Many places in the country have successively announced the social security payment base in 2018. Taking Beijing as an example, the lower limit of the payment base for employees participating in basic old-age insurance and unemployment insurance is 40% of the average monthly salary of employees in Beijing in 2017, with a minimum of 3,387 yuan, which is 305 yuan higher than last year; For employees who participate in basic medical insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance, the minimum payment base is 60% of the average monthly salary of employees in this city in 2017, with a minimum of 5,080 yuan, up 456 yuan from last year.

　　Social security payment is related to the treatment of the insured after retirement. Only when a certain payment level is reached can a better treatment level be achieved. If the payment level is too low, the pension level is still low. In other words, the payment level will increase with the increase of average salary, and the future treatment level will also increase.

　　3. The tax incentives for scientific and technical personnel will be "received"

　　The Ministry of Finance, the State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China and the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly issued the Notice on Individual Income Tax Policies for Scientific and Technological Personnel to Earn Cash Rewards from Their Post Scientific and Technological Achievements, which made it clear that since July 1, 2018, non-profit research and development institutions and institutions of higher learning approved according to the law on promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, the cash rewards given to scientific and technological personnel from their post scientific and technological achievements can be included in the "salary and salary income" of scientific and technological personnel in the current month at a reduced rate of 50%, and personal income tax can be paid according to law.

　　It is cheaper to import daily consumer goods.

　　With the approval of the State Council, the MFN tariff rate of some consumer goods will be reduced from July 1, 2018, involving 1449 tax items, and the average tax rate will be reduced from 15.7% to 6.9%, with an average decrease of 55.9%.

　　The Ministry of Finance, State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the Announcement on Reducing Vehicle Purchase Tax on Trailers. From July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2021, the vehicle purchase tax will be reduced by half. The date of purchase shall be determined according to the issuance date of the Uniform Invoice for Motor Vehicle Sales, Special Payment Letter for Customs Tariff or other valid documents.

　　7. Preferential tax policies for venture capital enterprises and angel investment individuals.

　　The Notice on Tax Policies for Venture Capital Enterprises and Angel Investors jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China promoted the preferential tax policies for venture capital enterprises and angel investors, that is, the preferential policies for venture capital enterprises and angel investors to invest in seed-stage and start-up technology-based enterprises, and the taxable income was deducted by 70% of the investment amount, which was implemented nationwide by eight pilot areas of comprehensive innovation reform and Suzhou Industrial Park.

　　This Notice clarifies that the personal income tax policy for angel investment will be implemented as of July 1, 2018, and other policies will be implemented as of January 1, 2018; The above-mentioned tax policy can be applied to the investment that occurred within 2 years before the implementation date and has been invested for 2 years after the implementation date and meets the prescribed conditions.

　　8. Traffic "roaming" fee is cancelled

　　On June 22nd, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom successively announced that, starting from July 1st, 2018, the roaming fee will be cancelled, and the provincial traffic of new and old mobile phone users will be upgraded to domestic traffic (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan traffic).

　　Previously, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology launched a series of measures to reduce the growth rate of mobile traffic, including: from July 1, the "roaming" fee for mobile traffic will be cancelled, and basic telecommunications companies will be encouraged to launch large-flow packages. The average unit price of mobile traffic will be reduced by more than 30% during the year. Further reduce household broadband charges and international, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan roaming charges. Promote enterprises to optimize and streamline tariff packages, and study and introduce relevant policies and measures to standardize tariff management. Support all localities to expand the coverage of wireless networks in public places and provide users with free Internet access services.

　　9. Some high-speed rail tickets are discounted by 6.5%

　　Starting from July 5 this year, the announced fares of high-speed trains running on the six sections of Hefei-Wuhan, Wuhan-Yichang, Guiyang-Guangzhou, Liuzhou-Nanning, Shanghai-Nanjing and Nanjing-Hangzhou were optimized and adjusted. This time, it is clear that the published fare is the highest price limit. Railway-related enterprises can lower the fare within the price limit by season, time, seats and sections according to the passenger flow, with a maximum discount of 6.5%. Compared with the current situation, the adjusted executive fare has generally increased and decreased.

　　10. Tianjin will raise the unemployment insurance standard from July 1st.

　　A few days ago, Tianjin issued a notice, starting from July 1 this year, it will raise the unemployment insurance payment standard.

　　According to the "Notice on Improving the Payment Standard of Unemployment Insurance in Tianjin", if the payment period is from the first month to the twelfth month, the monthly payment standard will be raised from 1150 yuan to 1240 yuan; For the 13th to 24th months, the monthly payment standard was raised from 1,110 yuan to 1,200 yuan, respectively increasing the 90 yuan.

1905 movie network exclusive Hollywood’s "sequel" strategy is not a new topic in recent years. The theme is drying up day by day, the market is saturated day by day, and superhero movies that gnaw at comic books dominate the world … … From commercial blockbusters to small and medium-sized topical films, expanding the existing film universe, continuing the existing popularity and replicating the existing success have become the tacit choices of the increasingly conservative big studios.

　

Of course, the 36 sequel to the movie bombings in 2016 were still a bit too fierce (the number in 2015 was still 28). In this year, the Marvel Comics blockbuster "Captain America: Civil War", which is a cliche, actually continued to be very powerful. James Wan, who was tired of playing the "speed shock" series, returned to "Evocation 2", which was actually a double harvest at the box office; Of course, it is not uncommon to fail to meet expectations, such as Independence Day 2: A comeback, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Breaking Through the Shadow, and The Pirates 2; And things like Alice in Wonderland 2: Adventures in the Mirror and zoolander 2 are also on the street … …

　

But generally speaking, in Hollywood, where creativity is increasingly scarce, sequels are still chewy, especially in Hollywood’s foreign cultural output, sequels are an absolute fist product. At present, in a list of 27 films, sequels actually account for 18 seats!

A chart tells you that the 2017 sequel is still the fist product of Hollywood cultural output.

　

In order to avoid the blindness of fans, we specially selected some well-selling sequels to be released in 2017, and gave you a little reference according to the time sequence of North American release:

It must be said that this focus picture from the hand of the film network designer was once regarded as the official ultimate poster by foreign media.

　

Extreme Agent: The Ultimate Return, January 20th

　

Expected value: ★★★★☆.

　

If it weren’t for the release of the third film, I’m afraid everyone would have forgotten this old IP launched 15 years ago, but in fact, it’s only one year behind Vin Diesel’s other "housekeeping skills" The Fast and the Furious series.

　

Similar to the mistakes made in the Bourne ultimatum series, the second film in 2005 didn’t use the main hero Vin Diesel, so it became a matter of course to save the street. Fortunately, the third film got back on track this time, and Dissel finally came back, bringing Tony Jaa and Donnie Yen with him, so the biggest attraction of this film is obviously to play.

Wuli, whoever doesn’t play soy sauce!

　

In addition, deepika padukone, the Indian "national queen" who is said to have appeared in Fast 7 earlier, actually came to Extreme Agents. And "Speed ? ? 8" was also released this year, so it is inevitable for the audience to compare the two series. The relatively weak "Extreme Agent" can easily be regarded as the adopted son, and it lost a segment of "Speed ? ? 8" at the box office first. As for wuli Fanfan, what is certain is that he has lived in Canada, and his English lines will never be worse than some sweet ones.

　

Actually, I’m here to see the Indian goddess … …

　

Resident Evil 6: The Final Chapter January 27th

　

Expected value: ★★★★★

　

From the age of 27 to the age of 41, Milla Jovovich devoted the best years of an actress to the Resident Evil series (and perhaps its creator, director paul anderson). Now that this series is finally coming to an end, the vicissitudes of Goddess Joe’s face seem to have a somewhat tragic meaning.

　

But in paul anderson’s design, this one should look heavy enough to be worthy of the pursuit of thousands of games and movie powder for many years. Judging from the trailer currently exposed, Goddess Joe has to go deep into the umbrella company’s "hive" to confront the Queen of Hearts. After so many years of blaming, she has finally come up with a big move of "frying zombies", and the pattern seems to be passable. It’s just that michelle rodriguez and Colin Salmon, the black captain who died tragically in the first film, which was legendary to return before, have not been seen, and their names are not in the lineup of Cass exposed in the film. In addition, the reputation of this series has been falling all the way after the standard of the first three films is acceptable, and the quality of this one … … It’s a little worrying.

　

Goddess Joe is the mother of two children. What kind of bike do you want?

We hold our mobile phones for social chat, online shopping, playing games and watching news every day, enjoying the convenience brought by mobile phones, but the accompanying traffic problems are a headache. There is basically WiFi at home, so don’t worry about it, but once you go out, the speed and traffic become a big problem. "Is there WiFi here?" It has also become the most frequently asked question. Now 360 free WiFi teaches you to surf the Internet and save a lot of traffic fees, and bid farewell to "traffic shortage" from now on.

The first trick is to get free WiFi in public places. Now all major shopping malls, restaurants, airports, buses and other public places have covered free WiFi, and we can access the signal to enjoy the free network, showing photos, chatting, online shopping, receiving emails and so on. However, we must be cautious when surfing the Internet. The incidents of criminals using free WiFi to steal user information often occur. It is recommended to install 360 free WiFi for security detection, and find phishing and fake WiFi at the first time to protect mobile phones from phishing and Trojan horses.

The second measure is to use the offline function of the mobile phone. Now many apps have added offline functions, such as offline music, offline video, offline reading and so on. Using the offline function, download in advance in the WiFi environment, which can also save a lot of traffic.

The third measure is to close the mobile network data. This is the most thorough way to save traffic, but it will be isolated from the world. We can’t talk about WeChat, brush Weibo, show photos and bask in sweetness. Our world is so wonderful, but unfortunately we can’t share it with each other.

The fourth measure is to cultivate good online habits. For example, turn off unused software in time, turn off automatic synchronization of weather, calendar and other applications, and turn on the browser’s traffic compression function, which can save traffic well.

Do you think the above tricks are too humbled to surf the internet and are not happy at all? Just take a free WiFi and be afraid? Then the fifth measure must not be disappointing.

The fifth measure is to use 360 free WiFi to connect the exclusive hotspots of the three major telecom operators at any time, and the number of hotspots has reached 130 million. 360 Free WiFi spends huge sums of money to purchase the traffic of the three major operators every month for users to use for free, and you can surf the Internet for free with a click, eliminating the need for mobile phone verification and other links. In the WiFi environment, users can also enjoy the advance payment protection provided by 360 in case of fraud, so as to avoid network risks and property losses.

　　At the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, which is a weather vane for the global automobile industry, BMW Group, as a global leader in luxury cars, fully demonstrated its all-out smart luxury future travel. At the press conference, BMW Group executives staged "Chinese simulcast" in turn, reaffirming their long-term confidence and commitment to the China market, and sketching out BMW’s vision of future luxury travel driven by innovation.

　　"BMW has never stopped innovating and constantly optimized various driving technologies, not only to protect the environment, but also to ensure that the diversified needs of customers are met. Through the new generation of vehicles, we expect to show the system implementation of the three core areas of the automobile industry in the future-electric, clear focus, sustainability and full digitalization. This also means that BMW will fully enter the future in three dimensions: design, technology and concept. " Qi Puce, chairman of BMW Group, said.

　　The mature luxury car market in China is also undergoing reconstruction: digitalization and intelligence have become the focus of competition, and new energy vehicles have become a new consumption trend; At the same time, the younger consumer groups put forward higher requirements for brand experience, and the new power brands have formed an impact on the traditional luxury car market structure.

　　Facing the challenge of electrification and intelligent transformation, BMW Group continues to optimize and upgrade its traditional business on the one hand, and increases its investment in research and development in the fields of new energy and intelligence on the other hand, and regards the new generation of vehicles as the answer to open up changes and face challenges directly.

　　"China is one of the most important strategic markets of the BMW Group. We will continue to invest in China, continuously expand our layout in China and support the sustainable and high-quality development of China." Chip said.

　　Facing the increasingly fierce competitive environment, with firm strategic determination, system capability and competitive products, BMW Group is expected to maintain its leading edge.

　　Mr. Qi Puze, Chairman of BMW Group, rejuvenated the new BMW4 Series family and consolidated its position as a luxury leader.

　　Under the wave of electrification, intelligence and digitalization, product competitiveness is still the magic weapon for car companies to win.

　　In the era of fuel vehicles, BMW successfully made the trait and label of "sports" deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and took pure driving pleasure as a unique personality label. Even in the era of smart electric, BMW still provides users with pure driving pleasure.

　　At this Beijing Auto Show, the new pure electric BMW i4 was launched in the world. As the first pure electric four-door coupe of BMW brand, the new pure electric BMW i4 inherits the sports genes of BMW brand, perfectly integrates coupe aesthetics with pure driving interest, and sets a new benchmark for luxury brands in electric driving.

　　The new pure electric BMW i4, which goes with the trend and starts strongly, continues the style of the current model as a whole in design. The upgraded BMW kidney grille highlights the design aesthetics and sportsmanship. The low-center-of-gravity model structure combined with the fifth-generation BMW eDrive electric drive technology makes it have excellent driving pleasure.

　　The dual evolution of face value and driving interest will continue to write the sales legend of BMW i4. It is worth mentioning that, since BMW i4 came out in 2021, it has pioneered the pure electric market at the same level with its pure coupe DNA, and won the favor of many young users. According to the data, the average age of BMW i4 owners in China is only 32 years old. They lead the trend, pursue individuality and have opinions. BMW i4 fully meets all their expectations for a luxury pure electric coupe with real sports genes. In 2023, the total sales volume of pure electric BMW i4 exceeded 80,000, making it one of the best-selling pure electric vehicles in BMW.

　　In addition to the new pure electric BMW i4, the new BMW4 series coupe and convertible coupe have also come into being. The new BMW M4 features the same laser taillights, two new paints of York Corner Green and Flame Red, and M-carbon fiber trim strips, and many other luxury configurations are applied to the BMW4 Series for the first time. The whole system comes standard with the front sports seats with advanced technology Sensatec synthetic leather and the M-sports multifunctional leather steering wheel with flat design, which further enhances the luxury sports experience.

　　The new BMW4 Series coupe and convertible coupe are equipped with BMW’s latest 2.0T engine, and with the 8AT gearbox, abundant power is on the verge. The use of customized support components and high-strength steel can enhance the rigidity of the car body and effectively improve the flexibility, accuracy and cornering limit performance of the vehicle. The precisely adjusted chassis makes the vehicle’s control experience like flowing water. Innovative hydraulic rebound damping technology (HRS) and hydraulic compression damping technology (HCS) perform their respective functions in the front and rear suspension, achieving an effective balance between sports performance and long-distance travel comfort. The variable sports steering system flexibly responds to the steering demand at different vehicle speeds with variable steering ratio, and realizes more direct, agile and flexible steering operation. The perfect load distribution of 50:50 front and rear and the optimized aerodynamic design further improve the handling performance.

　　In fact, since the launch of the current BMW4 Series in 2020, the global cumulative sales volume has reached nearly 400,000 units, which has become an important component of the BMW medium-sized luxury car market segment. In 2023, the BMW4 Series family was firmly in the head camp of the luxury medium-sized coupe market segment, and the rejuvenation of the new BMW4 Series family will undoubtedly continue to consolidate its position as the leader of the 4 Series family.

　　The new BMW4 Series coupe is based in China, and the lineup of multi-electric models responds to the needs of customers in China.

　　At present, the electric vehicle industry in China is developing rapidly, but consumers’ choices are still diverse, which provides new opportunities for the BMW Group to continue to develop in the luxury car market in China.

　　"BMW adheres to the open technology route and lets consumers make choices. What BMW has to do is to provide consumers with the products they need at the right time. There is no such thing as old and new in the industry. No matter what kind of driving method, BMW must let customers enjoy pure driving pleasure. " Zipzer said at the annual financial report meeting.

　　At this year’s auto show, the full lineup of fifteen cars under the two brands of BMW Group appeared, and the BMW new generation concept car led the future models to leap to electric, intelligent and sustainable luxury; MINI Aceman is the world’s first show, taking the lead in applying the industry’s first round OLED display; BMW X family shows the luxury product lineup of the pioneers of SAV sports multi-functional market segment; Large and medium-sized luxury arrays composed of BMW7 series, 5 series and 3 series also appeared on the booth.

　　According to the plan, in 2024, BMW Group will further enrich its product lineup and present more than 20 brand-new and upgraded models of BMW and MINI to China consumers.

　　Compared with some traditional European car companies, which are worried about the growth of new energy market demand and thus slow down the pace of electrification, BMW Group firmly implements its clear strategy in electrification and moves towards the "new generation" of future travel. Zipce revealed that the BMW Group’s goal is to achieve more than 50% of electric vehicle sales by 2030.

　　It is worth mentioning that 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of BMW Group’s entry into China. China is not only the largest single market for BMW in the world, but also an important business ecosystem for the future.

　　The data shows that in 2023, BMW Group delivered more than 2.55 million new cars in the global market, including 375,000 pure electric vehicles, achieving the established goal that the sales of pure electric vehicles accounted for about 15% of the total sales of the Group. Among them, in China, the single market with the highest electrification penetration rate, BMW Group delivered more than 820,000 BMW and MINI brand cars, including nearly 100,000 pure BMW electric vehicles.

　　It is worth mentioning that Tsipce’s two visits to China this month also highlight the BMW Group’s attention and confidence in the China market.

　　Tsipce pointed out that in the past 30 years, BMW Group has always adhered to the principle of "home in China", not only committed to making sustained contributions to China’s economic growth, but also deeply participated in technological innovation and social and cultural development. At present, it is even more necessary to strengthen international cooperation, promote smooth trade, and achieve growth, prosperity and employment expansion.

　　BMW always believes that cooperation creates prosperity and growth, and the successful development of BMW Group in China is a model of long-term win-win cooperation between Germany and China. Transnational cooperation should become a key force to meet current and future challenges.

　　BMW is upgrading its R&D strength in China in an all-round way, with better R&D in China to meet the needs of China and enhance BMW’s core competitiveness in the world. At present, BMW has established the largest and most complete R&D system outside Germany in China, with its R&D and innovation bases in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenyang and Nanjing.

　　Based on its firm confidence and commitment to the China market, BMW Group continues to invest in China and expand its business layout in China. On April 26th, BMW Group announced that it plans to invest 20 billion yuan in Shenyang production base. This investment focuses on the large-scale upgrade and technological innovation of Dadong factory, the birthplace of BMW production in China, which lays the foundation for the localization of BMW’s "new generation" models in 2026.

　　It is understood that the "new generation" of BMW Group is not just a car, but the beginning of the new product series of the next generation BMW.

Reasonable selection of engine oil (click to review)

So how to judge your car?

Do you need to change the oil?

When do you need to add oil?

Park the vehicle on a flat ground. When the vehicle is cold, first pull out the oil dipstick and clean it, then re-insert it into the hole of the oil dipstick and wait for a while. Then pull it out again to check the oil quantity accurately. If it is a hot car, you should wait for a few minutes after the engine is turned off and wait for the oil to fully return to the oil pan before measuring.

The normal oil quantity should be above the scale mark B area, but not higher than the scale mark C area. If the oil quantity is lower than that in area B, it should be added in time; if the oil quantity is lower than that in area A, it should be added immediately.

Harm of too much or too little oil

Too little oil.

When the fuel quantity is lower than the scale A area, the continuous running of the vehicle will aggravate the wear of engine parts, shorten the service life of the engine, and even cause the engine bearing bush to be burned and scrapped. Therefore, when the amount of engine oil is too small, it should be added immediately to ensure the normal working state of the engine.

Too much oil

When the fuel quantity is higher than the scale C area, the running resistance of the engine will increase, and the engine will feel sluggish when starting, resulting in insufficient driving power. Be alert to the leakage of engine oil, which will cause carbon deposition when the engine burns engine oil, which will make the engine working condition worse and reduce its working ability. Therefore, if it is found that there is too much engine oil, it is necessary to release the excess oil in time to ensure the normal operation of the engine.

How to check the quality of oil products?

Use the oil dipstick to drop the oil on the inspection paper to observe its melted color. If it is light yellow, it means that the oil is clean. If the oil is medium yellow, it can continue to be used without oil change and maintenance; When the oil color turns black, it means that the oil filter needs to be changed to maintain the engine.
