Major maintenance refers to maintenance that includes engine care and is typically performed every 60,000 kilometers. Major maintenance is based on minor maintenance, with the two types of maintenance alternating. Minor maintenance includes oil changes, and generally, there are three types of engine oil: 1. Full synthetic: Full synthetic oil should be changed every 10,000 kilometers or once a year. 2. Semi-synthetic: Semi-synthetic oil should be changed every 7,500 kilometers or every 7-8 months. 3. Mineral oil: Mineral oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers or every six months. Below is an introduction to the three types of engine oil: (1) Full synthetic oil: Synthetic oil is a man-made oil. During its production, various natural substances are chemically decomposed and then synthesized with other substances to finally produce synthetic oil. (2) Semi-synthetic oil: Semi-synthetic oil is a lubricant made using semi-synthetic base oil, which is refined from international Group III base oil through hydrocracking technology. It is a mixture of mineral oil and full synthetic oil in a 4:6 ratio. The purity of semi-synthetic oil is very close to that of full synthetic oil, but its cost is slightly higher than that of mineral oil. It is an ideal transitional product from mineral oil to synthetic oil. (3) Mineral oil: As the name suggests, mineral oil is extracted from minerals and is relatively viscous. Mineral oil is refined from petroleum base oil and then mixed with additives.

How to Bleed Air from the Hyundai Verna Radiator?

There are several methods to bleed air from the Hyundai Verna radiator, which include: 1. Open the front engine hood of the car, locate a small and thin hose under the roof, and remove it; 2. Add water to the radiator until it is half full, then let the engine idle while continuing to slowly add water until water flows out of the thin hose, then reconnect the hose; 3. Continue filling the radiator until it is full. After filling, let the electric fan turn off and wait for the water temperature to drop. Then check if there is any water shortage and top up if necessary. Below is some additional information about the Hyundai Verna: The Verna offers two engine configurations, a 1.4L and a 1.6L, both from Hyundai's latest γ engine series. Their greatest advantages are superior power and fuel economy compared to other models in the same displacement class. The 1.4L engine delivers a maximum power of 78.7kW at 6300rpm and a maximum torque of 135.4Nm at 5000rpm, while the 1.6L engine produces a maximum power of 90.4kW at 6300rpm and a maximum torque of 155Nm at 4200rpm, both exceeding the power levels of comparable models in the same displacement category.

Does the Haval H2 have a diesel version?

Haval H2 does not have a diesel version. The car stands out in terms of exterior and interior design. Exterior of Haval H2: The Haval H2 follows the Haval family's signature hexagonal and large U-shaped front grille designs, with the former being refined, stylish, and youthful, while the latter exudes a sense of grandeur and stability. Combined with the standard LED daytime running lights featuring a diamond-inlay effect, it creates a highly recognizable front face. The high-gloss metallic paint and high-chroma pearl paint give the car a silky smooth "skin," with six body colors available. The 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels add a sporty touch to the Haval H2. Interior of Haval H2: Beyond its exterior beauty, the youthful interior design of the Haval H2 also enhances its premium appeal. This is not only reflected in the large-area soft-touch materials used for the high-quality interior and the comfortable leather seats but also in the rare Webasto smart panoramic sunroof, which is uncommon in its class. As a major plus for young buyers, the Haval H2's panoramic sunroof not only offers features that others don't have but also excels where others do. It includes functions like automatic closing when locking the car or at high speeds, anti-pinch protection, and synchronized control with the sunshade.

Are the CVT transmissions of the X-Trail and Sylphy the same?

The CVT transmissions of the X-Trail and Sylphy are not the same. The X-Trail stands out in terms of exterior design and interior styling. X-Trail Exterior Design: The X-Trail's instrument panel has a unique design, positioned further from the driver's line of sight. To see it clearly while driving, the driver must slightly tilt their head. It's unclear whether this "clever design" is intended to prevent the driver from maintaining a fixed posture. To fully enjoy the X-Trail's power, ensuring passenger comfort is essential. The second-row seats feature multi-angle reclining backrests, a center armrest, headrests and three-point seat belts for the outer seats, while the middle passenger has only a two-point seat belt. X-Trail Interior Styling: The dashboard follows a typical Japanese design but uses higher-quality materials, finer craftsmanship, and more harmonious color coordination. The leather-wrapped steering wheel has an optimal thickness and excellent grip. The instrument cluster is innovatively positioned at the center of the dashboard, slightly tilted toward the driver for better visibility, creating a somewhat head-up display-like effect. Function buttons are neatly arranged and within easy reach, showcasing Japanese cars' emphasis on ergonomics. The audio system features an AM/FM/6+1CD front-loading design for convenience, with six speakers delivering excellent sound quality, particularly in the bass range, which is rich and deep.

What lights should be turned on when driving a motor vehicle in foggy weather?

When driving a motor vehicle in foggy weather, turn on the fog lights. If visibility is low, also turn on the hazard warning lights. Here are some precautions for driving in foggy conditions: Use lights correctly. Fog lights should be turned on in foggy weather as their light waves penetrate fog more effectively and illuminate farther. When visibility is extremely poor, you can turn on the hazard warning lights because yellow light has better penetration through fog. Remember not to use high beams. Use the horn for alerts when necessary. In foggy conditions, it's harder to see each other, so honk appropriately when overtaking, turning, or encountering pedestrians to signal your movements. Reduce speed and avoid sudden braking. First, slow down. Foggy weather reduces visibility, and most vehicles move slowly. Driving too fast increases the risk of rear-end collisions. Slowing down also helps avoid sudden braking, which can be dangerous since judging distances is difficult in fog, and sudden stops may cause accidents for vehicles behind. Avoid reckless overtaking. Do not rush to overtake in foggy weather, as low visibility makes it hard to assess the situation ahead of the vehicle in front. Especially in heavy fog, not only should you turn on the hazard warning lights, but it's also best to maintain a safe distance and follow the vehicle ahead. Only when you can confirm the road conditions ahead should you honk and pass slowly at a low speed.

What Causes the Car AC to Only Blow Air at the 4th Speed?

The reason why the car AC only blows air at the 4th speed is due to a damaged blower motor resistor. The car AC may also experience the following issues: 1. Reduced airflow: A dirty cabin air filter can cause the blower motor to make noise, but the airflow remains weak. 2. Inability to adjust airflow direction: Damaged air deflectors or airflow direction control switches can prevent airflow direction adjustment. 3. Abnormal airflow: A frozen evaporator can cause sudden loss of airflow at high speeds, though the blower motor can still be heard running. Restarting the AC may restore airflow. 4. Uneven airflow between left and right vents: It is normal for the right vent to have stronger airflow than the left vent.
