The second maintenance of Emgrand GL should be performed at approximately 7,500 kilometers. The items for the second maintenance include: 1. Replacement of engine oil, oil filter, and air conditioning filter element; 2. ECU inspection. The Emgrand GL is a compact car. Taking the Emgrand GL 2021 UP Manual Leading Style as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4,725 mm, width 1,802 mm, height 1,478 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,700 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The Emgrand GL 2021 UP Manual Leading Style is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 104 kW at 5,200 rpm, and a maximum torque of 235 N·m at 1,600 to 4,000 rpm.

I recently had the second maintenance service for my Emgrand GL, which has run about 16,000 kilometers. I remember the first maintenance was done at 5,000 kilometers, and the salesperson recommended the second service between 15,000 and 20,000 kilometers, depending on personal usage frequency. My owner's manual clearly states that a check-up is recommended around every 15,000 kilometers in total mileage. During the service, fresh engine oil and an oil filter were replaced, and the brake system and tire pressure were checked—the whole process was quite comprehensive. Last time, I delayed the service by 2,000 kilometers, and the car developed some minor noises. Now, with timely maintenance, it runs much smoother. Developing this habit not only extends the engine's lifespan but also saves money and hassle. I strongly advise new car owners to follow the manual and not be lazy.

What does 98W on a tire mean?

The number 98 in 98W on a tire represents the load index, where 98 corresponds to a maximum load capacity of 750KG per tire; the letter W stands for the speed rating, indicating a maximum speed of 270km/h. The load index is molded on the sidewall of the tire, representing the maximum load limit for that tire. For driving safety, this load limit should not be exceeded, as overloading may cause excessive heat buildup and lead to sudden tire failure. Definition of tire load index: It refers to the maximum load a tire can carry when inflated to the specified pressure. It is usually represented by a numerical value. Definition of tire speed rating: It refers to the maximum speed at which a tire is allowed to operate, generally indicated by a capital letter and marked on the sidewall of the tire. In addition to the model, the following common data are also marked on the tire: Tire cord material: Represented by Chinese Pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, and ZG for steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which a tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters from A to Z represent certified speed ratings ranging from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Commonly used speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h.

Should the Nail in the Tire Be Pulled Out?

It is recommended not to pull out the nail by yourself. Instead, drive the car to a professional tire shop where trained staff can remove the nail and inspect the puncture. Here are some tips for car tire maintenance: 1. Check tire pressure: Neither too high nor too low pressure is good. Adjust it appropriately according to the situation. For example, when the road is slippery or the weather is hot, the pressure should be lower, and the tire should not be overinflated. When the temperature drops suddenly, the tire pressure must be replenished to cope with low-temperature road conditions. 2. Check for tire damage: Carefully inspect for possible tire cracks, uneven wear, or rim cracks, and replace them if necessary. 3. Regular tire rotation: The front and rear tires bear different weights and wear unevenly. Therefore, after a certain mileage, rotate the front and rear tires to maximize their use and extend their lifespan. 4. Pay attention to the distance between the tread and the wear indicator: Generally, if the distance is within 2-3mm, the tire should be replaced. Additionally, if the tire is punctured on the sidewall, the owner must not follow the advice of quick repair shops to patch it but should replace the tire immediately. Otherwise, the consequences could be severe. Since the sidewall is very thin, it cannot withstand the weight of the car after repair and is prone to blowouts.

Is There a Big Difference Between BMW 3 Series and 5 Series?

There are significant differences between the BMW 3 Series and 5 Series, mainly in the following aspects: 1. Exterior: The wheelbase of the BMW 5 Series is noticeably longer than that of the 3 Series. The distance from the front axle to the rear axle is the wheelbase, and a longer wheelbase means more spacious seating and greater operational stability. 2. Interior: The overall craftsmanship and materials used in the BMW 5 Series interior are more premium compared to the 3 Series. 3. Power: The 3 Series is equipped with a B48 engine, with the 325 model delivering a maximum power of 135 kW and a peak torque of 300 N·m; the BMW 5 Series 525 model also uses a B48 engine, with a maximum power of 135 kW and a peak torque of 290 N·m.

Does a car registered in July 2013 require an annual inspection in 2021?

According to the new annual inspection regulations, for vehicles registered in 2013, if the inspection was conducted before November 20, 2020 (when the new policy took effect), an inspection is required in 2021; if the inspection was conducted after November 20, 2020, no inspection is required in 2021. Relevant details are as follows: 1. New regulations: Under the new inspection rules, non-operational small passenger vehicles (excluding minibuses) aged between 7 and 9 years are exempt. For non-operational small passenger vehicles (excluding minibuses) older than 6 years but less than 10 years, the annual inspection frequency is adjusted to once every two years. 2. Inspection: For private cars older than 10 years, the inspection cycle remains unchanged as per the original regulations, i.e., once a year for vehicles aged 10 to 15 years, and once every six months for vehicles older than 15 years.

What Does the Snow Mode in Cars Mean?

Snow mode is a switch near the gear lever, marked with a snowflake symbol. When activated during snowy conditions, it helps the car start smoothly on icy or snowy roads. The principle behind it involves computer-controlled transmission adjustments, allowing the vehicle to start in second or third gear for more stable traction, reducing torque output, and minimizing tire slippage on slippery surfaces. Here are some driving tips for icy and snowy roads: 1. Prevent Slipping During Start: When driving on icy or snowy roads, tires are prone to slipping. Sometimes, the harder you press the accelerator, the worse the slipping becomes. To start smoothly, maintain steady control of the accelerator. 2. Check Wipers Before Departure: Before driving, ensure the wipers and windshield washer fluid are functioning properly. Make sure the wipers aren't frozen. During the drive, snow on the roof may melt and flow onto the windshield, requiring the use of wipers. If the snow is dirty, windshield washer fluid may be needed for cleaning, so ensure both are operational. 3. Avoid Sudden Acceleration Slipping: When driving on icy or snowy roads, avoid slamming the accelerator. Doing so may cause wheel slippage, reducing acceleration efficiency. For two-wheel-drive vehicles, this can compromise driving safety. 4. Slow Down in Corners: Entering a turn at high speed can lead to understeer, causing the front of the car to slide outward and lose control. Before entering a turn, release the accelerator pedal slightly and steer gently. Avoid sharp turns, as aggressive steering can cause oversteer, especially noticeable in rear-wheel-drive vehicles.

How to Identify Whether a New Car Meets China 5 or China 6 Emission Standards?

The methods to identify China 5 and China 6 emission standards are as follows: 1. The most crucial difference lies in the emission standards, with China 6 being significantly stricter than China 5. According to the '2017 Air Pollution Prevention and Control Work Plan' issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, China 6 standards impose a 40% stricter limit on carbon monoxide, PM fine particulate matter, and benzene content in gasoline compared to China 5. 2. Compared to China 5, China 6 has enhanced the testing requirements for hybrid vehicles, including regulations on energy storage systems, thermal management systems, drive motors, generators, and plug-in EES. 3. With the introduction of China 6 emission standards, China 5 vehicles have experienced a significant depreciation in value, China 3 vehicles are directly scrapped, and China 4 vehicles face driving restrictions. In contrast to when China 5 standards were first introduced, the requirements for China 3 and China 4 vehicles were not as stringent.
