Can 8-speed transmission fluid replace 6-speed transmission fluid?

Transmission fluid for 8-speed transmissions cannot replace that for 6-speed transmissions. The role of transmission fluid: Transmission fluid is a lubricant that maintains the cleanliness of the gear system, ensuring the proper operation of the transmission and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. Characteristics of transmission fluid: Most transmission fluids can be used in automatic transmissions available on the market. However, each automatic transmission design has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different vehicle models will vary in torque, weight, speed, and structure. Therefore, the original manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission fluid. Different transmission fluids are one of the factors affecting shift quality.

What does 4WD mean on a car?

4WD on a car stands for four-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive means that both the front and rear wheels of the car have power, and the engine output torque can be distributed in different proportions to all the wheels according to the road conditions to improve the car's driving capability. Four-wheel drive can be further divided into four driving modes: full-time drive, part-time drive, on-demand drive, and a hybrid of part-time and on-demand drive. Among them, full-time drive maintains a four-wheel drive mode at all times, distributing the engine output torque at a 50:50 ratio between the front and rear wheels during driving, providing excellent driving control and tracking performance. Part-time drive allows the driver to switch between two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive modes by engaging or disengaging the transfer case based on road conditions, which is a common driving mode for off-road vehicles or 4WD SUVs.

What measures should be taken if a tire suddenly bursts while driving at high speed?

If the front tire suddenly bursts while driving, the car will immediately veer to the side of the burst tire. At this point, you should use both hands to firmly control the direction of the car, quickly reduce the throttle, and ensure the car slowly moves to the roadside, decelerating smoothly. Utilize the engine's drag resistance to bring the car to a stop on its own. Before the speed is sufficiently reduced, do not rush to use the brakes, as this could cause the car to violently skid. If the rear tire suddenly bursts while driving, the car may sway, but the direction generally remains controllable. In this case, you can repeatedly and gently press the brake to shift the car's load to the front wheels, maintain control of the direction, and bring the car to a stop by the roadside.

Difference between GF-5 and GF-6 engine oil?

Engine oil GF-5 has a viscosity grade of 1000, while GF-6 has a viscosity grade of 5000, with the difference lying in their varying viscosity grades. Compared to ILSAC GF-5, the GF-6 specification offers numerous improvements. It maintains fuel economy and enhances engine durability, wear protection, prevention of low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI), reduction of timing chain wear, turbocharger deposit control, and sludge reduction. Stringent emission and fuel economy regulations drive changes in passenger car hardware system design and engine operating conditions, demanding higher performance from lubricants, including new dimensions of hardware protection. This means OEMs require more robust engine oils. These factors, along with the discontinuation of some current engine tests, are key drivers behind the development of the ILSAC GF-6 specification.
