Car odometers can be modified, but it is not recommended as the odometer serves as a basis for vehicle quality and maintenance, providing reliable information for future sales and servicing. The car odometer consists of two LCD digital display windows connected to the same signal source, which respectively record the trip mileage and total mileage. The trip mileage typically has four digits for short-term counting, while the total mileage has six digits. Currently, there are also electronic odometers that obtain mileage signals from speed sensors. The accumulated mileage data in electronic odometers is stored in non-volatile memory, allowing the data to be preserved even without power.

Why are used Fista cars so cheap?

Used Fista cars are cheap to attract attention. Here are some relevant introductions about used cars: 1. Introduction to the residual value rate of used cars: When buying and selling used cars, it is important to understand a very important indicator, the residual value rate of used cars. The so-called residual value rate of used cars, in simple terms, refers to the value retention of the vehicle. How much a car is worth in the market after several years of use depends on the residual value rate; the higher the residual value rate, the more valuable the used car is. To understand the residual value rate of a car, several indicators must be clarified, such as whether the market share of the car is large enough, whether the color is mainstream, the brand of the vehicle, and the convenience of later maintenance. 2. Precautions for selling used cars: First of all, the vehicle must be sold before the insurance expires, otherwise, when trading the used car, an additional insurance cost will be incurred for the vehicle. Secondly, pay attention to the replacement cycle of spare parts.

Can Synthetic Engine Oil Still Be Used After 13,000 Kilometers?

Synthetic engine oil that has been used for 13,000 kilometers is best not to continue using, as it poses significant risks. Below are the classifications of engine oil: 1. Diesel Engine Oil: There are two main criteria for selecting the quality grade of diesel engine lubricating oil. One is based on the combined mechanical and thermal loads of the automobile engine, expressed by the intensification coefficient; the other is based on the severity of the engine's operating conditions. 2. Gasoline Engine Oil: The appropriate performance grade (quality grade) of gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the severity of the engine's operating conditions, the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems of imported vehicles, and the production year. Never use a lower quality grade oil to replace a higher quality grade oil, as this can lead to engine failure or even damage.

Should the Automatic Parking Gear Be Left in D or N?

Whether to shift to N gear depends on the duration of parking and the vehicle model. 1. Short Duration: If the parking time is short, there's no need to shift to N gear; you can keep it in drive (D). However, for longer parking durations, shifting to N gear is recommended. Some vehicles automatically disengage the transmission when the brake is fully pressed or when the automatic parking function is activated during a red light. 2. Automatic Parking: Automatic parking refers to an automatic braking function. Once activated—for example, when stopping at a red light—it eliminates the need to use the handbrake or electronic parking brake, simplifying operations. For automatic transmission vehicles, it also avoids frequent switching between D and N or D and P. Additional Information: Reasons for Using Automatic Parking: When parking on slopes or before traffic lights, using the handbrake is common. However, in such scenarios, using the electronic parking brake can be awkward due to its slower response time. Manually operating the handbrake takes no more than 0.3 seconds, and human control is more flexible than electronic control. Activating the electronic parking brake requires pressing the brake first, along with button response time (to prevent misuse), and the motor operation itself takes longer, about 0.5 seconds.
