Tires with minor cracks on the side can still be used normally, but if the cracks are numerous and deep, they should be replaced. Generally, the lifespan of a tire is 3-5 years, with aging beginning around 3 years. After 5 years, tires are usually severely aged and should be replaced promptly. Methods to delay tire aging and extend tire life: 1. Park in shaded areas: Try to park in cooler places to avoid direct sunlight; 2. Avoid corrosive substances: Stay away from oil, chemicals, and other corrosive contaminants that can damage tires; 3. Use beauty products: Apply products like tire glaze or tire wax to slow aging; 4. Avoid overloading: Overloading can cause excessive pressure on the tire sidewalls; 5. Regular inspections: After 3 years of use, regularly check the tire's condition.

How to Change the Oil for an Air Compressor?

Start the air compressor and let it run for about 5 minutes until the oil temperature rises to around 50°C and the lubricating oil viscosity significantly decreases, then shut it down. Next, carefully observe the internal pressure of the oil-gas tank. When the pressure is found to be around 0.1Mpa, open the oil drain valve at the bottom of the oil-gas tank and connect it to the oil storage tank. After the lubricating oil has been completely drained, close the oil drain valve, then unscrew the oil filter of the air compressor to drain the lubricating oil from all pipelines simultaneously. Insert a funnel into the oil inlet to prevent leakage while pouring in the new oil. Fill with new oil until the oil level is within the scale range of the oil gauge, then tighten the oil filler plug.

How to Adjust the Center Rearview Mirror?

The following is an introduction to the adjustment methods for the center rearview mirror: 1. Method 1: The center rearview mirror should be adjusted as follows: Adjust the left and right positions so that the left edge of the mirror just cuts off the right ear of your reflection in the mirror. This means that under normal driving conditions, you cannot see yourself in the center rearview mirror. For the up and down positions, place the distant horizon in the center of the mirror. 2. Method 2: The mirror should be adjusted this way because the driver's seat is on the left, making it less easy for the driver to monitor the right side of the vehicle. 3. Method 3: Additionally, due to the need for roadside parking sometimes, when adjusting the up and down positions of the right-side mirror, a larger portion of the ground should be visible, occupying about 2/3 of the mirror surface. For the left and right positions, adjust them so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the area.

What Causes Low-Speed Jerking in a Land Rover Range Rover?

Low-speed jerking can be attributed to the following reasons: Reason 1: Issues with the transmission gear programming. Reason 2: Contamination or impurities inside the transmission, which prevent effective regulation of transmission oil pressure, leading to jerking. Reason 3: Transmission cooling problems; poor cooling can cause abnormally high temperatures in the transmission, affecting the performance of the transmission fluid. Solutions for low-speed jerking are as follows: Method 1: Clogged fuel lines—clean the fuel lines, injectors, fuel passages, and fuel pipes. Method 2: Jerking during acceleration in automatic transmission vehicles is normal, especially in models with fewer gears, such as 4-speed automatic transmissions. Method 3: Vehicles with auto start-stop and dual-clutch transmissions inherently have this issue. Method 4: Irregular ignition—replace the spark plugs or ignition coils.
