New cars do not need fuel additives when refueling. Precautions for refueling a new car: 1. Do not fill up the tank completely on the first refueling; 2. Do not wait until the fuel warning light comes on to refuel; 3. Refuel in the morning or evening; 4. Avoid refueling immediately after the gas station has just unloaded fuel; 5. Choose reputable gas stations; 6. Always select gasoline based on the engine's compression ratio; 7. Refuel promptly after purchasing a new car. Fuel additives, also known as fuel system cleaners, are used to clean carbon deposits, maintain the engine, and protect the fuel system. They mainly consist of nano-molecules, cleaning activators, antioxidants, anti-corrosion agents, and demulsifiers.

How Many Liters of Differential Oil Does a BMW 3 Series Need?

BMW 3 Series requires approximately 6 liters of differential oil. Differential Introduction: The car differential is a mechanism that allows the left and right (or front and rear) drive wheels to rotate at different speeds. It mainly consists of left and right half-shaft gears, two planetary gears, and a gear carrier. Differential Function: Its purpose is to enable the left and right wheels to roll at different speeds when the car is turning or driving on uneven surfaces, ensuring that both drive wheels perform pure rolling motion. Differential Objective: The differential is installed to adjust the speed difference between the left and right wheels. In four-wheel drive systems, to drive all four wheels, they must be connected. If all four wheels are mechanically linked together, the car cannot rotate at the same speed when driving on curves. To ensure the car's rotational speed is relatively consistent during curve driving, a central differential is added to adjust the speed difference between the front and rear wheels.

What Causes the Jerk When Shifting from First to Second Gear?

The main reasons for the jerking sensation when shifting from first to second gear are improper coordination between the clutch and throttle, and mismatched engine speed and vehicle speed during gear shifting. In actual driving, first gear is often used as the starting and acceleration gear for quicker starts. When shifting to second gear, the vehicle speed is around 20km/h, and both the vehicle speed and engine speed are relatively high. Additionally, if the driver presses the throttle too quickly after releasing the clutch pedal to further increase speed, the engine speed drops significantly, while the increased throttle input raises torque output, resulting in a jerking sensation. For smoother shifting, it's best to keep the vehicle speed below 10km/h when fully releasing the clutch pedal and shifting to second gear. If you want to achieve a quick start and acceleration, pressing the clutch pedal while simultaneously pressing the throttle when the speed reaches 20km/h can prevent a significant drop in engine speed due to clutch release. Shifting to second gear at this point allows for smoother clutch engagement and reduces jerking, but this method may cause some damage to the clutch and is not recommended for long-term use.
