It is advisable to watch during the first car maintenance. After the vehicle enters the maintenance workshop, you can personally follow along to observe the entire maintenance process, especially to supervise the materials used by the maintenance workers and their work attitude. Key points to note for the first maintenance include: 1. Make an appointment in advance; 2. Bring essential items such as the maintenance manual and vehicle registration; 3. Record any faults or questions encountered during daily driving and inform the staff during the first maintenance registration. The first car maintenance items include: 1. Replace engine oil and oil filter, clean the air filter, and check for damage to the generator belt and wiper blades; 2. Check the levels of various fluids; 3. Check tire pressure and look for uneven wear, bulges, or damage; 4. Inspect the car chassis, including brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and CV joints for any scratches; 5. Check all switches and lights to ensure they are functioning properly.

Which cars are equipped with ZF 8AT transmission?

Cars equipped with ZF 8AT include: Haval H8, Changan CS85-COUPE, Brilliance BMW 3 Series, Audi A8L, Audi Q5, Chrysler 300C, etc. The popularity of ZF 8AT among Chinese brands is largely due to its outstanding performance. Here are specific details about the ZF 8AT: 1. The ZF 8AT not only significantly reduces energy loss in the drivetrain but also meets the demands for lightweight, compact design, and energy efficiency. Traditional 6-speed automatic transmissions emit 186g of carbon emissions per kilometer, while the 8-speed transmission reduces this to 152g per kilometer, making it highly attractive to automakers. 2. The ZF 8AT is a longitudinal transmission, not a transverse one. Currently, most self-owned brand cars on the market feature a transverse engine and transmission design, which maximizes rear passenger space. In contrast, longitudinal transmissions are primarily used in rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive vehicles, enabling balanced chassis weight distribution and significantly enhancing handling performance.

Can I Use the Windshield Wipers After Tinting?

Yes, you can use the windshield wipers after tinting. Here is an introduction to the maintenance methods after tinting: 1. Do not roll down the windows: Avoid rolling down the windows for 3 days after tinting. 2. Do not clean the tint film: Do not clean the tint film or turn on the defroster switch for a week after tinting. Additionally, avoid using solutions containing alcohol or ammonia to clean the film surface. 3. Avoid sharp objects: Do not use sharp objects to lift the edges of the film. Also, avoid directing the air conditioner vents toward the film to prevent rapid thermal expansion and contraction. Note that expired tint film should be handled with care. High-quality films typically have a warranty period of 5 years. After the warranty period expires, car owners should not attempt to remove the film themselves and are advised to visit a specialized repair shop for adhesive removal. 4. Watch for bubbles: If bubbles appear after tinting, they must be addressed at the installation shop within 24 hours.

What Maintenance Is Needed at 25,000 Kilometers?

Maintenance items at 25,000 kilometers are as follows: 1. Air filter element: This mainly depends on the driving conditions. If frequently driven in clean environments, it can be replaced every 15,000 km. If road conditions are harsh, it must be replaced every 10,000 km. 2. Cabin air filter: The replacement cycle for the cabin air filter is 20,000 km, so it should be replaced at this time. 3. Tire rotation: At 20,000 km, tires should be rotated to ensure even wear, and tire pressure should be checked to reduce driving resistance. 4. In addition to regular oil changes, at 20,000 km, check the levels of coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and gear oil. 5. Wiper blades: At 20,000 km, check the wear condition of the wiper blades. 6. Battery: For lead-acid batteries, check the electrolyte level. If it's a maintenance-free battery, this step can be skipped.

Can Different Types of Engine Oil Be Mixed?

Engine oils from different brands cannot be mixed. Engine oils from different brands and grades are formulated with various additives tailored to the working characteristics and environmental requirements of different engines, resulting in differences in viscosity, anti-wear properties, corrosion resistance, anti-knock performance, and volatility. Mixing them may degrade the oil's performance and even cause damage to the engine. Here are the reasons why engine oils should not be mixed: 1. Mixing new and used oil reduces performance. New and used oils should not be mixed. Used oil contains a large amount of oxidative substances, and when mixed with new oil, it accelerates the oxidation and degradation of the new oil, thereby reducing its effectiveness and lifespan. 2. Mixing oils can cause turbidity. Oils from different brands and grades should not be mixed. The chemical additives in different brands and grades of oil may react with each other, reducing lubrication effectiveness and producing acidic or alkaline compounds that accelerate corrosion of engine components.

Which Pedal is the Accelerator?

Clutch pedal is on the far left, accelerator pedal is on the far right, and the brake pedal is in the middle. Here are the relevant details: 1. When the accelerator pedal is pressed, the throttle valve opening increases, allowing more air to enter the engine. At this point, the ECU commands the fuel injection system to inject more fuel, causing the engine speed to rise and the car to accelerate. Most modern vehicles use electronic throttle control, while older models used cable-operated throttle systems. 2. In electronic throttle systems, there is no physical connection between the accelerator pedal and the throttle valve. In contrast, cable-operated systems have a steel cable linking the two. Over time, carbon deposits can accumulate on the throttle valve, requiring periodic cleaning by car owners. 3. After cleaning the carbon deposits and reinstalling the throttle valve, it's necessary to perform an ECU reset. Otherwise, the engine may experience temporarily increased fuel consumption. The engine's ECU has strong adaptive learning capabilities - if carbon deposits are present, the ECU will adjust its control logic accordingly to manage the throttle valve with deposits.
