It is recommended to watch the entire car maintenance process at a 4S shop. This not only allows you to observe the quality of the work but also helps you understand the condition of your car and learn some basic automotive knowledge. Most 4S shops now allow car owners to watch nearby, and some even have surveillance videos in the rest area, enabling owners to monitor the maintenance progress while seated comfortably. Additional tips for car maintenance at a 4S shop include: 1. Speak less if unsure: Unless there is a fault or doubt, avoid unnecessary comments to prevent being misled or persuaded to replace parts prematurely. 2. Maintenance intervals: Follow the approximate maintenance mileage indicated in the car manual. 3. Part replacement: Many 4S shops may suggest replacing certain parts earlier than necessary. Refer to the replacement cycles in the manual and make decisions based on your actual car usage.

What is the difference between a car radiator and windshield washer fluid?

Introduction to the difference between antifreeze and windshield washer fluid for cars: 1. Antifreeze can prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block when the car is parked in cold seasons. However, it is important to correct a misunderstanding: antifreeze is not only for winter use, it should be used all year round. In regular car maintenance, the engine antifreeze should be replaced every year. 2. "Windshield washer fluid" is the common name for car windshield cleaning fluid. It is a consumable item in car use. High-quality car windshield washer fluid is mainly composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. Car windshield washer fluid is commonly known as glass water (i.e., windshield cleaner).

What is the typical fuel tank capacity of a car?

Generally, small cars have a fuel tank capacity of 35-45 liters, while medium-sized cars have a capacity of 55-75 liters. A full tank typically allows for a driving range of around 500 kilometers. The size of the fuel tank correlates with the vehicle's displacement and fuel consumption; vehicles with higher fuel consumption tend to have larger tanks, and those with lower consumption have smaller ones. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by car manufacturers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, leaving some space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is near E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means the tank is sufficiently full.
