CVT transmissions require transmission fluid, and it needs to be replaced periodically. Transmission fluid is an oil product that keeps the shifting system clean, ensuring the transmission operates normally and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. If the transmission fluid deteriorates, turns black, becomes viscous, or develops an unusual odor, it should be replaced immediately. It is important to note that when changing the fluid, only the automatic transmission fluid specified by the manufacturer should be used. This is because different automatic transmissions have varying internal structures, friction components, and sealing components. Mixing two different fluids inside the transmission can degrade the performance of the transmission fluid, leading to issues such as poor lubrication or abnormal operation of the transmission.

What is the body weight of the Haval H6?

Great Wall Haval H6 with a 2.0L displacement has a body weight of 1520kg; Great Wall Haval H6 with a 2.0T displacement has a body weight of 1615kg. Here is an introduction about the Haval H6: 1. The Haval H6 is positioned as an urban SUV, and in terms of drive form, it offers both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes. 2. The H6 is built on a new platform different from the previous H3 and H5, with the main feature being the use of a monocoque body. The four-wheel drive version of the H6 uses a full-time four-wheel drive system, unlike the H3 and H5 which used a body-on-frame structure + part-time four-wheel drive system. While this may affect its off-road performance to some extent, the benefits include reduced body weight for better fuel economy and improved ride comfort. 3. Due to the new platform, the two-wheel drive version of the Haval H6 adopts front-wheel drive, which is also different from the rear-wheel drive mode used in the H3 and H5 two-wheel drive models.

How to Deal with Odor in Odyssey's Air Conditioning?

Methods to address the odor in Odyssey's air conditioning are as follows: 1. Use an automotive air conditioning duct cleaner: The cleaning method is quite simple. Park the car in an area with good air quality, turn on the external circulation, set the air conditioning to the natural ventilation mode, then spray the cleaner evenly into the air vents. After a few minutes, open the windows and turn on the air conditioning to thoroughly ventilate the car. 2. Utilize sunlight and UV rays to remove odor: For mild air conditioning odors, you can drive the car into the sunlight on a sunny day, set the air conditioning system to the warm air mode, and turn the fan to the maximum speed. With all doors and windows open, let the car sit for about ten minutes. This not only uses UV rays to disinfect the interior but also allows the hot air to thoroughly circulate and clear out any dirty air in the ducts. Tips to prevent moldy odors in the air conditioning: In the summer, before turning off the engine, turn off the air conditioning compressor in advance and switch the mode to external circulation. This allows hot air to dry any moisture in the air conditioning ducts, preventing bacteria growth and subsequent odors due to dampness.

Where to Check the Water Temperature Gauge on BMW X6?

BMW is not equipped with a water temperature gauge, so the water temperature cannot be viewed, and the exact temperature is unknown. If the water temperature is too high, a high-temperature warning will be displayed on the dashboard. The dashboard only has an oil temperature gauge, and an oil temperature between 100~120°C is considered normal. Here is some relevant information: 1. Car Dashboard: In addition to the odometer, tachometer, and fuel gauge, there is another gauge worth noting—the water temperature gauge. The water temperature refers to the engine coolant temperature, and if it is too high or too low, it indicates a problem. 2. Car Water Temperature Gauge: The car water temperature gauge usually has two letters, C and H, or uses white and red zones to differentiate. C stands for cold, and H stands for hot. If the gauge approaches the H or red danger zone, or if the water temperature warning light comes on, it indicates that the engine coolant temperature is too high.

Is It Dangerous to Remove the Car Seat Stopper?

Removing the car seat stopper is dangerous. Here are the specific details about the stopper: 1. Function: The car door stopper is designed to limit the degree to which the door can open. On one hand, it restricts the maximum opening angle of the door to prevent the door panel from hitting the car body when opened too wide. On the other hand, it can keep the door at a certain opening angle when needed. 2. Symptoms of Damage: Abnormal sensations can be felt when opening or closing the door if the stopper is damaged. If the door opens too wide or automatically closes, it may indicate that the door stopper is aging and its limiting effect is weakening. Unusual noises are also a sign of a damaged door stopper. Without proper lubrication over time, the door stopper is prone to wear and metal fatigue.
