When the vehicle prompts an oil change, you can typically drive for about 10,000 kilometers. The method for changing the oil is as follows: 1. Start the vehicle's engine to warm it up; 2. Loosen the oil drain bolt; 3. Remove the oil filter; 4. Apply new oil to the gasket of the new oil filter; 5. Pour the new oil into the oil pan; 6. Check for leaks under the engine, inspect the oil dipstick, and start the engine for testing. Precautions for changing the oil include: 1. Perform the oil change while the engine is warm to ensure the old oil is drained as thoroughly as possible; 2. Add the new oil and ensure the amount is appropriate; 3. After adding the oil, start the engine and check for any leaks. Run the engine for 3 minutes to confirm the oil level is within the normal range.

What are the new highway speed limit regulations in 2020?

The new highway speed limit regulations in 2020 include the following: For speeding violations where the speed does not exceed 10% of the limit on highways, a warning will be issued without fines or penalty points; for speeding violations where the speed does not exceed 50% of the limit on roads with a design speed below 60 km/h, a warning will be issued without fines or penalty points; on highways, speeding violations where the speed is below 100 km/h, or below 80 km/h on bridges, tunnels, and construction zones, will not be penalized if they do not cause traffic accidents. Article 78 of the "Implementing Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states: Highways shall indicate the speed limits for each lane. The maximum speed shall not exceed 120 km/h, and the minimum speed shall not be less than 60 km/h. On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger vehicles shall not exceed 120 km/h, for other motor vehicles it shall not exceed 100 km/h, and for motorcycles it shall not exceed 80 km/h. On roads with two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane shall be 100 km/h; on roads with three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane shall be 110 km/h, and for the middle lane it shall be 90 km/h. If the speed limit indicated by road signs differs from the above lane speed regulations, drivers shall follow the speed limit indicated by the road signs. The potential hazards of high-speed driving are as follows: Increased reaction distance. When a vehicle is traveling at 60 km/h, the average person's reaction time from recognizing danger to applying the brakes is approximately 0.7 to 1.0 seconds, with a reaction distance of about 17 meters (free travel distance). At 120 km/h, the reaction distance increases to about 39 meters (free travel distance), doubling the distance. Reduced reaction ability. At high speeds, the driver's focus tends to be farther ahead, narrowing the field of vision. Objects outside the window pass by quickly, and it takes about 0.4 seconds to sense a target and an average of 1 second to clearly identify it. In dangerous situations, there may not be enough time to judge and take emergency measures. Extended braking distance. As speed increases, the vehicle's braking performance decreases, the friction coefficient drops, and the braking distance lengthens, making it harder to stop the vehicle in time. Additionally, higher speeds increase vehicle vibration and jolting, affecting safe driving. Worsened accident consequences. The kinetic energy of a moving object is proportional to its mass and the square of its speed. Experiments show that a vehicle hitting a concrete wall at 60 km/h is equivalent to falling from a height of 14 meters (5 stories). A collision at 100 km/h is equivalent to falling from 39 meters (13 stories), with very severe consequences.

What kind of oil is generally used for the Buick Excelle?

Buick Excelle generally uses 5w30 oil. The functions of the oil are: 1. To alleviate friction and high temperatures; 2. To reduce gas leakage and prevent external pollutants; 3. To prevent contact between water, air, acidic harmful gases, and parts; 4. To buffer the pressure rise at the engine cylinder port; 5. To flush away dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts. The Buick Excelle has a length, width, and height of 4468mm, 1765mm, and 1469mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2611mm. The front suspension of the Buick Excelle is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a compound torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 79kW and a maximum torque of 133Nm.

Can China 5 vehicles still be licensed now?

In regions where the China 6 standard has not been implemented yet, China 5 vehicles can still be licensed as usual. However, in areas where the China 6 standard has already been implemented, China 5 vehicles are not allowed to be licensed. The following are the differences between China 5 and China 6: 1. Different implementation times: The China 5 standard has been implemented nationwide since January 1, 2017, as the fifth-stage national motor vehicle emission standard. The China 6 standard has been implemented since July 1, 2019. 2. Different emission requirements: The carbon monoxide content of the China 5 standard is 1000mg per kilometer; the carbon monoxide content of the China 6 standard is 500mg per kilometer.

What to Do If Your Driver's License Points Exceed 12?

If your driver's license points exceed 12, the solution is: The driver must participate in road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge training within 15 days of receiving the notice. Within 20 days after completing the training, the driver must retake the subject one exam. If the exam is passed, the points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. If the exam is failed, the driver must retake the training and exam. A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal document issued by the management authorities to individuals who have legally learned to drive a motor vehicle, mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the required exams, permitting them to drive a certain type of motor vehicle.

What is the purpose of wheel alignment for cars?

The functions of wheel alignment for cars are: 1. Helps the vehicle maintain stable straight-line driving; 2. Makes steering easier and reduces wear on tires and steering components during driving; 3. Enhances driving comfort; 4. Reduces fuel consumption; 5. Extends tire lifespan and ensures straight-line stability of the vehicle; 6. Reduces wear on chassis suspension components and improves driving safety. Situations that require wheel alignment include: 1. Damage to the chassis and suspension caused by accidents; 2. Replacement of the steering system and its components; 3. Uneven wear on one side of the front or rear tires; 4. Replacement or adjustment of the suspension system; 5. The vehicle pulling to the left or right when driving straight.

How to Repair a Flood-Damaged Car?

Depending on the extent of water ingress, various components may need inspection, repair, replacement, or cleaning of accumulated water and debris. Here are specific methods: 1. For vehicles slightly flooded but still able to start normally: Remove and clean seats and carpets, then dry them; inspect fluids for routine maintenance. 2. For severely flooded vehicles with uncertain starting capability: Since the water level is high, the possibility of engine water ingress cannot be ruled out, necessitating disassembly, inspection, and cleaning. Components to be disassembled include the intake manifold, fuel injectors, ignition coils, spark plugs, airbag control module, air filter housing, throttle body, and other water-affected parts.
