The replacement interval for engine oil is between 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers or every six months to a year. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To separate the surfaces of relatively sliding parts and reduce wear. 2. To carry heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air, helping the radiator cool the engine. 3. To circulate carbon deposits, sludge, and wear particles from engine parts back to the oil tank, flushing away dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts through the flow of the lubricating oil. The method for changing engine oil is: 1. Use a jack to lift the vehicle. 2. Drain the old oil. 3. Remove the oil filter. 4. Install a new oil filter and refill with new oil.

How Long Is the Warranty for Window Tinting at 4S Stores?

Currently, the general warranty period for automotive window tinting is five years. Precautions for window tinting: When applying window tint, it is essential to choose high-quality tint film and have it installed by a professional shop. Low-quality tint films may fail to meet light transmittance standards, which can affect the driver's visibility during nighttime driving. It is not recommended to apply tint film to the front windshield, as this may impair the driver's field of vision. When tinting the side windows of the driver and front passenger doors, two sections should be left untinted to ensure the driver has a clear view of the side mirrors. After the tint is applied, avoid rolling the windows up or down, as this may cause the film to peel off. Usage duration of window tint: Generally, automotive window tint can last for about three years. After removing the tint film, a significant amount of adhesive residue may remain on the glass. Before attempting to remove this adhesive, it is important to soften it first to facilitate removal. Scraping the adhesive without softening it may leave scratches on the glass. After softening the adhesive with alcohol or essential balm, use a plastic scraper to remove it. Avoid using hard metal tools to scrape off the adhesive.

How to Control the Rear Wiper of Borgward Cars?

The rear wiper is turned off by default. You can activate the rear window wiper by pushing the wiper lever backward (pressing down to the first gear). Lifting the wiper lever will activate the front wiper's water spray, while pressing the wiper lever down to the second gear will activate the rear wiper's water spray. The operation method for turning on the front wiper is "pushing the wiper lever forward and backward," which is slightly different from the operation method for turning on the rear wiper.

What are the correct steps for using the BMW X1 electronic parking brake?

When pulling the parking brake, the buckle on the parking brake head will move back and forth, with a spring inside exerting force to prolong the service life of the spring and the small buckle. Do not pull the parking brake up abruptly. Gently and smoothly pull up the parking brake in one continuous motion, and you can clearly hear the parking brake clicking one notch at a time. There is no difference in the fixed effect between pulling the parking brake 100% and 70%. Frequently pulling the parking brake to its highest point will shorten the service life of the parking brake cable.
