It is normal for a car to run 20,000 kilometers in a year. Definition of mileage: The car's mileage starts counting from zero when it leaves the factory, and there are at least two mileage readings. One is the total mileage, which is the total distance traveled from the factory to the present. It will always increase regardless of the environment and will not decrease. The other is the trip mileage, which can be reset midway. Many car owners use the trip mileage to calculate how far a full tank of fuel can take them. Precautions for driving: Facing the complex road traffic conditions composed of people, vehicles, roads, and the environment, the uncertainty and variability of these factors determine the randomness and unpredictability of traffic accidents. Therefore, drivers need to have a sharp and calm mind, as well as proficient driving skills, to ensure safe driving.

I drive 20 kilometers one way to commute every day, plus taking my kids to the suburbs on weekends, which adds up to about 20,000 kilometers a year. Most of my colleagues fall within the 15,000-20,000 kilometer range. However, during my last maintenance, I met a ride-hailing driver who had already driven 50,000 kilometers in just three months, with the rear seats' leather worn shiny. Honestly, there's no standard—it all depends on your lifestyle radius. My best friend lives near her workplace, and her car gathers dust, barely reaching 5,000 kilometers a year. Just remember to check your tires every 10,000 kilometers, unlike my neighbor who didn't notice until the treads were completely worn out.

What is the difference between 10w50 and 10w40?

Here are the specific differences between 10w40 and 10w50: Different viscosity: The number after 'w' represents the high-temperature viscosity of the engine oil. The larger the number, the higher the viscosity. Therefore, 10w50 engine oil has higher viscosity. Different usage periods: 10W40 is generally suitable for all seasons, while 10W50 is more suitable for large-displacement vehicles in summer. Different sealing properties: 10W50 has better sealing performance. Different fuel consumption: The higher the viscosity, the higher the fuel consumption. Therefore, 10W50 engines consume more fuel, while lower viscosity has the characteristic of saving fuel.

How to Maintain a Steady Speed in Subject 2?

Master the correct posture for pressing the clutch. First, place the ball of your foot on the clutch pedal with your heel resting on the ground as a support point. When the clutch is pressed to its lowest point, keep your knees slightly bent. While driving, women should avoid wearing high heels or thick-soled shoes, as these can hinder accurate perception of the clutch's position. Additionally, avoid pressing the pedal with just your toes or lifting your heel off the ground, as this may result in insufficient force. Students should be able to accurately sense the semi-engaged state of the clutch. Note: The semi-engagement position of the clutch varies from car to car—some require lifting it high, while others only need a slight lift for the car to move. When starting, slowly lift the clutch to the semi-engagement point, then release the brake until the car gradually moves forward.

What to Do When the Engine Sometimes Fails to Start?

If the engine sometimes fails to start, you can go to a 4S shop to remove carbon deposits from the vehicle. Below is relevant information about car engine maintenance: Use qualified lubricating oil: For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the oil and filter: To avoid malfunctions, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be moderate (generally up to the upper limit of the oil dipstick). Additionally, when the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to pass through the bypass valve and still carry contaminants back to the lubrication parts, accelerating engine wear and worsening internal pollution.
