Car maintenance is recommended every 5,000 to 7,000 kilometers. The maintenance items for a car include: replacement of engine oil and oil filter, air filter, gasoline filter, and pollen filter; maintenance and replacement of spark plugs; inspection and maintenance of related systems such as transmission oil. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. The replacement of engine oil and oil filter is mainly for the maintenance of the lubrication system. The main function of the lubrication system is to effectively lubricate various components of the car engine to prevent excessive wear. Inspection items such as brake fluid, transmission oil, battery, throttle, fuel injector, brake pads, etc., should be maintained and serviced according to usage conditions.

Can a dual-clutch transmission be driven in manual mode?

Dual-clutch transmissions can be operated in manual mode. Introduction to Dual-Clutch Transmission: A dual-clutch transmission (DCT) is a type of transmission mechanism. Unlike conventional automatic transmission systems, it combines the characteristics of both manual and automatic transmissions. In addition to offering the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic transmission, it also provides uninterrupted power output. Working Principle of Dual-Clutch Transmission: The dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT) is based on the structure of a manual transmission. However, unlike a manual transmission, the DCT features two clutches connected to two input shafts. Gear shifting and clutch operations are controlled by an integrated mechatronic module consisting of electronic and hydraulic components, eliminating the need for a clutch pedal.
