Generally, a car should undergo a major maintenance service every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. The major maintenance items include: 1. Engine oil replacement: Engine oil lubricates and reduces friction in the engine, assists in cooling, prevents rust and corrosion, and acts as a shock absorber; 2. Oil filter replacement: The oil filter removes debris, gum, and moisture from the oil, delivering clean oil to various lubrication points. Over time, it can become clogged; 3. Air filter replacement: The air filter prevents dust and particles from entering the engine during the intake process. If the filter is not cleaned regularly, it can lead to dust entering the engine, causing abnormal wear on the cylinder walls; 4. Cabin air filter replacement: If the cabin air filter is not cleaned or replaced for a long time, it can not only contaminate the car's air conditioning system and reduce cooling performance but also affect the health and safety of the passengers.

What Causes the Engine Radiator to Boil Over?

Engine radiator boil-over can be caused by: 1. Insufficient coolant level; 2. Radiator blockage leading to poor circulation or backflow; 3. Coolant leakage obstructing water circulation; 4. Malfunctioning thermostat in small/large circulation conversion; 5. Damaged cooling fan or short circuit causing fan failure/slow rotation; 6. Faulty fan temperature sensor. The radiator's function is: When engine temperature rises, the water pump circulates coolant to lower engine temperature for protection. In winter when coolant temperature drops, circulation stops to prevent excessive engine cooling.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Honda CR-V 2.0?

The combined fuel consumption of the Honda CR-V 2.0 is 4.9-5.6L/100km. Currently, there are 8 models of the Honda CR-V 2.0 available for sale. The fuel consumption for the two-wheel-drive Jingxing, Jingsu, and Jingchi versions is 4.9L/100km. The two-wheel-drive Jingheijueshi and Jingzhi versions have a fuel consumption of 5.2L/100km. The four-wheel-drive Jingcheng version consumes 5.4L/100km, while the four-wheel-drive Jingheijueshi and Jingxiang versions consume 5.6L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 4.9-5.9L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not vaporize easily during a cold start, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
