Every 5,000 kilometers, the engine oil should be changed. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Functions of engine oil: The main functions of engine oil are lubrication, cleaning, and heat dissipation. In fact, many parts of a vehicle use oil, but the oil that needs to be changed every 5,000 kilometers refers to the engine oil. Most people generally use semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil, while conventional oil is rarely used. Conventional oil is typically used in agricultural machinery, three-wheeled vehicles, and motorcycles. 2. Replacement intervals: Conventional oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil every 7,500 kilometers, and fully synthetic oil can go up to 10,000 kilometers before requiring maintenance.

How many years can a normal car battery last?

Normal car batteries can last 2 to 4 years. Car batteries are divided into maintenance-free batteries and regular batteries (lead-acid batteries). Currently, most car models use maintenance-free batteries, while many Japanese cars use regular batteries. The electrodes of regular batteries are made of lead and lead oxide, with the electrolyte being a sulfuric acid solution, and their lifespan is generally about 2 years. Therefore, replacing them every two years is reasonable. Maintenance-free batteries are relatively more durable and usually need to be replaced every 3 years. To extend the battery's lifespan, regular maintenance is required, along with good driving habits. When the electrolyte is insufficient, the battery won't hold a charge, so it's necessary to replenish it promptly.

What causes a car to stall immediately after starting?

The reasons why a car stalls immediately after starting are: 1. The vehicle's anti-theft system is triggered, locking the engine; 2. Ignition switch failure, caused by poor contact of internal contacts in the ignition switch, where the ignition line has power during startup but loses power when the key is released; 3. Damage to the ignition module or the ignition reference signal line from the ignition module to the engine computer; 4. Too low fuel system pressure, such as low fuel pump pressure, fuel line leakage, small supply current, or damaged fuel pressure regulator; 5. Additionally, if the fuel pump does not pump fuel, the same phenomenon occurs during the first dozen or so startups—the car can start but stalls immediately afterward.

How to Turn on the Car Air Conditioning in Summer?

To turn on the car air conditioning in summer, follow these steps: After starting the vehicle, press the AC button and turn the knob toward the blue direction. Blue indicates cool air, while red indicates warm air—choose the correct setting. Regarding fan speed, the higher the gear, the stronger the wind speed. The car air conditioning is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the vehicle to the optimal state, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers and reducing travel fatigue. Things to note when using the air conditioning: 1. Do not rush to turn on the air conditioning—if it is turned on immediately after starting the car, it will increase the engine load and cause damage. 2. Adjust the air vents upward to maximize the air conditioning effect. 3. Do not sleep in the car with the air conditioning on when the engine is turned off.
