It is recommended to change the gear oil every 60,000 kilometers for a new car. Below are the specific details about gear oil: 1. Composition: Gear oil is primarily made from petroleum lubricating base oil or synthetic lubricating oil, mixed with extreme pressure anti-wear agents and oiliness agents to form an important type of lubricating oil. 2. Function: It is used in various gear transmission devices to prevent gear surface wear, scuffing, sintering, etc., thereby extending their service life and improving power transmission efficiency. 3. Characteristics: Gear oil should have excellent anti-wear and load-bearing properties, along with appropriate viscosity. Additionally, it should possess good thermal oxidation stability, anti-foaming properties, water separation performance, and rust prevention capabilities.

What are the reasons for the Audi Q5 sunroof not closing and the rear axle?

The following are the specific reasons for the Audi Q5 sunroof not closing and the rear axle: 1. Lack of lubrication: The main maintenance for the sunroof is the lubrication of the sliding track. If lubrication is insufficient, over time there may be abnormal noises, poor movement, incomplete closure, or even jamming and displacement, which can burn out the motor. Additionally, check if the fuse for the electric sunroof is blown. If the fuse is intact, check whether the electric sunroof switch is functioning properly. 2. Drive motor not working: Inspect whether the drive motor of the electric sunroof is operational and if there is any sound from the motor working. 3. Deformed or rusted sliding channel: If the sliding channel is deformed or rusted, lubrication may be poor. You can first tilt the rear of the sunroof upward, then hold the switch for about 1 minute before attempting to close the sunroof.

How to Solve the Squeaking Noise When Opening and Closing Car Doors?

Here are the causes and solutions for the squeaking noise when opening and closing car doors: 1. Worn Door Hinges: Wipe off the dust with a cloth or tissue, then use a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of lubricating oil to repeatedly apply it to the hinge and the red-circled area of the door limiter. Open and close the door repeatedly, and repeat the steps of applying oil and opening/closing the door until the noise disappears. Avoid applying too much lubricating oil to prevent contamination of other door parts. If the issue persists, it may be due to wear and tear, requiring replacement of new hinges and limiters. 2. Aging Door Seals: Check if the door seals are aging. Seals are rubber products, so regularly clean the dust and rainwater between the seal gaps to prevent aging. Since sand and dust can easily accumulate in the seal gaps, use a brush to clean them frequently, then apply a layer of highly permeable protective agent to prevent seal aging. If the seals are severely damaged or significantly aged, they need to be replaced with new ones.

How to Adjust Left and Right Rearview Mirrors for Optimal View?

Here are the specific methods for adjusting the left and right rearview mirrors: 1. Adjusting the left rearview mirror: For the up and down positions, place the distant horizon in the center, and for the left and right positions, adjust so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area. Key points for adjusting the left rearview mirror: Position the horizon at the midline of the mirror, then adjust the edge of the car body to occupy 1/4 of the mirror's image. 2. Adjusting the right rearview mirror: Since the driver's seat is on the left, it's more challenging for the driver to grasp the situation on the right side of the car. Additionally, due to the need for roadside parking sometimes, when adjusting the up and down positions of the right rearview mirror, a larger ground area should be left, occupying about 2/3 of the mirror. As for the left and right positions, adjust similarly so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area. Key points for adjusting the right rearview mirror: Position the horizon at the 2/3 point of the mirror, then adjust the edge of the car body to occupy 1/4 of the mirror's image.

What are the causes and solutions for the lack of cooling in the Buick Excelle's air conditioning?

Here are the specific causes and solutions for the lack of cooling in the Buick Excelle's air conditioning: 1. Insufficient or low refrigerant: This may be caused by a small refrigerant leak. You can observe this through the sight glass on the dryer. When the air conditioning is running normally, if there are continuous slow bubbles in the sight glass, it indicates insufficient refrigerant. If there are obvious bubble flips, it indicates severe refrigerant shortage. In this case, simply adding refrigerant will solve the problem. 2. Loose drive belt of the car air conditioning compressor: If the drive belt is loose, the compressor will slip during operation, leading to reduced transmission efficiency and a decrease in compressor speed. This results in reduced refrigerant compression and delivery, causing the car air conditioning to not cool. If the compressor drive belt is too loose, it should be tightened. If it cannot be turned by hand, it indicates the belt is too tight and should be loosened slightly. If tightening is ineffective or the drive belt shows cracks, aging, or other damage, it should be replaced with a new one.

What does hybrid car mean?

Hybrid cars refer to vehicles equipped with two or more power sources, also known as composite power vehicles. Below is a detailed introduction to the types of hybrid vehicles: 1. Parallel hybrid: This configuration uses the engine as the main power source with an electric motor as the auxiliary power source. 2. Series-parallel hybrid: This system relies solely on the electric motor for low-speed driving, while the engine and electric motor work together at higher speeds. 3. Series hybrid: This type uses only the electric motor to drive the vehicle. The components of hybrid vehicles include: battery, fuel cell, solar cell, and internal combustion engine generator.

What is the difference between headlights and low beams?

Here are the specific differences between headlights and low beams: 1. Conceptual aspect: Headlights refer to the lighting devices installed on both sides of the front of a car, used for illuminating the road during nighttime driving. Low beams fall within the category of headlights, as both low beams and high beams are types of headlights. 2. Usage aspect: Headlights must be turned on whenever driving at night, while low beams have an illumination range of approximately 30-40 meters. There are specific requirements for using low beams: they must be turned on when driving in areas without streetlights at night, during dusk when it's darker or at dawn when light is just appearing, as well as during heavy fog, snowfall, or heavy rain when visibility is obstructed—even during daytime.
