Automatic transmission fluid should be changed every 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. The replacement interval is determined by either mileage or time, whichever comes first. Hazards of not changing transmission fluid for a long time: 1. Failure to change transmission fluid for an extended period can lead to abnormal wear and severe oil degradation in the transmission; 2. Prolonged lack of transmission fluid changes can cause the fluid to age and deteriorate, not only increasing vehicle fuel consumption but also shortening the transmission's service life; 3. Not changing transmission fluid for a long time can cause the fluid in the transmission to become granular, blocking oil passages and damaging the valve body, directly affecting system oil pressure and power transmission, resulting in delayed response and gear shift shocks in the transmission.

How Long Does a Car Fuel Pump Generally Last?

There is no specific time frame. As long as it is not damaged and there are no abnormal noises, it does not need to be replaced and can be used indefinitely. Below is some related information about the engine oil pump: 1. The function of the oil pump: The oil pump's role is to raise the oil to a certain pressure and then forcibly deliver it to the moving surfaces of the engine's various components. Oil pumps are increasingly being used in internal combustion engines. Additionally, they play a certain role in fields such as semiconductors, solar energy, and LCD engineering. 2. The structure of the oil pump: The structural forms of oil pumps can be divided into two categories: gear-type and rotor-type. Gear-type oil pumps are further divided into internal gear-type and external gear-type, with the latter generally referred to as gear-type oil pumps.

What is the working principle of a dual-clutch transmission?

Dual-clutch transmission works by always having two gears engaged during operation, with one gear currently in use and the other prepared for the next shift. Below is an introduction to the working principle of a dual-clutch transmission: The DCT transmission contains two automatically controlled clutches. When in an odd-numbered gear, clutch 1 engages, and one set of gears meshes to transmit power. Before shifting to the next gear, the next set of meshing gears is preselected, while the associated clutch 2 remains disengaged. When shifting to the next gear, the currently engaged clutch 1 disengages, disconnecting the active gear from power, while clutch 2 engages, allowing the preselected gear to start transmitting power and shifting into the next gear. Throughout the shifting process, the two clutches alternate, ensuring that at least one set of gears is transmitting power, preventing any interruption in power delivery. This combines the functions of two manual transmissions into one and integrates them into a single system.

Can I rent a car with a newly obtained driver's license?

C1 driver's license holders in the probationary period can rent cars from rental companies. As long as you have a driver's license, you are eligible to rent and drive a car. However, you cannot drive on highways during the probationary period. Precautions for new drivers: 1. Maintain a good driving mindset: People are prone to making wrong judgments when they are very flustered. The "stepping on the wrong pedal" incidents reported in the news are due to this reason. 2. Obey traffic laws: According to statistics, over 80% of traffic accidents are caused by one party violating the rules.

Defogging in Winter: Using Cold Air or Hot Air?

In winter, both cold air and hot air can be used to eliminate fogging. Here are detailed introductions to the two methods: 1. Cold Air Defogging: Turn on the air conditioning cold air, press the A/C button, adjust the air vent direction to blow towards the windshield, and set the fan speed to the maximum position. This can reduce the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the windshield, making it less likely for fog to form and achieving the effect of eliminating fog. This method is suitable for emergency quick defogging. 2. Hot Air Defogging: Hot air takes longer to defog than cold air, but using hot air can prevent the windshield from fogging up again.

What is the purpose of an oil tanker?

An oil tanker refers to a liquid cargo transport vessel used for carrying bulk petroleum or refined oil. The following is a related introduction about oil tankers: 1. Manhole hatches: Cargo is loaded and unloaded through pipelines using oil pumps, so there are no cargo handling equipment or large cargo hatches on the deck, but manhole hatches are installed. 2. The engine room must be located at the stern: Due to the volatile, flammable, and explosive nature of petroleum, strict fire safety requirements are imposed. The 1978 Protocol of the International Maritime Organization stipulates that newly built oil tankers with a deadweight of over 20,000 tons must have inert gas explosion-proof facilities, and the engine room must be located at the stern. 3. Transverse bulkhead separation: The cargo oil tanks are separated by multiple longitudinal bulkheads and transverse bulkheads to reduce the impact of free liquid surfaces on stability. 4. Large length-to-depth ratio of the hull: The bending moment is large, so a longitudinal framing structure is often used to increase longitudinal strength.

Do You Need to Press the Clutch When Shifting to Neutral?

Shifting to neutral does not require pressing the clutch. Here is some relevant information about shifting to neutral: 1. Precautions: While the vehicle is moving, you cannot shift directly to neutral without pressing the clutch. 2. Reason: Shifting gears without pressing the clutch can easily damage the gears and the transmission, even when shifting to neutral. 3. Consequences: Not pressing the clutch all the way down prevents the clutch from fully disengaging, causing the engine and the first shaft of the transmission to remain partially connected. This intermittent connection can lead to noise during gear shifts and is particularly likely to damage the gears. 4. Correct Practice: Always shift gears completely and make sure to press the clutch all the way down when shifting.
