Automatic transmission fluid should be changed approximately every 80,000 kilometers for automatic transmission cars, while some automatic transmission vehicles require a change every 60,000 kilometers. Regularly changing the transmission fluid during daily use is essential to prolong the service life of the automatic transmission. Both automatic and manual transmissions require the use of transmission fluid. There are three common types of automatic transmissions in cars: CVT transmissions, dual-clutch transmissions, and AT transmissions. The dual-clutch transmission simply adds an extra set of clutches and a set of gear-shifting control mechanisms compared to manual transmissions. One set of clutches in this transmission controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other set controls the even-numbered gears. CVT transmissions offer relatively smooth gear shifting. AT transmissions are automatic transmissions with complex structures and mature technology.

At What Speed Should You Shift to 5th Gear?

Fifth gear is for high-speed driving, generally above 60 mph. Start in 1st gear below 10 mph, shift to 2nd gear once moving, then shift to 3rd gear when speed exceeds 20 mph. Third gear is for speeds above 20 mph but below 40 mph, fourth gear requires reaching 40 mph, and fifth gear is for high-speed driving, typically above 60 mph. Shifting gears is not based on speed but rather on engine RPM. Generally, when in fourth gear, if the engine RPM exceeds 2000, you can shift into fifth gear. If the engine sounds sluggish, it means it can't handle the load, and you should downshift to increase torque. If the engine is revving loudly, you should upshift to reduce engine torque at the same speed. For cars with an engine displacement above 1.3L, the optimal speed to shift into fifth gear during acceleration is between 70–75 km/h. Shifting at this speed keeps the engine RPM between 2000–3000, balancing both power and fuel efficiency. Shifting below this RPM range significantly affects performance due to the power-RPM characteristics of modern car engines.

Can I Apply for a Formal License Plate Immediately After Obtaining a Temporary One?

After receiving the vehicle registration certificate, if you selected your license plate number through the "ten-choose-one" method, you can directly collect the vehicle license plate. If you chose your license plate number through the other two methods, the plate is generally produced within fifteen working days, and you can choose to collect it yourself or have it delivered via EMS courier. Relevant information about vehicle license plates is as follows: Introduction 1: Vehicle license plates are hard-numbered plates with a unified format and style as stipulated by national vehicle management regulations. They are issued by vehicle management authorities after reviewing, inspecting, and registering vehicles that have applied for license plates. Introduction 2: Vehicle license plates are the abbreviated term for the license plate and the vehicle driving license. The "Urban and Highway Traffic Management Rules (Trial)" issued in 1972 renamed the driving license as the vehicle registration certificate. Vehicle license plates generally come in two pieces, installed on the front and rear of the vehicle at designated positions as required. Introduction 3: Vehicle license plates are the legal certificates permitting vehicles to drive on the road. They serve as proof for road traffic management departments, public security management departments, and the general public to monitor vehicle driving conditions, identify, remember, and locate vehicles.

What does the MAX button mean in a Mercedes-Benz car?

"MAX" stands for "maximum." When the MAX button on the car's air conditioning system is activated, it represents the strongest cooling mode. For example, after turning on the A/C (air conditioning) switch and pressing the MAX button, the air conditioning will operate at its maximum cooling capacity with the blower output at its highest. The purpose is to lower the temperature inside the car as quickly as possible. The MAX function is often mistakenly thought to be related to the air recirculation or fresh air mode, but it is not. Although they are located close to each other, they serve different functions. The term "max" can be found not only on air conditioning control buttons but also on various fluid reservoirs in the engine compartment. Here, "max" also carries the meaning of "maximum" or "highest," sometimes simply denoted by "M." The "max" marking on fluid reservoirs indicates the upper limit for the fluid level—the highest point the fluid level should reach without exceeding the line corresponding to "max." Naturally, there is also a lower limit, often marked as "low" (or "min" in some vehicles), indicating the minimum fluid level. The fluid level should not drop below the line corresponding to "low." This is most evident in the overflow tank (i.e., the radiator). The optimal fluid level is between the upper and lower limits.
