I drive a Buick Envision 2.0T model. Every time I change the engine oil during maintenance, the oil quantity is about 5.7 liters. Using fully synthetic oil can last up to 10,000 kilometers. Choosing engine oil should not be taken lightly. I usually use the 5W-30 specification, and the brand depends on the situation—Mobil or Shell are both good, mainly to prevent engine overheating. When changing the oil, pay attention to the accurate measurement. Too much or too little will affect performance. Too little will lead to insufficient lubrication and easy piston wear; too much may cause leakage, foaming, and power loss. It is recommended to check every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers to see if the oil level is within the normal range. In winter, when the temperature is low, you may need to use a little more oil. In short, following the owner's manual is the safest. The Envision's engine is quite sturdy. Maintaining it with this oil quantity basically ensures no problems and can also save fuel.

Can I Replace Just One Car Tire?

It is possible to replace just one car tire, but the new tire must have a tread groove depth close to that of the other tire on the same axle. Otherwise, it may cause issues such as vehicle deviation. Tires on the same axle should be of the same specification, structure, manufacturer, and tread pattern, including load index and speed rating. It is recommended to replace at least two tires and install them on the same axle. Below is additional information: Replacing a problematic tire: If the car is new and has not been driven much, you only need to replace the problematic tire, as the tires on the same axle will have similar wear. Replacing a pair of tires: If the tires have been driven for tens of thousands of kilometers but do not yet need replacement, and only one tire has an issue, replacing just one tire can cause uneven height, vehicle bumpiness, or deviation at higher speeds. Therefore, in such cases, it is best to replace a pair of tires.

What Causes the ABS and EPS Lights to Illuminate?

ABS and EPS lights may illuminate due to faults in components such as wheel speed sensors, ABS wiring, ABS pump, pressure modulation solenoid valves, or the ABS control module. How ABS Works: During braking, the ABS system rapidly determines wheel lock-up status based on speed signals from each wheel speed sensor. It then closes the normally open inlet valve for the locking wheel to maintain braking force. If the wheel continues to lock, the normally closed outlet valve opens, allowing brake fluid to return directly to the reservoir through the pipeline, rapidly reducing braking pressure on that wheel to prevent complete lock-up. This keeps braking at the optimal point (20% slip ratio S), achieving maximum braking effectiveness and driving safety. Functions of ABS: 1. Maximizes brake effectiveness, reducing braking time and distance. 2. Effectively prevents vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability. 3. Allows steering during emergency braking, maintaining good steering control. 4. Avoids severe friction between tires and road surface, reducing tire wear.

How Long Does a Car Compressor Last?

Car air conditioning compressors typically have the same warranty period as the vehicle body warranty, which is generally three years or 100,000 kilometers. If the compressor experiences quality issues within the warranty period, it can be repaired or replaced. Below is additional information: Introduction: The air conditioning compressor plays a role in compressing and driving the refrigerant within the air conditioning refrigerant circuit. The compressor is usually installed in the outdoor unit. It extracts refrigerant from the low-pressure area, compresses it, and sends it to the high-pressure area for cooling and condensation. Heat is dissipated into the air through the radiator, and the refrigerant changes from a gaseous to a liquid state, with increased pressure. Working Circuit: The working circuit of the air conditioning compressor is divided into the evaporation zone (low-pressure area) and the condensation zone (high-pressure area). The indoor and outdoor units of the air conditioner belong to the low-pressure or high-pressure area, respectively (depending on the operating state). The refrigerant then flows from the high-pressure area to the low-pressure area, where it is sprayed into the evaporator through the capillary tube. The pressure drops sharply, and the liquid refrigerant immediately turns into a gaseous state, absorbing a large amount of heat from the air through the radiator.

Should You Use Internal or External Air Circulation on Rainy Days?

On rainy days, it is recommended to use the external air circulation in your car. Cold weather during rain can cause fogging on both side windows, obstructing the driver's view. Therefore, it is best to first use the external air circulation and adjust the airflow direction towards the windshield. Using external circulation helps expel the moisture exhaled by passengers from the vehicle, while the outside cold air is less prone to condensation. Important Notes: Note 1: When the outside air quality is poor or heavily polluted, such as on dusty roads, in congested traffic, or near chemical plants where there are unpleasant odors or fumes, use internal circulation to prevent the poor outside air from entering the car. Note 2: In summer, to quickly cool down the interior with air conditioning, you can use internal circulation. Note 3: In winter, using internal circulation can help keep the interior warmer.

Can I Transfer to Another Driving School?

Driving schools do not allow transfers because motor vehicle driver training operates on a credit hour system, with fees reasonably charged based on the hours completed. Below are the relevant requirements and regulations for motor vehicle driver training: Pre-service Training: Motor vehicle driver training institutions must provide instructors with pre-service training covering road traffic safety laws and regulations, safe and civilized driving knowledge, teaching abilities, etc. Pre-service training must be no less than 36 credit hours. Off-the-job Training: Strengthen the professional ethics education of instructors and provide continuing education on new driving knowledge and technologies. Instructors must undergo at least 12 credit hours of off-the-job continuing education per year to enhance their professional quality. Supervision and Inspection: Motor vehicle driver training institutions should strengthen the supervision and inspection of instructors' teaching conditions, regularly evaluate instructors' teaching levels, teaching performance, and professional ethics, publish rankings of instructors' teaching quality, and urge instructors to improve teaching quality.

How many points will be deducted for overloading 2 people in a 5-seater car?

A 5-seater car overloaded with 2 people is considered to exceed 20% of the capacity, resulting in 3 penalty points and a fine. For non-commercial small passenger vehicles, exceeding the approved passenger capacity by less than 20% results in 2 penalty points and a fine, while exceeding 20% or more results in 3 penalty points and a fine. Below are the hazards of overloading: Shortens the vehicle's lifespan and accelerates component aging: Overloading alters the original design specifications. For example, it can cause rivets to loosen, fastening screws to fall off, welding points to break, and the overall frame to deform. Overloading reduces the vehicle's lifespan and accelerates the aging of rubber and plastic components. Accelerates tire wear and deformation: Car tires are designed and manufactured based on the vehicle's total weight, with a considerable safety margin. However, when the vehicle is overloaded, the tires bear excessive weight and deform. Increased friction also shortens tire lifespan. Tests show that overloading by 20% reduces tire lifespan by 30%, while overloading by 40% reduces it by 50%. Accelerates engine damage: Overloading causes significant damage to the engine. The increased load leads to insufficient power. Prolonged low-speed driving causes the engine to overheat, exacerbating component damage. It also increases fuel consumption and transportation costs. Heavier steering and increased centrifugal force affect vehicle handling: Overloading increases centrifugal force during turns, reducing driving stability and increasing the risk of accidents. Reduces braking performance and increases unsafe stopping distance: Many factors affect braking distance, and changes in vehicle load directly influence it. When a loaded vehicle brakes, the load shifts forward, increasing the load on the front wheels and reducing it on the rear wheels. This alters ground adhesion and consequently changes the braking distance. A fully loaded vehicle decelerates slower than an empty one. Shortens leaf spring lifespan and reduces vehicle maneuverability: Overloading places excessive stress on leaf springs, causing continuous rebound during operation, which shortens their lifespan. Excessive load also lowers the vehicle body, reducing ground clearance and the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles.
