Small car transmission fluid replacement quantities vary depending on the method: manual fluid change requires 4 to 6 liters; using a fluid exchange machine requires 9 to 12 liters. Different vehicle models have different replacement intervals. Below are the recommended transmission fluid change cycles: Manual transmission: Manual transmission fluid is generally recommended to be replaced every 3 years or approximately 100,000 kilometers. Automatic transmission: Automatic transmission fluid is typically recommended for replacement every 2 years or about 40,000 kilometers. Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): CVT fluid is usually suggested for replacement every 2 years or around 60,000 kilometers. The transmission fluid replacement methods are as follows: Loosen the drain screw at the bottom of the transmission to drain the old fluid before refilling. Directly remove the transmission oil pan for draining and refilling: This method provides more thorough replacement than the previous one by removing impurities accumulated at the pan's bottom. Automatic transmission fluid exchange using a circulation machine: The intelligent circulation machine performs dynamic fluid exchange, filtering and cleaning sludge and contaminants within the automatic transmission system.

How Long Can a Car Sit Before the Battery Dies?

If a car is left unused for more than three months, the battery will likely be completely drained. Typically, even if a car is not driven for half a month, the battery will still have some charge, but the voltage will have dropped, making it harder to start the vehicle. If the car remains parked for over three months, the battery will almost entirely lose its charge. The rate of power consumption is somewhat related to the manufacturing process of the battery. Car batteries, also known as storage batteries, are a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Batteries are categorized into conventional lead-acid batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries. Generally, the normal service life of a car battery ranges from 1 to 8 years, depending largely on the condition of the vehicle.

Where are the position lights on a car?

The position lights of a car are located at the highest points at the front and rear of the vehicle. The front position lights are situated next to the two headlights, while the rear position lights are usually integrated with the brake lights. Position lights are primarily used during driving in conditions such as dusk, cloudy days, rain, or fog to indicate the width and height of the car, helping other vehicles judge their relative positions and size during encounters or overtaking. Typically, the color of position lights is white at the front and red at the rear. Commonly known as small lights, position lights serve as warning lights to alert other vehicles. They help display the width and length of the vehicle at night and inform following vehicles of the size and width of the vehicle ahead in rainy or foggy conditions. Additionally, when entering tunnels where visibility is poor, turning on the position lights allows following vehicles to clearly see the situation of the vehicle ahead.

What is the first car maintenance interval?

The first car maintenance interval is typically six months or 5,000 kilometers, as specified in the manufacturer's maintenance manual. However, 4S dealerships often recommend an earlier schedule, usually three months or 3,000 kilometers. The key tasks during the first maintenance include changing the engine oil and oil filter, along with a comprehensive vehicle system inspection. This may involve tightening nuts, checking the chassis, tire inspection, and computer system diagnostics. The first maintenance service is relatively simple and usually takes about half an hour to one hour to complete. Car maintenance, also known as vehicle servicing, refers to the regular preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle. It primarily covers the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, etc., aiming to maintain the vehicle's cleanliness, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent malfunctions, and extend the service life.

What is the function of fuel additive?

The function of fuel additive is to solve the carbon deposit problem in the fuel system of electronically controlled fuel injection vehicles, quickly restore the optimal working condition of the engine, and compensate for some defects in gasoline properties, while endowing gasoline with some new excellent characteristics, such as improving atomization, reducing wear, protecting the engine, and lowering emissions. Fuel additive is a type of automotive chemical and a common name for the third generation of gasoline detergents. Improving atomization: Gasoline additives utilize nano-molecular materials to directly attack the long-chain carbon bonds in fuel molecules, causing micro-explosions in the combustion chamber, which leads to secondary atomization of gasoline, promoting complete combustion, increasing thermal efficiency, and reducing fuel consumption. Protecting the engine: Developed to combat harmful components such as sulfur, gum, and engine carbon deposits in fuel, gasoline additives also feature antioxidant, cleaning, dispersing, demulsifying, anti-corrosion, and lubricating properties.

Does a small car exempt from inspection for six years need to go through on-site inspection in the 6th year?

Small cars exempt from inspection for six years do need to go through on-site inspection in the 6th year. The six-year exemption does not mean the vehicle doesn't need to visit the DMV at all during this period. It's still mandatory to normally replace the annual inspection stickers twice - in the 2nd and 4th years respectively. By the 6th year, the vehicle must undergo on-site inspection. To ensure safe and reliable operation, vehicles should be maintained in good technical condition that meets motor vehicle safety standards. Besides regular maintenance, preventive daily checks should also be conducted. Drivers should perform these checks at three stages: before departure, during travel, and after parking, focusing on cleaning, inspection, and fuel/lubricant replenishment. Particularly before long-distance trips or when driving a vehicle for the first time, pre-departure inspections are crucial to understand the vehicle's technical condition and familiarize with all control devices.
