When the vehicle displays the 'change engine oil immediately' warning, you can typically drive for about 10,000 kilometers more. When to change engine oil: Under normal driving conditions for new cars using synthetic oil, the oil can generally be changed every 10,000 kilometers, and in some cases, it can even be extended to 20,000 kilometers. Automotive maintenance professionals consider 'normal driving' to mean frequent highway driving with minimal stop-and-go traffic. However, if you often drive in the city with frequent traffic lights, constant traffic congestion, and most trips not exceeding a dozen kilometers, this type of driving is classified as 'severe driving'.

What Happens If the Antifreeze Is Overfilled?

Overfilling antifreeze can cause it to expand due to heat during vehicle operation and overflow from the pressure relief valve. If the reservoir cap does not seal properly, a significant amount of antifreeze may leak outside the vehicle, leading to a shortage of antifreeze. Excessive antifreeze does not have a major impact on the cooling system, as the system is equipped with a pressure regulation device. After the engine starts and the coolant temperature rises, the antifreeze will expand due to thermal expansion and overflow from the relief valve. This is not harmful but may leave stains after drying. Antifreeze offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and corrosion year-round. It is widely used in automotive internal combustion engines, ships, and other mechanical equipment.

Do hybrid vehicles require charging?

Hybrid vehicles do not require charging. Here are the reasons: 1. No charging equipment: The 'electricity' in hybrid power technology is not 'charged' from external charging facilities, and hybrid vehicles simply don't have charging equipment. 2. Hybrid system: When the vehicle doesn't require high power from the engine, part of the engine's power is used to generate electricity and stored in the battery. Additionally, the kinetic energy reduced during vehicle deceleration and braking is converted into electrical energy and stored in the battery through a process called 'regenerative braking'. This is the source of the 'electricity' in hybrid dual-power technology.

What are the pros and cons of installing lowering springs on a car?

Installing lowering springs on a car has the following advantages and disadvantages: 1. Advantages: The vehicle's ground clearance is reduced, significantly improving stability at high speeds. Lowering springs generally have a higher damping coefficient, which effectively suppresses body roll during cornering and lane changes, allowing for faster and more stable turns. 2. Disadvantages: After installing lowering springs, the ground clearance decreases by 3-4 cm, reducing the vehicle's ability to navigate obstacles. Extra caution is required when entering underground parking or going over speed bumps. The suspension becomes stiffer, reducing comfort, especially when driving over rough roads where the bumpiness is noticeably increased.

What Causes Difficulty Starting a Motorcycle When Cold?

Motorcycle difficulty starting when cold is caused by: 1. High viscosity of engine oil; 2. Dirty motorcycle air filter needing cleaning or replacement; 3. Incorrect starting method; 4. Improper carburetor adjustment; 5. Declining engine performance. The birth of the Ducati Superleggera V4 turns dreams into reality, with vehicle components made of carbon fiber, including molded advanced aerodynamic components. The aeronautical wing design of Ducati's MotoGP racing bike ensures the generation of 50kg of downforce at 270kph, which is 20kg more than the downforce produced by the Panigale V4 and V4R.
