Castrol EDGE 5W30 is a fully synthetic engine oil that can be changed every 10,000 kilometers or once a year. Its characteristic is that it degrades relatively slowly, so the replacement cycle is comparatively longer. Steps for changing engine oil: When the car engine temperature is in a normal state, lift the vehicle with a jack. Place a container under the oil pan in the car's chassis, then loosen the oil drain plug to allow the oil to flow out naturally. Once the oil has completely drained, reinstall the drain plug. Move the oil container under the oil filter, remove the filter element with a wrench, and let the oil inside flow out naturally. After the oil has completely drained, install a new filter element. After installing the filter element, place the car on level ground and add new oil. It is best to use the manufacturer's recommended oil that meets the standards. After adding the new oil, start the vehicle to check the oil condition. If any issues arise, perform maintenance promptly. Performance characteristics of Castrol EDGE: Extends the life of today's high-performance engines, with strong high-temperature control capabilities and excellent performance. Castrol EDGE is specially formulated to enhance the oil's oxidation stability and reduce oil degradation under high temperatures, making it more suitable for the demanding operating environments of modern high-performance engines.

What are the dimensions of a truck?

For single-axle trucks, the cargo compartment length generally does not exceed 6.5 meters, while for double-axle trucks, it typically does not exceed 8.6 meters. The same applies to small three-axle trucks. For trucks with a 4x2 configuration (front four wheels, rear two axles), the cargo compartment length is usually fixed at 9.5 meters, except for special models. Generally, the larger the tonnage capacity, the longer the cargo compartment. Truck Introduction: Trucks, also known as lorries, are motor vehicles specifically designed for transporting goods. Trucks can be categorized into 8 types based on structure: Standard trucks, box trucks, enclosed trucks, tanker trucks, flatbed trucks, container trucks, dump trucks, and special-structure trucks. Trucks can be classified into four categories by payload capacity: Heavy-duty trucks, medium-duty trucks, light-duty trucks, and mini trucks. Medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks are collectively referred to as large trucks, which must have an overall length ≥6 meters and a gross vehicle weight exceeding 4.5 tons.

What to Do When the Rear Wheel Brakes Lock Up?

Force-start the vehicle and rev the engine aggressively until the rear wheels begin to rotate; alternatively, remove the tire and gently tap the brake drum with a hammer or similar tool to loosen the brake drum and brake pads. Below is relevant information about brake lock-up: 1. Causes: Brake lock-up typically occurs after rain or car washing when the vehicle is parked for an extended period (usually around a day). Rust can form between the inner surface of the rear brake drum and the brake pads, causing them to seize. 2. Prevention Methods: To prevent brake lock-up, after water enters the brake drum, avoid parking immediately. Drive for a while and apply the brakes frequently to allow the moisture to evaporate. Alternatively, when parking, do not engage the handbrake. For manual transmission vehicles, leave the car in 1st gear, and for automatic transmission vehicles, leave it in P (Park) gear to prevent the vehicle from rolling. This way, the brake drum and brake pads will not be in contact, preventing rust-induced seizure.

What Causes Shock Absorber Oil Leakage in Cars?

Shock absorber oil leakage is directly related to road conditions. The main causes of shock absorber oil leakage include the following aspects: 1. Poor internal cleanliness of the shock absorber, with welding slag, iron filings, and other debris causing oil seal wear; 2. Harsh working conditions of the shock absorber, allowing external debris like mud and sand to enter the oil seal, leading to wear and oil leakage; 3. Aging of the sealing lip of the shock absorber oil seal, resulting in loss of sealing function; 4. Some car owners fail to properly cover the shock absorber when applying undercoating, causing the coating to adhere to the shock absorber piston rod and wear the oil seal, leading to leakage; 5. The support rod that controls piston movement needs to extend from one end of the metal tube, and this area requires strict sealing. Generally, oil leakage is directly related to improper sealing here. Hydraulic shock absorber oil leakage indicates that its service life is not long.

What to Do When the Car Cannot Start on a Slope in First Gear Due to Lack of Power?

The reason why the car cannot start on a slope in first gear due to lack of power is insufficient torque and power of the vehicle. Possible reasons: When operating the vehicle, insufficient torque and power during starting or climbing a slope may cause the vehicle to fail to climb the slope. This could also be due to inherent engine issues, specifically improper tuning between the engine and transmission. Detailed solutions: First, when using the vehicle, try to find roads or slopes that are not too steep. In this regard, driving in an S-shaped path can help alleviate the difficulty of climbing slopes. Additionally, certain assistance functions can be activated. For the vehicle, when it cannot climb a slope in first gear, there is no need to worry, as this is generally an issue with the vehicle's own faults. The problem can be resolved by addressing the vehicle's faults appropriately.

What Causes the Rattle in the Car's Center Console?

Car center console rattles can be caused by loose fixing screws or loose trim panel clips. The specific reasons are as follows: Loose Fixing Screws: Rattles in the center console are usually caused by loose related fixing screws or detached clips. In this case, it is necessary to go to a repair shop to check the related fixing screws and clips. If it is confirmed to be loose, simply retightening them will suffice. If the clips are detached, replacing them with new ones will solve the problem. Loose Trim Panel Clips: Another reason could be loose clips on the A-pillar trim panels on both sides of the center console, or slight deformation of the trim panels causing the rattle. If the issue lies with the A-pillar trim panels, they can be removed and soundproofing and vibration-damping foam can be added, which can effectively prevent rattles.

Can You Continue Driving with a Punctured Tire?

Tire punctured, if there is no air leakage, the owner can continue to drive, but the speed should be reduced. Other situations of tire puncture analysis: Slight air leakage: If the air leakage is not serious and the tire pressure is normal, you can continue to drive. However, the speed should not be too fast at this time, and you need to find a repair shop to fix the tire as soon as possible. Because this situation can easily lead to a tire blowout, you should also try to avoid bumpy roads. Severe air leakage: If the air leakage is severe and you can obviously feel the leakage, you should not continue to drive. If conditions permit, try to replace the tire with the spare tire yourself, but the spare tire cannot be used for a long time. After replacing the spare tire, you should still go to a repair shop to fix the punctured tire. If you are unable to replace the tire yourself, call for roadside assistance. While waiting for assistance, remember to alert others by turning on the hazard lights and placing a safety warning sign as required.
