Castrol Edge 5W30 is a fully synthetic engine oil that can be changed every 10,000 kilometers or once a year. Its characteristic is slow degradation, so the replacement cycle is relatively long. Steps for changing engine oil: When the car engine temperature is normal, lift the vehicle with a jack. Place a container under the oil pan at the bottom of the car chassis, then loosen the 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 with a wrench, and let the oil inside flow out naturally. After the oil has drained completely, install a new filter. After installing the new filter, place the car on level ground and add new oil. It is best to use the manufacturer-recommended oil that meets the standards. After adding the new oil, start the vehicle to check the oil condition. If any faults appear, perform timely maintenance. 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 developed 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.

The Function of Motorcycle Steering Damper

The function is to reduce the swing frequency and amplitude, dampen vibration sensations, and enhance vehicle stability during cornering. Steering Damper: Technically termed as a steering damper on motorcycles, it applies damping resistance against human-induced or external forces attempting to turn the handlebars extensively within a short period, while remaining inactive during minor steering adjustments in normal riding. At high speeds, it prevents front-end wobbling. During high-speed cornering, it attenuates vibration sensations transmitted to the rider due to uneven road surfaces, thereby improving the vehicle's stability when taking turns. Additional Information: The steering damper is a double-edged sword, much like shock absorbers. Pursuing handling performance compromises comfort, while prioritizing comfort sacrifices handling. The better the damping effect of the steering damper, the more the vehicle's agility is reduced. Conversely, increased vehicle agility raises the risk of headshake at high speeds. Fortunately, the steering damper is adjustable.

What Causes the Clutch to Sometimes Be Heavy and Sometimes Light?

The reasons why the clutch sometimes feels heavy and sometimes light: insufficient hydraulic assistance, low hydraulic fluid level—check the fluid level; loose hydraulic pump belt, causing insufficient working power for the hydraulic pump—check the belt; excessive wear of the hydraulic pump, leading to unstable hydraulic assistance. Below is an introduction to related clutch content: 1. Mechanical Clutch: A mechanical clutch can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the clutch cable, or by changing the length of the clutch cable. The former method allows for fine-tuning, while the latter offers a larger adjustment range. However, the latter method falls into the category of modification, and improper adjustment can affect driving safety. 2. Clutch Three-Piece Set: The clutch three-piece set refers to the pressure plate, clutch disc, and release bearing. These components are consumable parts of the car, and prolonged use can lead to the clutch becoming excessively heavy. The service cycles of these three parts are similar, so it is recommended to replace all of them at the same time.

How to Reactivate ETC?

Methods for ETC reactivation: Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth is on". If "Tag invalid" appears when inserting/removing twice without the electronic tag attached, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, you can directly press the button on top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth function. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth, open the corresponding mobile APP (usually there's a download QR code on the electronic tag), and enter the device activation interface. Click "Device Connection" and wait patiently for the "Connection successful" prompt. After successful connection, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation. ETC installation positions: For small vehicles like cars and minivans, the ETC card and OBU device should be installed on the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is on the lower middle part.

What to Do If a Gecko Gets Inside the Car?

To drive away a gecko, you can try the following methods: 1. Geckos prefer darkness, so you can turn on the lights in the car where the gecko frequently appears. Generally, it will avoid well-lit areas. 2. Spray a strong-smelling air freshener in the areas where the gecko often appears. 3. Apply camphor oil to the corners of the car and the spots where the gecko is commonly seen. 4. Additionally, geckos are beneficial insects that help eliminate mosquitoes, so there's no need to drive them away. Usually, the presence of geckos indicates a high mosquito population; when the mosquitoes decrease, the gecko will naturally leave. Gecko's habits: 1. Geckos are nocturnal animals. During the day, they hide in concealed places like wall cracks, under eaves, or behind cabinets, and come out at night. 2. When a gecko is startled or when you try to catch it, its tail will immediately break off upon contact, allowing the gecko to escape.

Does idling with the air conditioning on for an hour damage the car?

Idling with the air conditioning on for an hour does not damage the car, but the biggest impact is definitely fuel consumption. Carbon monoxide accumulation can easily lead to poisoning: When the car is stationary with the air conditioning on and the windows and doors are closed, the air inside the car cannot circulate. If carbon monoxide from the engine leaks into the car, it will gradually accumulate, increasing its concentration, which can lead to poisoning or even suffocation. Therefore, try not to turn on the air conditioning in poorly ventilated areas to avoid carbon monoxide buildup and oxygen deprivation. Carbon deposits formation: If the engine speed is too low, it may struggle to power the air conditioning, and even if it does, the engine may run unevenly, leading to incomplete combustion and the formation of carbon deposits. Additionally, idling with the air conditioning on can cause poor heat dissipation in the system, easily leading to overheating of the engine coolant. Overheating can severely damage the engine.

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

When using the heater in winter, first turn on the external air circulation, then switch to internal circulation. How to use the air conditioning in winter: When starting the car, the engine begins to warm up. Wait until the engine temperature gauge needle points to the middle position, then turn on the warm air conditioning and set the air circulation to external circulation to expel the cold air from inside the car. After 2 to 3 minutes, switch the air circulation to internal circulation. Precautions: If cold air continues to enter the cabin, the air blown out will not be very warm, and you may still feel a bit cold inside the car even with the heater on. If the outside temperature is indeed very low, alternate between internal and external circulation. However, do not use internal circulation continuously to increase the cabin temperature, as this prevents air circulation inside the car, leading to no fresh air entering the cabin. This can result in poor air quality inside the car, affecting your health.
