For new engines, the first oil change should be performed after 50 hours of initial operation, and also after medium or major overhauls (another 50 hours). The oil change interval is generally synchronized with the replacement of the oil filter (filter element). Here is extended information about diesel generator maintenance: Daily inspection tasks: Mainly include checking fuel tank levels and oil reserves to ensure sufficient quantities, with timely refueling as needed. Regular timely inspections: Ensure the oil level reaches the marked line on the dipstick, and replenish according to specified quantities promptly. Immediate checks: Promptly inspect water, oil, and air conditions. Address any oil or water leaks at pipe joint sealing surfaces immediately. Eliminate exhaust pipe and cylinder head gasket leaks, as well as turbocharger air leaks, tackling issues at their root cause.

What is the meaning of automotive metallic paint?

Automotive metallic paint refers to paint that has metal powder mixed into it. It produces two main effects: 1. The surface of panels coated with metallic paint appears more sparkling and eye-catching. 2. On cars painted with metallic paint, the color and even the contours appear to change when viewed from different angles due to light refraction, giving the vehicle a richer and more dynamic appearance. Additional information: The main differences between metallic paint and regular paint are the following two aspects: 1. Different hardness: The addition of metal makes metallic paint harder than regular paint, with improved wear resistance, making the car less susceptible to scratches. 2.

When parking, should I shift gears first or release the handbrake first?

Shift gears first and then release the handbrake. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Reason: When starting the car, you don't know if the ground is level. If it's inclined, releasing the handbrake first will leave the car in a neutral coasting state, causing the vehicle to roll in the direction of the slope without any braking, which can easily lead to safety hazards. 2. Handbrake: Its professional name is auxiliary brake. Unlike the principle of the main brake, it uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force to the vehicle. Long-term use of the handbrake can cause plastic deformation of the steel cable. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use will reduce its effectiveness, and the handbrake's travel distance will also increase.
