Minivans should have their oil changed every 5,000-10,000 kilometers. Here are some additional details: 1. Engine oil is extremely important for the engine. It contains various additives that effectively protect the engine's crucial moving components, ensuring normal operation. 2. When purchasing a vehicle, manufacturers provide a maintenance manual that specifies the recommended oil change intervals (mileage or time period). 3. Engine lubricating oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component determining the lubricant's fundamental properties, while additives compensate for any performance deficiencies in the base oil.

Should the throttle be completely released when shifting gears?

When shifting gears, the throttle must be fully released. If the throttle is not released, the transmission and engine will suffer significant damage, reducing the vehicle's lifespan. Additionally, shifting gears while pressing the throttle is unsafe, as the car's power will surge abruptly when the clutch is lifted. In case of unexpected situations, this can easily lead to accidents. Gear shifting should be determined based on the vehicle's speed. Before upshifting, increase the speed first; before downshifting, reduce the speed first. When driving on city streets or highways, looking down at the gearshift lever while shifting can cause the vehicle to veer off course, leading to accidents. Therefore, avoid looking down at the gearshift lever during gear changes.

What is the difference between an electric trunk and a sensor-activated trunk?

The differences between a sensor-activated trunk and an electric trunk are as follows: 1. An electric trunk refers to a trunk that can be opened and closed electronically. There is a door-closing button inside the trunk door, and by pressing this button, the trunk door can close automatically without manual intervention. 2. A sensor-activated trunk refers to a trunk equipped with sensors inside the vehicle, allowing the trunk to be opened or closed via sensing. Simply waving your foot under the sensor can open the trunk. 3. A trunk with sensors is very convenient.
