Borui maintenance depends on the type of oil used. For full synthetic oil, it's once a year or every 10,000 kilometers, while for semi-synthetic oil, it's every six months or 5,000 kilometers. Classification of engine oil: Engine oil is divided into three categories: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. The replacement cycles for these three types of oil vary. Generally, mineral oil should be replaced every six months or 5,000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil every six months or 7,500 kilometers, and full synthetic oil every six months or 10,000 kilometers. Precautions for adding engine oil: The quality of the engine oil has a significant impact on the working environment of the engine. The engine operates in a high-temperature environment, continuously repeating mechanical friction movements. In this process, the oil plays a role in cooling, lubricating, and cleaning. Over time, the impurities in the oil increase, and its performance declines accordingly.

I've been driving the Borui for a while now, and the manual clearly recommends a basic maintenance every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, including things like oil changes and filter checks. I strictly follow this because aging oil can damage the engine, and delaying it can lead to louder engine noises or even shaking. Last time, I was busy with work and delayed the maintenance by two weeks. When I took it to the shop, the mechanic said the filter had accumulated a layer of sludge, which cost extra to clean. Maintenance isn't a hassle—usually, an oil change and checks on the brakes and tires take about an hour. Just get into the habit of checking the odometer every 5,000 kilometers. The first three years with a new car are especially important to maintain regularity to avoid major repair costs—after all, replacing an engine is too expensive. When parking daily, take a quick glance at the dipstick; if the oil looks black, it's a reminder to send it for service. The Borui is a great car—don't lose big for small savings!

Discussing the maintenance of Borui from a technical perspective: Engine oil is the key lubricant, which becomes dirty and ineffective over time, so the manual recommends maintenance every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers, depending on road conditions. For frequent short urban trips, maintenance should be more frequent, while for long-distance highway driving, it can be slightly delayed. Failing to change the oil on time increases wear and tear, potentially leading to engine or turbo failure. When I used the Borui, I set up a mobile trip record and went for maintenance at the shop every 5,000 kilometers—small savings prevent big expenses. This includes checking the brakes and cooling system to ensure stable performance. It is recommended to perform the first maintenance on time as per the manual, and then develop a habit of setting a calendar reminder every six months. Don’t ignore maintenance just because the car is new; regular maintenance as the car ages actually makes it more reliable!

What is the problem when the car alarm keeps going off?

If the alarm goes off without reason, apart from human or animal contact, there are other possible causes as follows: 1. Alarm sensitivity: The most likely reason for a car alarm to keep sounding is that the sensitivity of the anti-theft device is set too high, causing it to trigger with even the slightest vibration. 2. Alarm wiring: It could also be due to issues with the wiring of the anti-theft device's main unit, requiring timely inspection, repair, or replacement. However, whether it's checking the wiring or replacing the alarm, it is best left to professionals, as this goes beyond the scope of DIY solutions. Additionally, the integrated circuits inside are complex; improper installation or reversed wiring could result in the anti-theft device failing to work or, in severe cases, damaging the vehicle's components.

What to Do If the First Maintenance Period Has Passed?

The solution when the first maintenance period has passed is: First, negotiate the first maintenance time with the 4S shop. If it is about a month overdue, the first maintenance can usually still be performed. The 4S manufacturer has a grace period for overdue first maintenance in terms of time and mileage, so car owners should strive to protect their rights. Below is relevant information about the first maintenance: 1. The first maintenance has two indicators: mileage and time. It depends on which comes first—either mileage or time—not both conditions. Exceeding either one will affect the first maintenance. 2. According to legal provisions, if the car owner does not go to the shop for maintenance after the first maintenance date, it will be regarded as automatically giving up the right to the first maintenance. Therefore, car owners should pay close attention to the first maintenance of their vehicle.

When Should You Get a Wheel Alignment for Your Car?

You need to perform a wheel alignment under the following circumstances: 1. After replacing tires: When installing new tires or swapping front and rear tires, in addition to wheel balancing, a wheel alignment is necessary to ensure the alignment data for all four wheels is accurate. 2. When the vehicle pulls to one side: If the car drifts left or right while driving, has noticeable steering play, or the steering wheel is at an angle, and wheel balancing is confirmed to be normal, it is likely that the wheel alignment data is off, requiring an alignment to correct the error. 3. After chassis repairs: When the suspension or axle components are disassembled and reassembled, slight displacements may occur, leading to deviations from the factory settings. In this case, a wheel alignment is needed to precisely adjust the angles of the chassis components. 4. After an accident: If the chassis or suspension is damaged in a traffic accident, a thorough inspection, including a wheel alignment, is essential.

What is the fuel consumption of Dongfeng +580?

According to the comprehensive fuel consumption data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Fengguang 580 has a combined fuel consumption of 7.2~7.6L/100km. However, based on actual test data from some Fengguang 580 owners, the real-world fuel consumption generally ranges from 8.0~10.0L/100km. Actual fuel consumption is influenced by various factors and needs to be considered comprehensively. Below is a method to calculate fuel consumption: Calculate fuel consumption based on the relationship between distance and speed. 1. Fill the car's fuel tank until the pump automatically stops, and record the current mileage. 2. The next time you refuel, fill it until the pump automatically stops again, and record the amount of fuel added. 3. Calculate the distance traveled since the last refueling, and then determine the fuel consumption based on the relationship between distance and speed.
