The final drive oil can be changed every 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. For specific models, please refer to the maintenance manual. Introduction to Final Drive Oil: The final drive is actually the part that connects the two rear wheels of a car. The correct technical term for the final drive is the final reduction gear. Final drive oil is the oil injected into those gears. 'Final drive oil' is just a colloquial term—it is essentially gear oil, also known as differential oil. Functions of Final Drive Oil: Final drive oil is used in various gear transmission devices to prevent tooth surface wear, scuffing, seizing, etc., thereby extending their service life and improving power transmission efficiency. Gear oil should have excellent anti-wear and load-bearing properties, as well as appropriate viscosity. Final drive oil should also possess good thermal oxidation stability, anti-foaming properties, water separation performance, and rust prevention capabilities.

What was the China National Emission Standard for cars in 2010?

In 2010, cars could meet either China National IV or China National III emission standards, depending on the specific model. Below is an introduction to the China National IV standard: 1. Actual situation of China National IV vehicles: Many vehicles produced after 2009 could already meet the China National IV emission standard, with some high-end models achieving it as early as 2007 or 2008. However, most vehicles produced before 2009 did not meet the China National IV emission standard. 2. Implementation date of China National IV standard: The China National IV standard was piloted in 2010 and fully implemented in 2011, replacing the previous China National III standard. Automakers typically produce vehicles that comply with national emission standards in advance, especially for mid-to-high-end models, which often meet the China National IV standard earlier.

Which is Higher-End: Brabus or Maybach?

Maybach holds a higher status. Maybach has long been hailed as a 'mobile palace,' with the all-new Maybach S-Class representing the pinnacle of global automotive craftsmanship. Here are the details: 1. Maybach: Maybach is a luxury sedan symbolizing exclusivity and perfection. The core of this model lies in its interior, which is almost entirely wrapped in premium leather, exuding opulence. Beyond active and passive safety features, it boasts a wealth of additional functionalities. For instance, the car is equipped with a surround sound system, transforming the cabin into a private mobile concert hall. Thus, the Maybach S-Class far surpasses its counterpart, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, in prestige. 2. Brabus: Brabus models are modified versions of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, enhanced by the Brabus tuning house. Post-modification, Brabus cars exhibit formidable power and meticulously crafted interiors, maintaining the brand's consistent high standards. Examples like the Brabus G-Class, Brabus 40S, and Brabus 60S rightfully earn the title 'King of Mercedes.' However, compared to Maybach, they still fall slightly short in overall refinement.

How to Shift Gears in a Fast 16-Speed Transmission?

Introduction to shifting gears in a Fast 16-speed transmission is as follows: 1. The 16-speed transmission uses a dual-H shifting mechanism. Reverse gear and gears 1-8 are in the low range, while gears 9-16 are in the high range. The neutral position is located between gears 5-8 and 9-12. 2. To switch between high and low ranges, you can use your palm to push the shift lever left or right. The switching between high and low ranges is automatically achieved during gear selection, similar to an 8-speed transmission, but with more gears. The switching between odd and even gears is controlled by the up and down paddles on the shift lever—up for upshifting and down for downshifting. 3. The multi-speed transmission has two positions: high range and low range. When parked, the gear lever should be placed in the neutral position of the low range. When engaging reverse gear, the vehicle should be stopped first before shifting to avoid damaging internal transmission components. Engaging reverse gear requires greater shifting force to overcome the resistance of the reverse lock. 4. Low range: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8; High range: 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16; Odd gears: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15; Even gears: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16. 5. When upshifting, the clutch should be released slowly. However, as the vehicle speed increases and higher gears are engaged, under normal RPM and gear conditions, the faster the speed, the quicker the clutch can be released during shifting. However, the speed difference between gears during shifting should not be too large.

What to Do If You Lose the Key to Your Motorcycle Fuel Tank Cap?

If you lose the key to your motorcycle fuel tank cap, you can go to a locksmith to have a new one made. Here are the relevant details: 1. Locksmith prices are not expensive: If your motorcycle is parked in a safe location (and not in use) when you lose the key, it's best to go to a locksmith to have a new key made. You don't need the original key to make a new one, and the price is quite affordable. Trying to force it open yourself could damage the fuel tank and cap, and you'd still need to get a new key made or replace the lock entirely. 2. Forced opening: If you don't plan to keep the original lock, you can use a large flat-head screwdriver to forcefully twist it open. If you still want to keep the lock, you can remove the mounting screws.

How to Release ABS Lock on a Car?

Clean the dirt on the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the wheel speed sensor and the signal gear ring to restore normal operation. Alternatively, check the wiring connections and reconnect any loose ones. ABS Working Principle: During braking, ABS quickly determines the wheel lock state based on the speed signals from each wheel speed sensor. It closes the normally open input solenoid valve on the wheel that is starting to lock, keeping the braking force constant. If the wheel continues to lock, the normally closed output solenoid valve is opened, causing the braking pressure on that wheel to rapidly decrease due to the direct connection to the brake fluid reservoir, preventing the wheel from completely locking due to excessive braking force. This keeps the braking state at the optimal point (slip rate S of 20%), ensuring the best braking effect and the safest driving. ABS Functions: Maximize the effectiveness of the brakes, shortening braking time and distance. Effectively prevent vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability. Allow steering during emergency braking, providing good steering control. Avoid severe friction between tires and the ground, reducing tire wear.
