The gear oil of a sedan should generally be changed every 40,000 kilometers. However, the specific replacement interval should be determined based on the manufacturer's user manual, as the service life of vehicle gear oil is influenced by various factors such as the vehicle model, oil quality, usage conditions, and driving habits. Gear oil primarily refers to the lubricating oil used in transmissions and rear axles, and it mainly functions to lubricate gears and bearings, prevent wear and rust, and assist in heat dissipation for gears. Automotive gear oil is used in gear transmission mechanisms such as steering systems, transmissions, and drive axles. Due to the high surface pressure during gear transmission, gear oil plays a crucial role in lubricating gears, resisting wear, cooling, dissipating heat, preventing corrosion and rust, cleaning, and reducing gear surface impact and noise.

How to Start a Wrangler?

The starting method for the Wrangler is as follows: 1. Look around and ensure the gear is in the parking position before starting; 2. Press the brake, then use the one-button start; 3. Check if any warning lights on the car's dashboard are abnormal. If everything is normal, shift into D gear and prepare to drive. The Wrangler uses a recirculating-ball steering gear specifically designed for off-road vehicles to provide a robust and durable steering system with a larger steering ratio. The spiral springs with a smaller elastic coefficient enhance on-road comfort. After careful tuning, the steering and suspension systems offer excellent ride comfort. Thanks to the use of soundproofing materials, noise has been reduced by 20% compared to the older models. The vehicle comes standard with high-pressure monotube shock absorbers and LST (Low-Speed Tunable) valve technology, achieving a perfect balance between excessive rebound and excessive oscillation.

How to Adjust Direction When a Vehicle Experiences Side Slip?

Methods for adjusting direction when a vehicle experiences side slip: 1. If the front wheels slip, maintain steady throttle and correct the direction to drive out; 2. When the rear wheels slip, turn the steering wheel in the direction of the slip and return to the lane after the rear wheels straighten; 3. If rear wheel slip occurs while going downhill, gently tap the throttle. Vehicle side slip may occur due to the braking system, rotational inertia, or other factors causing lateral movement of the wheels on one axle, leading to side slip issues. During a side slip, the vehicle may experience friction or other phenomena. It is important not to panic during a side slip, maintain control of the steering wheel, avoid letting go of the wheel, and promptly adjust the vehicle's direction to minimize damage from the side slip.

Causes of Slew Bearing Noise

Slew bearing noise can be caused by uneven mounting surfaces, impurities inside the slew bearing raceway, or insufficient lubrication. Uneven Mounting Surface: If the flatness of the mounting surface does not meet requirements, it can create negative clearance in the raceway, leading to noise. Improper installation, whether too tight or too loose, can also cause slew bearing noise. Impurities Inside the Slew Bearing Raceway: Particles such as sand or metal shavings inside the slew bearing raceway can cause noise. In such cases, the machinery often struggles to operate properly. Insufficient Lubrication in the Slew Bearing: Check if the raceway lacks lubrication. If so, adding lubricant can reduce friction between components.
