The Leiling spark plugs should be replaced every 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers. The Leiling spark plugs are platinum spark plugs. If the wear is significant, they should be replaced as soon as possible. The function of the spark plug is to introduce the high-voltage electricity (over 10,000 volts) generated by the ignition coil into the engine cylinder, creating a spark between the spark plug electrode gaps to ignite the air-fuel mixture. The Leiling is a compact sedan built on Toyota's MC platform. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4640mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of exterior design, the Leiling adopts the styling of the North American version of the model. The front face features more lines compared to the previous version, with raised front fenders on both sides. The headlights have been redesigned into a hook-like style, and the rear has undergone minor styling changes, featuring a black horizontal chrome strip that runs across the taillights. The lower black trim wraps around the rear, transforming the previously purely family-oriented image.

As a seasoned mechanic with years of experience, I've learned from the manual that the recommended spark plug replacement interval for the Levin is between 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers, depending on your specific model year. If you frequently drive short urban trips or in humid conditions, wear may accelerate, possibly requiring inspection as early as 50,000 kilometers. Delaying replacement can lead to noticeable engine shaking during startup, increased fuel consumption, or even ignition failure, which compromises safety. I recommend having a technician check the electrode gap and clean carbon deposits during routine maintenance. Opting for iridium spark plugs offers better durability—though pricier upfront, they save on long-term repair costs. Don't wait until the engine warning light comes on; delaying repairs risks damaging the ignition coil, leading to costly fixes. Remember: never skip spark plug maintenance. Pair it with air filter and oil changes for smoother driving performance.

As a Corolla owner for five years, I replaced the spark plugs once at 80,000 km as per the manual. The technician mentioned delayed replacement could increase fuel consumption by 5% and engine noise. Post-replacement, I noticed smoother acceleration and eliminated startup lag. If you frequently drive at high speeds or enjoy aggressive acceleration, spark plugs wear faster - possibly needing replacement at 70,000 km. I recommend OEM parts or reputable iridium spark plugs for durability and eco-friendliness. During routine maintenance, have the ignition coils checked to prevent major repairs. Don't cut corners on this small component - engine damage repairs could cost over ¥1,000, being troublesome and uneconomical. Remember the manual provides baseline guidance; adjust based on actual driving habits for optimal results.

I'm a car enthusiast. The lifespan of spark plugs for the Levin is generally between 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers, varying by specific models. Frequent short-distance driving or cold climates can lead to carbon buildup on spark plugs, shortening their lifespan. Delayed replacement may cause engine misfires, excessive emissions, and environmental impact. Through my research, copper spark plugs are cheaper but need replacement every 30,000 kilometers, while iridium ones can last over 100,000 kilometers. Regular replacement can improve fuel efficiency by 10% and enhance engine responsiveness. Related components like the ignition system should also be checked for aging insulation parts—safe driving is no small matter.

How Long Can a Car Battery Last with Infrequent Use?

Car batteries can typically last about a week with infrequent use. Below are some important precautions regarding car batteries: 1. Ensure the auxiliary battery is 12V: Make sure the negative terminal is grounded, and turn off all unnecessary lights and accessories to prevent electrical accidents. 2. Correctly connect the positive and negative terminals: Ensure the positive and negative cables are not reversed, as this may cause sparks when connecting. Also, firmly attach the cables to the battery terminals (ensuring full contact) to avoid sparking during the jump-start process. Start the engine of the vehicle with the auxiliary battery and let it run at medium speed.

What Type of Engine Oil Should Be Used for the Great Wall Pao?

The original engine oil used for the Great Wall Pao is of the type 5W-30. In terms of suitability, the original oil is more compatible with the engine. However, depending on different needs, engine oils can offer additional benefits such as noise reduction, fuel efficiency, and enhanced performance. Therefore, you can also choose engine oils from brands like Mobil, Shell, and Castrol. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother for the vehicle. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher this number, the better the oil can maintain its viscosity under high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the Great Wall Pao is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan. Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine and let it run for about 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passages to drain out. Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter. Apply some oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand. Add the new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, typically filling up to three-quarters of the oil container. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are leaks, they should be repaired. After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to ensure the engine oil level is within the standard range.

How long does it take for a 4S shop to perform touch-up painting?

For minor touch-up painting at a 4S shop, it takes 3-4 hours; for severe cases, it takes 5-6 hours. Below are solutions to common touch-up painting issues: 1. Loss of gloss: Use a high-speed polishing machine with a specialized polishing compound to restore the finish, and the gloss loss will not recur. 2. Reaction (paint lifting): Chemical reactions during painting can occur due to wet spraying on an undercoat that is not dry, previous use of spray paint, or application of low-quality paint, leading to paint lifting. If paint lifting occurs, first dry the affected area with an iodine tungsten lamp, then smooth the lifted area with P1500-P2000 wet sandpaper. After drying, proceed with applying the color paint. If the reaction persists, completely remove the original paint, redo the undercoat, and then proceed with painting.
