The transmission fluid for the Mazda Atenza should be changed every two years. When replacing the transmission fluid, the oil filter screen should also be replaced simultaneously, as it cannot be thoroughly cleaned and must be replaced. Transmission fluid is a lubricant that maintains the cleanliness of the gear system, providing lubrication to extend the lifespan of the transmission components. It offers effective lubrication even in low-temperature conditions and reduces fluid loss under harsh operating conditions. The Mazda Atenza has dimensions of 4870mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. In terms of exterior design, this vehicle continues the design of the imported Atenza model, incorporating Mazda's KODO design philosophy. The U-shaped front grille, paired with LED headlights, enhances the sporty appearance.

What is the function of automatic transmission fluid?

Maintains the cleanliness of the gear system and serves to lubricate, extending the lifespan of the transmission components. Below is an introduction to automatic transmission fluid: 1. Automatic transmission fluid is specifically designed for automatic transmissions. In the early days, automatic transmissions did not have dedicated fluid and instead used engine oil. Due to significant differences in working conditions and technical requirements, the practice of using engine oil as automatic transmission fluid was quickly phased out. Today's dedicated automatic transmission fluid serves both as the hydraulic fluid for the torque converter and as the lubricant for the planetary gear structure and the hydraulic fluid for the shifting mechanism. 2. Under normal driving conditions, automatic transmission fluid should generally be replaced every 120,000 kilometers, while under severe driving conditions, it should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers. It is advisable to use the original manufacturer's ATF. Do not misuse or mix different types of automatic transmission fluid. Always use the ATF model specified in the vehicle's maintenance manual. Different ATF models have different friction coefficients.

How Long Can the Wheel Hub Last After a Tire Blowout?

Generally, if you drive slowly for 100 meters after a tire blowout, the wheel hub will not be damaged. It is recommended not to continue driving. Continuing to drive with a blown tire can cause more severe tire damage, making it irreparable. Below is additional information: Precautions: Driving with a blown tire also poses safety hazards. If it's a front tire, it's like running with a limp. A rear tire blowout has less impact on the vehicle's overall balance compared to a front tire, but it may still cause fishtailing. Therefore, after a tire blowout, you can slowly move to a safe area over a short distance. Emergency Handling: Turn on hazard lights immediately to alert vehicles behind you that there is an issue; pull over safely, avoiding intersections and no-parking zones; change to the spare tire, ensuring safety during the process and frequently observing passing vehicles.

What Types of Cars Are Suitable for Aipao 98 Gasoline?

Aipao 98 gasoline is suitable for high-end gasoline-powered cars, SUVs, and especially models with direct injection, turbocharging, and high compression ratios. Below are details about Aipao 98: Independently developed by Sinopec: "Aipao 98" gasoline is a high-quality fuel independently innovated and developed by Sinopec, significantly improving a car engine's acceleration, power, cleanliness, and combustion efficiency. It features anti-counterfeiting technology and a unique color. Sinopec holds independent intellectual property rights for this product and has applied for a national patent. More rational distribution: The octane value of "Aipao 98" gasoline is distributed more rationally compared to regular 98 gasoline, ensuring more complete combustion during engine startup and acceleration, thereby substantially enhancing the car's power. Increased power output: Power output can increase by 2 kilowatts per minute, reducing the time from low to high speed. During high-speed driving, the engine can deliver stronger power while clearing and inhibiting over 90% of carbon deposits inside the engine.

Can you shift gears while driving an automatic car, and do you need to press the brake?

You can shift gears while driving an automatic car without pressing the brake. Since the car is in motion, it means the gear is already in D (Drive) mode. In this case, shifting gears simply involves switching to S (Sport) or M (Manual) mode. However, it is not allowed to shift to N (Neutral), P (Park), or R (Reverse) while the car is moving. For an automatic transmission, the brake only needs to be pressed when shifting to P (Park) mode. For other gears, normal manual control is sufficient without assistance from the right foot. This is mainly because, in P (Park) mode, there is a control lock valve that must be released by pressing the brake before the gear can be shifted from P to other modes. Automatic transmission generally refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and gear-shifting operations.

How to Clean a Car's Three-Way Catalytic Converter?

Methods for cleaning a car's three-way catalytic converter: 1. Use oxalic acid solution for cleaning, which is highly effective. However, this method requires disassembling the three-way catalytic device, and there are specific requirements for the dilution ratio of the oxalic acid solution and soaking time. Improper use may damage the internal structure. 2. Non-disassembly cleaning, which involves "drip cleaning" or adding cleaning agents to the fuel tank. This method is less effective than the first one and is suitable for mild blockages in the three-way catalytic converter. The three-way catalytic converter refers to a catalytic device that converts harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted from car exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. The core component of the three-way catalytic converter is a porous ceramic material installed in a specially designed exhaust pipe.
