The transmission fluid in a Zotye SR7 should be replaced every 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Operating in prolonged high-temperature conditions can accelerate wear on transmission components and may lead to severe damage if left unchecked. Taking the 2017 Zotye SR7 as an example, it features a 5-door, 5-seat SUV body structure with dimensions of 4510mm in length, 1835mm in width, and 1610mm in height, along with a 2680mm wheelbase and a 55-liter fuel tank capacity. The 2017 Zotye SR7 is equipped with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is powered by a 1.5T turbocharged engine delivering 150 horsepower (150PS), with a maximum power output of 110kW and peak torque of 195Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I also drive a Zotye SR7. Last time I went for maintenance, the mechanic specifically reminded me about the transmission fluid. For manual transmissions, it's generally recommended to change it every 50,000 kilometers, while for automatic transmissions, around 60,000 kilometers is more advisable. However, based on my own experience, it also depends on the driving conditions. If you frequently drive on mountain roads or encounter heavy traffic in the city, it might be safer to change it 5,000 kilometers earlier. The key is not to wait until problems arise. I once met an owner who didn't change it for over 100,000 kilometers, and the transmission ended up completely ruined—repairing it was painfully expensive. It's best to have the mechanic check the fluid condition every 20,000 kilometers. If it turns black or has a burnt smell, you should deal with it immediately.

What are the methods for quickly removing crystal coating?

Here are the methods for quickly removing crystal coating: 1. If the crystal coating is not wiped clean: Use a wet towel to wipe off the crystals from the car paint surface if it hasn't completely dried and crystallized. If it has already dried, polishing is the only option. 2. Treatment after one year of car crystal coating: Generally, after one year, the protective period of the car crystal coating has passed, and it's time to reapply the car crystal coating. After all, with today's fast-paced lifestyle, people hardly have time to maintain their cars. A car wax only lasts for about 2 months, while a car crystal coating offers a longer maintenance cycle of 24-36 months. When dirt or grime appears on the surface of the car paint protective film, simply rinse with water and wipe with a clean, wet cloth. This can save a lot of time and money.

Should Cars Generally Use 92 or 95 Octane Gasoline?

Generally, when refueling a car, it is necessary to use the appropriate fuel grade as specified for the vehicle. The fuel grade is usually indicated on the inside of the fuel tank cap. Whether it's 92 or 95 octane gasoline, the number represents the gasoline's anti-knock performance. A higher octane number indicates better anti-knock performance, but it does not necessarily mean the gasoline is of higher quality. Higher octane fuel is not always better. Below is some relevant information about engine oil: 1. Function of Engine Oil: Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. It is often referred to as the "blood" of the car. Choosing the right engine oil and changing it regularly can maintain the engine in good condition and extend its lifespan. 2. Choosing Engine Oil: When selecting engine oil, the most expensive option is not necessarily the best. Instead, it is most appropriate to choose engine oil based on the characteristics of the car's engine and the driver's habits. Engine oil can also be categorized based on winter and summer use. For winter, the primary consideration is the low-temperature viscosity grade, while in summer, due to higher temperatures, there is no need to select engine oil with a superior low-temperature viscosity grade.

What are the items for daily car maintenance?

Daily car maintenance includes the following items: 1. Minor maintenance mainly involves changing the engine oil and oil filter. 2. Major maintenance includes routine tasks such as replacing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. Here are some related details about maintenance: 1. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. 2. Modern car maintenance mainly covers the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more. 3. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. 4. Avoid running the engine for a long time in an unventilated garage: Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an invisible and odorless toxic gas. Prolonged exposure to low concentrations of carbon monoxide can cause headaches, rapid breathing, nausea, vomiting, weakness, dizziness, mental confusion, and even brain damage. If you start the engine in a garage, open the garage door or turn on the ventilation system to expel the exhaust gases. Even when working outdoors, avoid staying near the exhaust pipe of a running engine for too long. 5. Avoid sucking fuel pipes with your mouth: Gasoline is not only flammable and explosive but also toxic, especially leaded gasoline, which can damage the nervous system, digestive tract, and kidneys. Additionally, gasoline contains high concentrations of sulfides, and hydrogen sulfide is also toxic. Ingesting gasoline can lead to poisoning or death. If ingested, induce vomiting and seek immediate medical treatment. 6. Avoid contact with carburetor cleaner: Most carburetor cleaners contain methyl chloride, aromatic compounds, and ethanol, all of which are toxic. Inhaling these substances or getting them on the skin or eyes can be very dangerous. 7. Avoid mechanical injuries: Car maintenance involves various aspects, and during maintenance operations, clear work signs should be set up to prevent accidental injuries caused by others. When starting the car, pay attention to the transmission gear to prevent accidental movement that could injure someone. When working under the hood, ensure others leave the driver's seat to prevent accidental injuries from sudden engine movement or operation of controls. 8. If working under the car is necessary, set up clear signs and secure the car with wheel chocks: When using a jack, ensure it is placed stably. Prepare proper jack stands before lifting the car and avoid using fragile objects like bricks. When installing assemblies, never test screw holes or lock holes with your fingers to avoid crushing them. 9. When testing the engine, do not work under the car.

Will stalling during the third driving test result in point deduction?

Stalling during the third driving test will result in a 10-point deduction. Here are the reasons for stalling: 1. Improper clutch and throttle coordination: Stalling is usually caused by improper coordination between the clutch and throttle, or lifting the clutch too quickly when starting, which means releasing the pedal too fast. This causes the engine's power output and the transmission's input shaft power to be out of proportion, leading to a sudden increase in friction and resulting in stalling. 2. Incorrect braking: Press the brake pedal, gently lift the clutch until you feel the car shaking, as if it's ready to move. Then, gently release the brake while keeping the clutch steady. If you release the brake too early, the car may roll backward due to insufficient force. If the car shakes violently and you don't release the brake, it can easily stall. The intensity of the shaking should be experienced during practice to master the timing.
