Generally, for conventional automatic transmissions, the fluid should be changed approximately every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. Here are the details: 1. Function of Automatic Transmission Fluid: It serves to lubricate and facilitate gear shifting. 2. Risks of Not Changing It Regularly: (1) Poor lubrication can lead to severe component wear, shortening the transmission's lifespan. (2) Particles in the fluid can clog oil passages and damage valve bodies, directly affecting system oil pressure and power transmission, resulting in delayed responses and rough gear shifts. (3) Aging and degradation of the transmission fluid can increase fuel consumption.

Can items be placed on the roof rack of a city SUV?

Items can be placed on it, but they should not be too heavy or too high, and must be securely fastened to avoid affecting driving safety. Roof rack: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, the height of luggage placed on the roof of a passenger vehicle must not exceed 0.5 meters. This means some larger items cannot be securely fixed on the roof rack, making its practicality somewhat less than one might initially expect. Luggage net: A luggage net is suitable for storing lightweight materials that are not easily secured with stretchable straps. A typical example is tent materials mentioned earlier. If secured solely with stretchable straps, they can easily slip or fall off. A luggage net makes storage more convenient and ensures better fixation.

Is there any danger in filling up the gas tank in summer?

It is not recommended to fill the car's gas tank to the brim during summer. Hazards of overfilling: Overfilling the tank causes gasoline to evaporate faster: Rapid gasoline evaporation first leads to energy waste, and the evaporated gasoline fumes can enter the cabin, which may affect human health with long-term exposure. Overfilling the tank can severely reduce the performance of the carbon canister: This ultimately leads to issues such as engine shaking and increased fuel consumption. Safety risks: The car's gas tank has a vent hole at the top. If the tank is filled to the brim, gasoline can easily overflow from the vent hole. If there happens to be an open flame nearby, the spilled gasoline is highly flammable.

On which road sections is reversing not allowed?

When reversing a motor vehicle, the driver should observe the situation behind the vehicle and confirm safety before reversing. Reversing is not allowed at railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, or in tunnels. Frequently check rearview mirrors while driving: Some novice drivers, due to excessive nervousness, keep their eyes fixed on the road ahead after getting in the car. This habit is not only incorrect but also unsafe. Novice drivers should frequently check the left and right rearview mirrors to understand the surrounding situation of the vehicle. Relying solely on reversing cameras: Modern vehicles come with many high-tech devices, such as reversing cameras, which are excellent features. However, when reversing, do not rely solely on the reversing camera. Be sure to also check the left and right rearview mirrors and the situation in front of the vehicle, as reversing cameras have blind spots. Checking the front of the vehicle helps avoid the situation of focusing only on the rear while neglecting the front.

How Much Damage Does Rapid Acceleration Cause to an AT Transmission?

Rapid acceleration during cold starts can cause significant damage to the transmission. Damage caused by cold starts: A cold start refers to starting the engine after it has been turned off for a period of time, during which the engine has cooled down to a temperature much lower than its normal operating temperature, and the engine oil has mostly drained back. Starting the engine under these conditions is considered a cold start. Damage caused by rapid acceleration from a traffic light: Even if the vehicle is equipped with an automatic start-stop function, while waiting at a traffic light, the overall working temperature of the vehicle remains in the normal range. The lubricating oil inside the engine and transmission has not completely drained back, and an oil film still remains on the metal surfaces. In this scenario, rapid acceleration does not cause significant wear to the transmission or engine, so vehicle owners need not worry.

Will speeding between 10% and 20% over the limit on ordinary roads result in penalty points or fines?

Speeding between 10% and 20% over the limit on ordinary roads results in 3 penalty points and a fine. According to Section 2 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: Article 42 of the Motor Vehicle Traffic Regulations states that motor vehicles driving on roads must not exceed the maximum speed indicated by speed limit signs. On road sections without speed limit signs, a safe speed should be maintained. Notes on speeding: Speeding less than 10% over the limit is not penalized, or may result in a warning, which is a relatively light penalty. Speeding is dangerous, and even speeding less than 10% over the limit is still a traffic violation. For speeding offenses, exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% results in penalties that become more severe with higher speeds. Speeding more than 50% over the limit results in 12 penalty points at once.

What Causes Engine Gasket Oil Leakage?

There are two basic scenarios for automobile engine oil leakage. Automobile engine oil leakage: When there are clearly visible oil stains on the surface of the automobile engine casing, and if these stains reappear shortly after being cleaned, or even in severe cases where oil drips like water droplets, the vehicle should be sent for repair as soon as possible. Automobile engine oil seepage: If the engine casing only has minor oil stains, it indicates that the oil leakage is not particularly severe. The amount of seepage is minimal and hardly noticeable at this stage, posing almost no impact on the engine. The most direct and effective solution is to replace all the sealing rings. Urban traffic congestion, with frequent stops and starts, necessitates constant gear shifting. Modern vehicles have an increasing number of gears, leading to more frequent gear shifts, greater working pressure inside the transmission, higher temperatures, and accelerated aging and deformation of the rubber seals in the transmission.
