It is generally recommended to change the transmission fluid after driving approximately 60,000 kilometers. Different brands of heavy trucks have varying transmission structures and configurations, so the manufacturer knows their own brand's transmission best. Below is some relevant information: 1. Importance of transmission fluid: Effectively reduces gear wear and extends lifespan; minimizes friction and improves power output; disperses heat, providing a cooling effect; prevents rust or corrosion of components; reduces noise and vibration; cleans dirt between gear surfaces, reducing wear. 2. Precautions for changing transmission fluid: Different types of transmission fluid should not be mixed, as the original transmission fluid is tested and should be the most suitable for the vehicle's transmission; if switching to another brand of transmission fluid, it is difficult to completely clean the existing fluid due to its high viscosity, and mixing fluids can affect transmission performance or even lead to performance degradation.

What does Mercedes-Benz 63 mean?

Mercedes-Benz 63 refers to the 6.3-liter displacement. When it was first introduced, it featured a naturally aspirated V8 engine with a 6.3-liter displacement. Later, due to European restrictions on large-displacement engines, it was replaced with a 5.5T turbocharged engine. Initially, models like the C63, CL63, and ML63 were introduced with this naming convention. Although the engine was later updated to a 5T turbocharged version, the original name was retained due to its market recognition. For example, the classic 63 model featured the M137 V12 engine, which was also the first engine installed in an AMG model named with "63." The 6.3L displacement became the direct basis for the naming.

Do Different Colors of Coolant Indicate Different Functions?

Coolants of different colors have the same function. Coolant is originally produced as a colorless and transparent liquid. Dyes are added to distinguish it from other liquids, without any special function, and it has no impact on the coolant's performance and quality. The primary purpose of adding color is to help car owners easily check the water level line in the car's radiator, allowing them to replenish it in time if it's low and prevent overflow during operation to ensure safe driving. There is almost no difference in the function of coolants; their main purpose is to cool the vehicle. The operation of a car requires the engine to continuously provide kinetic energy, which generates a significant amount of heat in the process. If the heat is too high, it can cause serious damage to the engine, so coolant is used to quickly cool the engine.

Can 95 gasoline be changed to 92 gasoline?

95 gasoline cannot be directly replaced with 92 gasoline. If the engine is equipped with a turbocharger, it is necessary to use gasoline with an octane rating of 95 or higher. Naturally aspirated engines can use gasoline with an octane rating of 92 or higher. The specific choice should be based on the suitability of your vehicle. Here is an introduction to gasoline: 1. Introduction: Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from the distillation and cracking of petroleum, which can be used as fuel. 2. Classification: According to the octane rating, it is divided into grades such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98.

What does NEDC range mean?

NEDC stands for New European Driving Cycle, which translates to "New European Driving Cycle" in Chinese. The range standard used by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is based on the European standard. Here is a basic introduction to NEDC: 1. The NEDC range test mainly simulates urban and suburban environments, with a ratio of 4:1. Because actual road conditions involve many influencing factors, NEDC tests are primarily conducted on test benches. 2. The biggest criticism of NEDC is that the data produced by this theoretical method can sometimes be far from reality, and the reference value of NEDC standards in most countries is not very high.
