Automatic car transmission fluid should be changed every two years or every 40,000 kilometers, but this may vary depending on the car model, as different models have different requirements. Transmission fluid is an oil product that keeps the gear system clean, lubricates and extends the life of the transmission device, and provides effective lubrication even at low temperatures, reducing oil loss under harsh operating conditions. An automatic transmission typically refers to a 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.

Why is the first brake pedal soft and the second one hard?

The reasons for the first brake pedal being soft and the second one hard are: 1. There is air in the brake lines, and the air in the brake fluid needs to be bled; 2. Due to previous brake fluid leakage causing wear on the master cylinder or wheel cylinder piston cups, the faulty components need to be replaced; 3. The unique hygroscopic property of brake fluid, if not replaced for a long time, water and impurities deposited at the wheel cylinder end during braking can cause this issue. Common brake noises include squeaking sounds. First, check if the brake pads have worn down to the wear indicators. If the noise is from the wear indicators, the brake pads need to be replaced. If not worn down, it's usually due to hard spots on the brake pads or dust/sand particles between the rotor and pads, requiring the brake pads to be removed and sanded with sandpaper.

Why Can't the Sunroof Open?

The reasons why the sunroof cannot open are: 1. Sunroof circuit malfunction; 2. Damage to the sunroof drive motor; 3. Severe lack of lubrication in the sunroof slide rails, causing the sunroof seal to stick to the car body; 4. Foreign objects stuck in the sunroof track. The car sunroof is installed on the roof, effectively allowing air circulation in the car and increasing the intake of fresh air. Additionally, the sunroof can provide a broader view and meet the needs of mobile photography and videography. Car sunroofs can be roughly categorized into: sliding-out type, hidden type, hidden flip-out type, panoramic type, and curtain type, mainly installed on commercial SUVs, sedans, and other models.
