When I first bought my car, I was a novice driver and knew nothing about car functions. After some exploration, I discovered that the windshield washer switch is located on the right-hand stalk—just pull it toward yourself to spray water and clean the windshield. The position is ergonomically designed, so you don’t need to turn your head while driving. Once during a rainy day, it wouldn’t spray, and I was sweating in frustration; later, I checked and realized the washer fluid reservoir was empty. I rushed to the supermarket to buy a bottle of antifreeze fluid and refilled it. I recommend everyone check the reservoir regularly to avoid last-minute surprises. Especially in summer, using plain water can cause scale buildup, clogging the nozzles; in winter, you must switch to antifreeze, or the pipes may freeze, causing bigger issues. Make it a habit to check monthly to ensure clear visibility and safe driving.

Push it all the way in and pull it out again to check the oil level. Below are the steps to check the oil level: 1. Locate the dipstick handle in the engine compartment and prepare a tissue. 2. Pull out the dipstick and use the tissue to completely wipe off the oil on the dipstick head. At this point, take note of the position of the dipstick's markings (usually marked with MIN and MAX). 3. Reinsert the cleaned dipstick all the way in, then pull it out again. The oil adhering to the end of the dipstick can now be observed. 4. By observing the oil on the dipstick, you can determine the highest point of the engine oil level.

Is the Spare Tire of BMW X3 Full-Size?

BMW X3's spare tire is not full-size. The tire specification for BMW X3 is 235/55R17, while the spare tire is slightly smaller. Below is some relevant information about BMW X3: 1. The BMW X3 is an SUV model with distinctive personality, introducing the new SUV Sports Activity Vehicle concept and equipped with BMW's patented xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system. 2. While designing the BMW X3, the designers created a compact yet powerful exterior while significantly expanding the interior space.

Why Does Coolant Get Hot?

The reasons why coolant gets hot are as follows: 1. Insufficient engine coolant; 2. Faulty water temperature sensor or gauge; 3. Driving with a tailwind or prolonged low-speed, high-load driving in hot seasons; 4. Ignition timing too early or too late; 5. Louvers not fully opening; 6. Air-fuel mixture too lean or too rich; 7. Radiator exterior dirty or severe internal scaling, leading to poor heat dissipation—requires flushing (cleaning) the radiator or replacement; 8. Fan clutch engagement too late, cooling fan not working, or excessive fan rotation resistance; 9. Electric fan performance issues or lack of high-speed operation; 10. Excessive carbon buildup in the combustion chamber; 11. Loose water pump belt; 12. Issues with the catalytic converter; 13. Caused by gas passing through water in a "blow-by" phenomenon; 14. Thermostat not opening properly—requires replacement; 15. Blockages in other hoses, elbows, or water passages; 16. Poor water pump performance (insufficient coolant circulation).

How to Fix the Squeaking Noise of a Panoramic Sunroof?

Solutions for addressing the squeaking noise from a panoramic sunroof are as follows: 1. If the noise is caused by friction between the sunroof glass seal and the roof metal plate, cleaning the external seal area and applying some hand cream (commonly used by women) can resolve the issue. 2. If the noise is due to loose fixing screws of the sunroof, tightening the screws can eliminate the noise. Precautions for using a sunroof are as follows: 1. Before opening the sunroof, ensure there are no obstacles on the roof that might hinder its sliding. 2. Avoid using the sunroof on bumpy roads to prevent damage to the sunroof and sliding rail components caused by vibrations. 3. Do not open the sunroof during rainy days or when washing the car to prevent moisture or water droplets from accelerating the aging and rusting of the seals and metal parts. 4. If you wish to open the sunroof after rain, make sure to dry the water droplets on the roof first. This not only prevents the interior from getting wet but also avoids water seeping into the mechanical components, which could shorten their lifespan.

How Many Kilometers Should You Drive Before Replacing the Car Oil Filter?

Car oil filters are generally not replaced based on time intervals but rather on the mileage the vehicle has traveled, typically around 5,000 kilometers. This mileage coincides with the recommended interval for oil changes, so when you change the oil, service staff at 4S shops usually replace the oil filter at the same time. If you use fully synthetic or semi-synthetic oil, which allows for longer intervals between changes, you can delay replacing the oil filter until the next oil change. Since oil must pass through the filter to reach and lubricate engine components, it's advisable to replace the oil filter with a high-quality one when switching to oil that lasts longer between changes.
