The steps for changing engine oil are as follows: 1. First, start the car engine and let it run until the water temperature reaches the normal operating range before shutting it off. This allows the oil to circulate fully within the engine, helping to flush out any impurities. 2. Next, use a car lift to raise the vehicle. If a lift is not available, a jack can be used as an alternative, although it may be less convenient to operate. 3. Then, use the vehicle's toolkit to loosen the oil pan bolt and use a specialized wrench to open the oil filter. Note that the oil flow from the drain port is slow, so this is a good time to open the filter for secondary drainage. 4. Finally, after all the old oil has drained completely, use a wrench to install the new oil filter and pour the appropriate amount of oil (meeting specifications) into the oil pan.

Should Automatic Transmission Cars Shift to Neutral at Traffic Lights?

Automatic transmission cars should shift to neutral at traffic lights, and using the handbrake will be safer. Shifting to N (neutral) and applying the handbrake can save some fuel because the passive wheel in the torque converter of the transmission is in an idling state at this time, which does not increase the engine's operating load, thereby reducing fuel consumption. It is not recommended to use P (park) at traffic lights because shifting from P to D (drive) can easily cause a reverse movement, which may affect the vehicle behind and, in severe cases, lead to a rear-end collision. Of course, the driver would also bear some responsibility. Using D (drive) with the foot brake at traffic lights is also not ideal, as the passive wheel in the torque converter between the engine and transmission is fixed, creating a counterforce that acts on the driving wheel, increasing the engine's load. This can be understood as hindering the engine's operation, causing the engine ECU to increase fuel injection, leading to higher fuel consumption.

What are the body dimensions of the Audi Q7?

Audi Q7's body dimensions are: length 5069mm, width 1968mm, height 1716mm, with a wheelbase of 3001mm. The Audi Q7 is positioned as a mid-to-large-size SUV, which skillfully integrates sportiness, functionality, high technology, and luxury quality. The Audi Q7 is equipped with a four-wheel steering system. At low speeds, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction when steering, reducing the turning radius and the width of the driving trajectory. At high speeds, the rear wheels turn in the same direction, improving wheel response speed, dynamic performance, and stability. Additionally, the four-wheel steering system effectively assists the intelligent parking system and trailer assist system.

What are the differences between new energy vehicles and conventional vehicles?

The differences between new energy vehicles and conventional vehicles are: 1. Different power sources: Conventional vehicles use gasoline as their power source; new energy vehicles use solar energy, electricity, natural gas, etc. as their power sources. 2. Different cores: The core of conventional vehicles is the engine, transmission, and chassis; the core of new energy vehicles is the motor, battery, and electronic control. 3. Different production costs: Conventional vehicles have a longer development history, and the production and assembly costs of parts from global automakers are relatively fixed; the production costs of new energy vehicles are much higher than those of conventional vehicles. In addition to the relatively higher total usage costs of new energy vehicles themselves, the production and labor costs for technical R&D and vehicle design of new energy vehicles are also at a relatively high stage currently.
