The method to check the oil dipstick on a Haval M6 is as follows: The oil dipstick of the Haval M6 is usually located next to the engine. Make sure the vehicle is cooled down. After pulling out the dipstick for the first time, wipe it clean with a clean tissue, then reinsert it. Upon pulling it out the second time, you can check the oil level on the dipstick. If the oil level is between the upper and lower limits, it indicates that the oil level is normal. To check the oil dipstick, first pull it out, then wipe off any residual oil with a cloth before reinserting it into the oil pan. This is because, during normal engine operation, oil splashed by the crankshaft may adhere to the dipstick, which can mix with the oil in the oil pan and affect the accuracy of the oil level reading.

I've been driving a Haval M6 for several years and regularly check the oil dipstick, doing it before every refueling or long trip. After parking the car and turning off the engine, I wait a few minutes to let the oil flow back to the oil pan for safety. Open the hood and locate the yellow-handled dipstick near the engine, gently pulling it out without using too much force. Wipe the oil off the tip with a tissue, then reinsert it fully and wait a few seconds before pulling it out again. At this point, check if the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum indicators—mid-level is ideal. If it's below the minimum line, add the same type of oil, but don't overfill it; too much oil can cause issues. I make it a habit to check monthly because engine oil is the lifeblood of the engine. Regular maintenance reduces wear, extends the car's lifespan, and saves on repair costs. If you run low on oil and discover it too late, leading to cylinder scoring and major repairs, it would be a huge loss.

As a beginner just getting familiar with the Haval M6, I was initially confused too, but I learned a simple inspection method. The key is to wait for the car to cool down for ten minutes after turning it off to avoid burns. Pull the hood release lever from the driver's seat to open it, then locate the small handle with the oil icon in the engine compartment—that's the dipstick. If the oil mark isn't clear after pulling it out, wipe it clean with a dry cloth, reinsert it until it clicks into place, wait a moment, then pull it out again to check the oil level directly. The oil line should be between the two marked lines. If it's below the lower limit, add a small amount of suitable oil to top it up. Make it a habit to check every time after washing the car to prevent issues from accumulating, maintain good car condition, and save trouble later on.

What maintenance is needed for a car at 30,000 kilometers?

At 30,000 kilometers, car maintenance requires changing the engine oil, replacing the oil filter, replacing the air filter, replacing the cabin air filter, cleaning the throttle body, replacing the brake fluid, replacing the coolant, replacing the spark plugs, and changing the brake fluid. Generally, for the first maintenance of a new car, only the engine oil and oil filter need to be replaced, followed by some routine inspections. Changing the engine oil and oil filter is a mandatory task because the oil's shelf life is significantly shortened under the harsh conditions of high temperature and high pressure inside the engine, leading to a substantial decrease in performance. Over time, the oil can no longer protect the engine effectively. The oil filter is used to prevent impurities from mixing with the oil, which can cause oxidation, leading to the formation of sludge and clogging the oil passages.

What is the principle of foam fire extinguishers in extinguishing fires?

Foam fire extinguishers primarily work on the principles of cooling and suffocation. They form a continuous foam layer on the surface of the burning material, cooling it through the foam itself and the released mixed liquid, while also isolating the burning material from oxygen via the foam layer's coverage, thereby achieving fire suppression. Foam fire extinguishers are categorized into portable foam fire extinguishers, cart-type foam fire extinguishers, and air foam fire extinguishers. They should be stored in a dry, cool, well-ventilated, and easily accessible location, away from high temperatures or areas prone to direct sunlight to prevent the decomposition of carbonates and loss of effectiveness. In winter, anti-freezing measures should be taken to prevent freezing, and regular dust removal and nozzle cleaning are necessary to ensure smooth operation.

How to Turn Off Mazda's Auto Start-Stop?

Method to turn off Mazda's auto start-stop: 1. First, power on the car; 2. Locate the 'istop' button on the vehicle's center console, which represents the auto start-stop function; 3. Press and hold this button until the dashboard light turns yellow, indicating that the auto start-stop system is turned off. Pressing the button again will turn the auto start-stop system back on. Mazda's auto start-stop system employs a combustion-based restart method, which is significantly different from traditional auto start-stop systems. This means that when the vehicle restarts after stalling, the starter motor only plays an auxiliary role, while the main starting force comes from the pre-compressed cylinder before the engine stalls.

Can Regular Quotas Be Used to Purchase New Energy Vehicles?

Yes. Units or individuals holding regular passenger car quotas can purchase and register new energy passenger cars. Here are the relevant details: Regulations: According to the "Beijing Municipal Measures for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Commercial Vehicles," new energy commercial vehicles that meet the city's technical, safety, and after-sales service requirements and complete the filing process can apply for municipal financial subsidies after obtaining local vehicle registration plates and central subsidy funds. Definition: Beijing encourages the purchase and use of new energy vehicles, with relevant financial subsidy policies to be separately formulated in accordance with the "Notice on Adjusting and Improving Financial Subsidy Policies for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles." Additionally, new energy vehicles are defined as pure electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles legally permitted for sale in China. This means plug-in hybrid vehicles are still not classified as new energy vehicles in Beijing.
