After driving the Changan Oshan X7, I found checking the remaining fuel level incredibly intuitive. Once you start the car, look at the center of the instrument panel—there’s a fuel gauge display bar, usually with a pointer or digital readout showing the real-time fuel level. Some versions allow you to toggle the display on the instrument cluster’s small screen to show remaining range; just press the steering wheel buttons to switch views and see how many kilometers you can still drive. I’ve made it a habit to glance at it before driving, especially before long trips or mountain roads, to avoid running too low on fuel. Additionally, the fuel gauge updates automatically based on consumption—like when I accelerate hard or get stuck in traffic, the level drops faster, so I’ve developed a routine of checking it every time I start the car for safety and peace of mind. In daily driving, this feature helps me plan refueling stops, ensuring smoother trips with fewer unexpected worries.

Does the Malibu XL Have a Particulate Filter?

Malibu XL is equipped with a particulate filter. There are 9 models of Malibu XL, all of which have particulate filters to meet the China VI emission standards. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine's emission system, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Working principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the engine's exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipe. After passing through the densely arranged bag-type filters inside, the carbon particles are adsorbed onto the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, turning the adsorbed carbon particles into harmless carbon dioxide that is then expelled. To check whether the Malibu XL has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, you can carefully check the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" warning light indicator. Check the label above the oil filler cap. If the oil cap clearly indicates 0W-20 grade oil, it means the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter. Look at the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter to see if there is a cylindrical section. If there is, that is the particulate filter.

How Often Should Vehicle Antifreeze Be Replaced?

Vehicle antifreeze generally needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. This is just a reference interval. For commercial vehicles with higher mileage, the replacement cycle should be shorter. Since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the replacement should be determined based on actual usage. Regularly check the antifreeze condition. If the level is low, replenish it promptly. If suspended particles, sediment, or discoloration are observed, replace the antifreeze immediately and flush the system. The antifreeze replacement procedure is as follows: Before a complete replacement, conduct a thorough inspection to check for leaks or cracks in all pipes, with special attention to the five-way hose. Antifreeze is distributed to different parts of the vehicle through this hose. If leaks are detected, replace the hose or reseal the connections as needed. Drain the old antifreeze, then flush the channels with clean water. Add water to the antifreeze reservoir and continuously flush the engine cooling system. Let the engine idle for 3-5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the drained water may appear slightly pink. Continue flushing until the water runs clear. Remember to disconnect the heater hose and drain the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add new antifreeze through the radiator hose. Then fill the antifreeze reservoir until nearly full. Run the engine for about 10 minutes. As air is purged from the system, the fluid level will drop. Top up the antifreeze to the "MAX" mark on the reservoir.

What does the AC switch in a car mean?

Car AC switch is the cooling on/off button for the vehicle's air conditioning system. When pressed, the air conditioning compressor will operate. Below is relevant information about the automotive air conditioning system: 1. After turning on the AC switch, the vehicle's computer receives the signal from the AC switch, and then sends a signal to the air conditioning compressor. 2. Press the AC button and rotate the temperature selection switch to the blue section, then cold air will blow out from the car's air conditioning. 3. Essentially, the AC button controls whether the compressor operates. Inside the compressor, there is an electromagnetically controlled clutch. When its coil is energized, the electromagnetic clutch engages and the compressor works. Otherwise, the compressor's pulley just spins idly without the compressor actually operating.

What to Do If the Vehicle Still Fails to Start After a Jump Start?

What to Do If the Vehicle Still Fails to Start After a Jump Start: 1. If the car battery is dead, you can seek a jump start from another vehicle. Before jump-starting, ensure all electrical devices in the dead vehicle are turned off to avoid accidentally reversing the battery terminals, which could cause a short circuit and damage the vehicle's electronic components. 2. If the car still fails to start after a jump start, the issue might be with the jumper cables being too thin. When purchasing jumper cables, always opt for genuine, quality-assured ones, preferably thicker with an outer diameter of at least 10mm. 3. Another possible reason for the vehicle not starting after a jump start is insufficient charging time. Generally, after jump-starting, let the rescue vehicle run for a while—wait about 5-10 minutes before attempting to start the dead vehicle. If it starts, keep the previously dead vehicle running for about 30 minutes to allow the alternator to recharge the battery. 4. If the vehicle still won't start, the issue might be with the engine, requiring inspection and repair at a service center or 4S shop. 5. If the battery has been used for an extended period, sulfation may occur. If the sulfation is mild, recharge the battery with a low current for at least 12 hours. For severe sulfation, replace the electrolyte before recharging.
