As an average car enthusiast who enjoys tinkering with vehicles, I can share some tips to differentiate between CVT7 and CVT8. The key is to check the car model—CVT7 is commonly installed in small-displacement vehicles like older Sentra and Tiida economy models, typically released before 2015. CVT8, on the other hand, is an upgraded version used in SUVs such as Rogue and X-Trail or larger cars like Maxima, becoming popular after 2015. You can also distinguish them by checking the label in the engine bay: CVT7 serial numbers start with "J" and usually have blue labels, while CVT8 starts with "M" and has green labels. The torque difference is significant—CVT7 struggles with high torque and may jerk during acceleration, whereas CVT8 operates much smoother. If unsure, checking the owner’s manual or contacting Nissan customer service with the VIN is the quickest way. Avoid mixing them up to prevent issues with oil changes and maintenance.

How far can a rearview camera see is considered normal?

Rearview cameras can see a distance of more than 3 meters. The following are the advantages and disadvantages of rearview cameras compared to parking sensors: Advantages of rearview cameras compared to parking sensors: Simple installation. Generally, a single-output rearview camera only requires connecting the positive power wire to the positive terminal of the car's reverse light power, and the negative power wire to the negative terminal of the reverse light or to the ground (GND). The wiring can be easily understood with a little research based on the car model, and the camera can be installed by drilling a hole in an easy-to-install position. It provides a clear view. Once the car is put into reverse gear, the real-time image of the rear of the car is clearly displayed, making it easier for the driver to judge. Disadvantages of rearview cameras compared to parking sensors: In terms of proactiveness, the rearview camera requires the driver to first observe the dynamic images on the display screen during reversing, meaning the situation can only be understood by looking. However, parking sensors can alert the driver with a sound when an obstacle is close to the right side of the car while the driver is observing the left side.

How often should a car be serviced?

Generally, a car should be serviced every 5,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information about car maintenance: First maintenance time: Some manufacturers determine the first maintenance time based on either time or mileage. The exact first maintenance time should be referred to in the vehicle's user manual or warranty manual. The first maintenance is very important and is usually free, so it is essential to remember to do it to avoid missing it, which could affect the car's third maintenance. Maintenance items: Main car maintenance items include replacing engine oil, oil filters, transmission oil, spark plugs, air conditioning filters, air filters, brake fluid, etc. However, not all these items need to be replaced during every maintenance session, as it depends on their service life. Additionally, maintenance involves the inspection and upkeep of dozens of items across multiple systems, including the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires.

Why Are Steering Wheels on the Right Side in Foreign Countries?

Only the United Kingdom, former British colonies, and a few other countries have designed cars with the steering wheel on the right side, which is said to be due to Napoleon's requirement. Not all foreign cars have the steering wheel on the right side. Many countries have steering wheels on the same side as ours. It is said that this originates from the habit of carriage drivers sitting on the left and driving on the right. Currently, there are two popular systems in the world: one is right-hand drive, and the other is left-hand drive. Approximately 90% of countries in the world drive on the right side, while the remaining countries drive on the left. When Karl Benz first invented the car, the steering wheel was centered. However, based on ergonomic principles, over 90% of people are accustomed to using their right hand. To accurately and safely use the gears and brakes, designers naturally placed the driver's seat on the right side. As early as the carriage era, people and vehicles in Europe had the habit of driving on the right. When cars were first introduced, most car owners hired drivers. To make it easier for drivers to open the door for the owner, early cars naturally drove on the left. Over the course of history, different countries have developed their own unique styles.
