Methods to prevent rolling back during a hill start: 1. Place the gear lever in neutral, firmly engage the handbrake to ensure no rolling; 2. Depress the clutch pedal fully with your left foot, shift into first gear, hold the steering wheel at the 9 o'clock position with your left hand, and grip the handbrake with your right hand; 3. Gradually release the clutch with your left foot to the half-engagement point, when the vehicle begins to vibrate and shows a forward tendency, start gently pressing the accelerator pedal with your right foot while pressing the handbrake release button with your right hand; 4. Only when the vehicle moves forward should you fully release the handbrake with your right hand; 5. Continue releasing the clutch with your left foot until it's fully disengaged, and keep pressing the accelerator with your right foot to climb the slope. During the start, avoid prolonged acceleration in the half-engagement state. Once the vehicle is propelled by the accelerator, it won't roll back, then you can release the clutch pedal and press the accelerator to start.

Does Engine Lubricating Oil Have an Expiration Date?

Engine lubricating oil does not have an expiration date. As long as it is stored properly, it generally does not affect usage within three years. Storage conditions for lubricating oil: 1. Excessively low or high temperatures can impact the quality of lubricating oil, so it should not be stored in overly hot or cold environments for extended periods; 2. If lubricating oil is improperly stored and becomes contaminated with dust or water, it may appear cloudy or develop sediment, in which case it should be discontinued immediately. Functions of engine lubricating oil: 1. Corrosion and rust prevention, requiring protection of friction surfaces from oil deterioration or external contaminants; 2. Friction reduction and wear resistance, lowering frictional resistance to conserve energy, reducing wear to extend mechanical lifespan, and improving economic efficiency, among other benefits.

How to Replace the Oil Filter on a GS4?

GS4 oil filter replacement method: 1. Run the engine to operating temperature, then jack up the car, engage the handbrake, and wedge the front wheels with wooden blocks; 2. Drain the engine oil by opening the oil drain plug located underneath the vehicle, allowing the lubricant to flow out; 3. After loosening the oil filter element, the oil flow rate will slow down. At this point, you can remove the oil filter for secondary drainage. Removing the oil filter requires effort and a specialized filter wrench. Ensure all residual oil in the compartment is drained; 4. Once all oil has drained, replace the oil filter. Install the new filter using the filter wrench, tighten it, then secure the drain plug and lower the vehicle; 5. Apply a suitable amount of new oil to the seal ring of the new oil filter before opening it. Wipe off any oil and dirt from the filter mating surface with a clean cloth. Install the new filter and tighten it with the appropriate oil filter wrench, then wipe the new filter clean; 6. Tighten the drain plug, lower the vehicle, add new oil, and check the oil level. Start the vehicle and let it idle at medium speed for a while, observing whether the oil filter leaks.
