Highlander oil filter replacement method: 1. Place an old oil container under the oil pan, open the drain bolt, and drain the waste oil; 2. Move the old oil container under the oil filter and remove the old filter element; 3. Install the new oil filter. The functions of the oil filter: 1. Filter out impurities and particles in the oil; 2. Reduce the friction resistance between moving parts in the engine and minimize component wear. Oil filter maintenance: 1. Check the lubricating oil level and add oil as required if the oil level is insufficient; 2. When installing the oil filter, apply a layer of oil on the surface of the sealing ring to ensure reliable sealing; 3. Regularly clean the oil filter mounting surface.

Is Cleaning Spark Plugs Useful?

Cleaning spark plugs is not useful. When spark plugs reach the end of their lifespan, their internal components age, leading to poor acceleration and increased fuel consumption, which cleaning cannot resolve. The gap between the spark plug electrodes significantly affects their performance. If the gap is too small, the spark will be weak and prone to carbon buildup and leakage. If the gap is too large, the required breakdown voltage increases, making the engine harder to start and more likely to misfire at high speeds. Therefore, the spark plug gap should be properly adjusted. The standard for spark plugs typically uses the heat value to characterize their thermal properties. The heat value indicates the balance between heat absorption and dissipation in the spark plug insulator's skirt. A higher heat value means better heat absorption and dissipation balance. Thus, hot-type spark plugs have a low heat value, while cold-type spark plugs have a high heat value. Generally, high-power, high-compression engines use cold-type spark plugs with high heat values, whereas low-power, low-compression engines use hot-type spark plugs with low heat values.

What does VVL engine mean?

VVL engine stands for Variable Valve Lift, which is a system that changes the opening degree of the valves. While variable valve timing systems adjust the timing of valve opening and closing, variable valve lift alters the extent of valve opening. In traditional gasoline engines, the valve lift is fixed and unchangeable, meaning the camshaft has only one cam profile. This limitation prevents the engine from achieving optimal performance in both high-speed and low-speed ranges. The valve lift and cam profile in conventional gasoline engines are designed as a compromise for balanced performance across all operating conditions. The adoption of VVL technology allows the engine to achieve the required valve lift in both high-speed and low-speed ranges, thereby improving high-speed power and low-speed torque.

Does the Arrizo 5 have tire pressure monitoring?

Arrizo 5 is equipped with tire pressure monitoring, which automatically monitors the tire pressure in real-time during driving and alerts the driver in case of tire leakage or low pressure to ensure driving safety. When the tire pressure is too high, it reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, while the pressure the tire bears increases relatively, affecting the tire's grip. The Arrizo 5 is a sedan produced by Chery, featuring the family-style exterior design of the Arrizo series with more sporty adjustments in details. The interior and configurations have also been upgraded, and it is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated or 1.2T turbocharged engine. The dimensions of the Arrizo 5 are 4572mm in length, 1825mm in width, 1482mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2670mm.

Why is there water leaking from the front of the car?

The reasons for water leaking from the front of the car are: 1. Condensation water dripping from the air conditioning system in use; 2. Coolant system failure in the radiator causing leakage; 3. Windshield washer fluid dripping. Inspection and troubleshooting methods: 1. Check if the radiator coolant is low, then inspect the coolant system pipes for looseness or damage, and check the bottom of the radiator for scratches from grounding; 2. Ensure the coolant reservoir level is not too full; 3. Inspect the windshield washer fluid reservoir and its pipes and connections for looseness or damage; 4. Determine if the dripping is caused by prolonged use of the air conditioning on hot days, leading to condensation water drainage; 5. Check if the leaking water is colored, as colored water indicates a leak in the coolant system, which should be repaired.

How to distinguish intake and exhaust valve seals on Mitsubishi Pajero?

Mitsubishi Pajero valve seals can be distinguished by color: blue indicates intake, while brown indicates exhaust. The function of valves is to specifically input air into the engine and expel exhaust gases after combustion. Structurally, engine valves are divided into intake valves and exhaust valves. The active safety system of the Mitsubishi Pajero helps drivers avoid traffic accidents, such as the four-wheel ABS system combined with an electronic brake-force distribution system. Passive safety features include dual airbag systems for both the driver and front passenger, an energy-absorbing steering column, and side impact bars, which reduce the risk of injury to occupants in the event of an accident.
