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.

Is the Ruicheng CC dual-clutch transmission dry or wet?

The Changan Ruicheng CC is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, which pairs with the engine for short response times and high efficiency, enabling quick adaptation to various complex road conditions during daily driving. The fuel consumption of the Changan Ruicheng CC Blue Whale Edition is very low, with a combined fuel consumption of only 6.2L per 100 kilometers. The dimensions of the Ruicheng CC are 4800/1825/1465mm, with a wheelbase of 2770mm. Compared to the Ruicheng CC, the body length has been increased while maintaining the same wheelbase. The side profile features a dual-waistline design, enhancing the vehicle's stylish and dynamic visual appeal. The Ruicheng CC is powered by a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum output of 115kW. For transmission, the main models are paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission from Aisin. The lower-end models also offer a 5-speed manual transmission option. Additionally, the entire lineup comes standard with enhanced independent suspension, featuring front MacPherson struts, high-strength lateral stabilizer bars, lateral force compensation springs, and dual-channel top supports.

How Much Can a Private Car Carry Before It's Considered Freight Transport?

Passenger cars can carry items, but the loaded goods must not exceed the vehicle's dimensions or affect normal driving. Here are the specific details: 1. According to Article 48 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China,' motor vehicles carrying goods must comply with the approved load capacity, and overloading is strictly prohibited. The length, width, and height of the goods must not violate loading requirements, and the cargo must not spill or scatter. 2. If a motor vehicle transports oversized, indivisible items that affect traffic safety, it must travel at the time, route, and speed designated by the traffic management department of the public security authority, with clear signage displayed. For transporting such items on highways, the provisions of the Highway Law must also be followed. 3. Motor vehicles transporting explosives, flammable and explosive chemicals, highly toxic, radioactive, or other hazardous materials must obtain approval from the public security authority, travel at the designated time, route, and speed, display warning signs, and take necessary safety measures.

What are the disadvantages of a rotary engine?

The disadvantages of a rotary engine include high fuel consumption and heavy pollution. The components have a short lifespan because the three apexes of the rotor are responsible for sealing (there are sealing components similar to piston rings on the apexes), and they operate under conditions of poor lubrication for extended periods, leading to premature wear. Below is relevant information about rotary engines: 1. The advantages of a rotary engine compared to traditional four-stroke engines at the time were obvious: simpler structure, smaller size and weight, lower center of gravity, smoother operation, less vibration, and, more importantly, the ability to achieve greater power with a smaller displacement. Taking the RX-8's engine as an example, with a 1.3L displacement, it can output power close to that of a 2.5L naturally aspirated or 1.8T engine. 2. The disadvantages of a rotary engine are also evident. The rotor completes three power strokes per revolution, and the higher RPM and stronger power result in higher fuel consumption, lower combustion efficiency, and incomplete combustion, leading to severely excessive exhaust emissions. Due to its different structure, taxation in various countries is calculated at double the rate, resulting in higher taxes. 3. The biggest drawback of a rotary engine is the severe oil burning and wear during operation due to its different sealing method, leading to a much shorter lifespan compared to four-stroke engines.

What Material is the Car Radiator Made of?

The car radiator is primarily made of aluminum or copper. Below is a relevant introduction to the radiator: 1. Function: The car radiator, also known as a heat exchanger, is a key component in the car's cooling system, designed to dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator where the heat is dissipated, and then returns to the water jacket to circulate, achieving temperature regulation. It is an integral part of the car engine. 2. Working Principle: The coolant flows inside the radiator core, while air passes outside the radiator core. The hot coolant cools down by transferring heat to the air, and the cold air heats up by absorbing the heat dissipated by the coolant. Thus, the radiator acts as a heat exchanger.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Accelerating in a Levin?

The reasons for abnormal noise when accelerating in a Levin are as follows: 1. Possible engine noise, usually a metallic screeching or wind-like whistling sound. 2. Possible transmission noise, if there is abnormal noise inside the transmission while driving, which disappears when the clutch or accelerator is pressed. 3. There may be a whistling-like sound when shifting gears or abnormal noise from the doors. Below are the solutions for abnormal noise when accelerating in a Levin: 1. Engine-related solution: Engine noise indicates a change in the technical state of a certain engine mechanism, mainly caused by excessive wear of some parts or improper assembly and adjustment. Some noises may even predict potential catastrophic engine damage. Therefore, when engine noise occurs, it should be repaired promptly to prevent the fault from escalating. 2. Transmission-related solution: During analysis and judgment, pay attention to whether the noise is related to specific speeds, certain gears (if a particular gear is noisy, it is definitely related to components affecting that gear's transmission), or specific actions. 3. Door-related solution: Door noise is mainly caused by lack of lubrication. Special door accessory lubricating grease should be used, as engine oil or ordinary grease is not suitable—it may freeze in winter, and harmful odors can affect health.
