How to Replace the Transmission Oil for Lavida?

Volkswagen Lavida's method for replacing automatic transmission oil is as follows: 1. Locate the automatic transmission oil drain screw at the bottom of the vehicle and unscrew it. 2. Drain the automatic transmission oil. 3. After completely draining, remove the automatic transmission oil pan. 4. Clean the automatic transmission filter with a cleaning agent, then blow it clean with a high-pressure air gun. 5. Use the gravity method to refill the oil, reinstall the oil pan after filling, and tighten the drain screw. Below is additional information about Lavida transmission oil: 1. It is best to have transmission oil replacement performed by a professional, typically taking about an hour. After replacing the new transmission oil, the vehicle will noticeably feel that the gears are lighter than before, and shifting becomes smoother and easier, which also helps save fuel. 2. Volkswagen Lavida's manufacturer-recommended interval for changing transmission oil is 60,000 kilometers. Although the automatic transmission can still operate beyond this mileage without replacement, it will not run as smoothly. 3. Timely maintenance and oil replacement help keep the transmission in good working condition and also contribute to extending the vehicle's lifespan.

When changing the transmission oil for the Lavida, I always park the car on level ground and engage the handbrake first to ensure safety. Then, I locate the transmission drain plug, usually positioned directly under the chassis, and carefully loosen it with a wrench to let the old oil flow into a large basin, avoiding splashing on myself. After the oil has completely drained, I tighten the drain plug. Next, I find the fill port, typically located in the engine bay or on the side, and slowly pour in the new oil using a small funnel while monitoring the fluid level. Once done, I start the engine and test shifting gears a few times in place to ensure smooth operation. Remember to use the oil type specified by Volkswagen—ATF for the Lavida’s automatic transmission and GL-4 or GL-5 for the manual—don’t mix them up. The oil change interval is every 40,000 kilometers, and the tools needed are just a wrench, oil basin, and gloves. The process is simple but requires caution as the oil can be hot and may burn your hands—it’s best to wait until the car has cooled down. After doing it a few times, I got the hang of it and saved a lot on repair costs.

Where is the spare tire of BMW Brilliance X3?

BMW Brilliance X3 does not come with a spare tire, but is equipped with run-flat tires as standard. Below is an introduction to the run-flat tires of BMW Brilliance X3: 1. The advantage of run-flat tires is that they enhance driving and handling sensations. By eliminating the need for a spare tire, the overall vehicle weight is reduced. Additionally, run-flat tires have thick sidewalls, providing a firmer road feel, which contributes to BMW's superior driving and handling sensations compared to other vehicles in the same class. 2. Run-flat tires, also known as "puncture-proof tires" or "low-pressure continuation tires," work by thickening the sidewalls. Even when deflated, the thick sidewalls still provide sufficient support to allow the vehicle to continue driving. However, this does not mean they are truly puncture-proof or unbreakable; they simply have a higher tolerance than other tires on the market, offering better safety. With run-flat tires, there is less worry about tire blowouts, eliminating the need to carry spare tires and repair tools, thus reducing travel burdens. 3. The principle of run-flat tires is that once tire pressure begins to drop, the RSC (Run-Flat System Component) immediately alerts the driver. Even if the tire pressure drops to zero, the RSC ensures the tire remains securely attached to the rim, allowing the vehicle to continue driving for a certain distance. Thanks to the specially designed rim hump, the EH2 (widened hump) rim prevents the tire from detaching from the rim after a sudden pressure drop. Depending on the vehicle load, these self-supporting tires enable the vehicle to continue driving at speeds up to 80 km/h for distances ranging from 50 to 250 kilometers even when the pressure is at its minimum.

What color are the Mazda 3 Axela wheels?

Mazda 3 Axela wheels are silver-gray. The differences between steel wheels and alloy wheels are as follows: 1. The main advantage of steel wheels is their simple manufacturing process, usually using casting technology. For example, aluminum alloy wheels generally use low-pressure casting technology, which has relatively low production costs and strong resistance to metal fatigue. 2. Steel wheels are heavier; the same wheel made of steel is much heavier than one made of aluminum alloy, resulting in greater inertial resistance, poorer heat dissipation, and a tendency to rust. 3. Alloy wheels are lighter, have lower inertial resistance, and higher manufacturing precision. They deform less during high-speed rotation, which helps improve the car's straight-line driving performance, reduces tire rolling resistance, and thereby decreases fuel consumption. 4. The thermal conductivity of alloy materials is about three times that of steel, providing better heat dissipation, which can help mitigate heat degradation in the vehicle's braking system, tires, and braking components.
