To reset the maintenance mileage reminder on a BMW, follow these steps: Turn the ignition to the second position, then press and hold the protruding button on the lower left corner of the instrument panel for about 8 seconds. The oil or a symbol will appear on the dashboard. Release the button and then adjust to the oil symbol. Press and hold the button again to complete the reset. Methods to avoid exceeding the maintenance mileage: 1. When the vehicle is approaching the maintenance mileage, the vehicle's information display system will usually provide a reminder. Therefore, the owner should try not to continue driving. Although exceeding by 500-1000 km does not have a significant impact on the vehicle, it is still advisable to perform maintenance as required. 2. Before long-distance driving, it is best to check the vehicle's technical condition and properly inflate the tires to avoid unexpected incidents during the trip. 3. For vehicles that have already exceeded the maintenance mileage, they should be sent to a repair shop for maintenance promptly. Otherwise, any issues that arise may become more severe.

When Should the Rear Axle Oil Be Changed?

According to different oil brands, the replacement intervals vary. Below are the relevant details: 1. Generally, for most oil brands, the rear axle gear oil should be replaced every 20,000-30,000 kilometers or approximately every six months. Recommended brands include Shell or Great Wall. 2. Additionally, the replacement interval depends on the vehicle's load conditions. Typically, imported cars require replacement every 40,000 kilometers, domestic mid-sized cars every 20,000 kilometers, and micro cars every 10,000 kilometers. 3. Gear oil primarily refers to the lubricant used in transmissions and rear axles. It differs from engine oil in terms of usage conditions, composition, and performance. Gear oil mainly functions to lubricate gears and bearings, prevent wear and corrosion, and assist in heat dissipation for the gears.

What Type of Engine Oil is Best for Cars in Summer?

Car engine oils for summer use are graded as: 20, 30, 40, 50. The higher the number, the greater the viscosity, and the higher the maximum applicable temperature. Below are the relevant details: 1. The number following the SAE oil grade indicates the lowest suitable temperature. 5w-30 degrees, 10w-25 degrees, 15w-20 degrees. Therefore, by checking the grade of oil you are using and comparing it with the local winter's lowest temperature, you can determine if your oil is suitable. 2. The oil grade for summer use is SAE10W-40, meaning that if the lowest temperature does not drop below minus 25 degrees, there is no need to switch to an oil with better low-temperature resistance in winter. For summer, it's advisable to choose an oil with higher viscosity, and 10W-40 oil is very suitable for summer use.

What are the symptoms of a bad car air conditioning pump?

If the air conditioning pump is faulty, the most obvious symptom is the inability of the air conditioning system to cool. Below are the relevant details: 1. There are many reasons for abnormal noises from the air conditioning pump, such as damage to the compressor electromagnetic clutch, severe internal wear of the compressor, etc. The electromagnetic clutch is a common source of abnormal noises due to its location, making it prone to exposure to rain and dirt. When the bearings inside the electromagnetic clutch are damaged, abnormal noises occur. Additionally, a compressor drive belt that is too loose or too tight, lack of lubricating oil, or repeated engagement of the electromagnetic clutch can all cause abnormal noises. 2. Leakage in the air conditioning pump is also a common issue, with the specific leakage location being the junction between the compressor and the high and low-pressure pipes. When refrigerant leaks, compressor lubricating oil is also lost, leading to poor compression by the air conditioning pump or the air conditioning system not working. 3. Moreover, there are many reasons why the air conditioning system may not work, most of which are related to electrical circuits. A preliminary check can be done by directly supplying power to the compressor electromagnetic clutch to determine if it is faulty.
