Brake maintenance at 4S stores is unnecessary. Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of running locomotives, vehicles, other transportation tools, or machinery. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts related to the car. Its purpose is to maintain a clean appearance, normal technical condition, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service cycle. Car maintenance includes: 1. Replacing engine oil, oil filters, air conditioning filters, and air filters; 2. Checking the levels of coolant, battery fluid, and windshield washer fluid; 3. Checking the fluid levels of the brake and clutch systems, as well as the power steering fluid reservoir; 4. Inspecting all oil pipe interfaces in the system for leaks; 5. Checking front and rear lights; 6. Checking tire pressure and wear, and tightening screws according to specified torque.

I always worry about brake issues when driving. As an ordinary car owner, I think getting brake maintenance at a 4S shop is quite necessary—safety comes first, after all. The brake system tends to accumulate dust and wear parts. If ignored, the rotors and brake pads could wear out, making it dangerous if the brakes fail in an emergency. 4S shops have professional equipment and staff who perform comprehensive checks, replace fluids, clean out debris, and even uncover hidden issues like hydraulic leaks or loose bearings. Sure, the cost isn’t cheap, but it’s more reliable than roadside stalls, and the parts are genuine, extending the brake system’s lifespan. My neighbor once skimped and went to a small workshop—within half a year, the brakes had issues and needed repairs, costing more in the end. So, get regular maintenance at least once a year. Spending a little money saves hassle and lives—don’t skimp on safety.

What type of engine oil is suitable for Nissan Sylphy?

Nissan Sylphy uses the original 5W30 engine oil. Among the two types of engine oil, 5W30 and 0W20, the Sylphy tends to favor 5W30, which offers better low-temperature fluidity and can adapt to lower temperature environments. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, resulting in smoother cold starts for the car. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the value, the better it maintains viscosity at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in a Nissan Sylphy is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows. Start the engine for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out; Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply engine oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, fill about three-quarters of a standard oil bottle; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, perform necessary repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.

Where is the cabin air filter located in the Ford Mondeo Zhisheng?

Ford Mondeo Zhisheng's cabin air filter is located in front of the brake pedal area. Functions of the cabin air filter: 1. Ensures tight contact between the filter and housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. Separates solid impurities from the air such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles. 3. Adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc. from the air; provides strong and long-lasting moisture adsorption. 4. Prevents car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers, enhancing driving safety; supplies fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety; effectively sterilizes and deodorizes. 5. Maintains clean cabin air free from bacterial growth, creating a healthy environment; effectively separates solid impurities like dust, powder, and abrasive particles from the air; efficiently blocks pollen to prevent allergic reactions that could affect driving safety.

Official Solution for GLC Brake Noise?

GLC brake noise occurs when the vehicle first starts moving, and improves after pressing the accelerator a few times to warm up the car. More details about GLC noise are as follows: 1. Rust or hard spots on brake discs and pads, and noise from the suspension system and pressure bearings: The noise occurs when the vehicle first starts moving and improves after pressing the accelerator a few times. Noise from the suspension system and pressure bearings is due to the recent cold weather, which hardens rubber components, causing noise when braking due to force. The noise will improve after the car warms up. 2. Newly replaced brake pads not fitting well with old discs, causing noise: Brake pads need to be broken in to fit better with old discs, and the noise will improve after driving a few hundred kilometers. 3. Missing or damaged brake disc fixing screws and worn brake discs: Missing screws and worn brake discs should be checked and repaired promptly.
