New cars can use break-in additives as needed. A break-in additive is a lubricating additive with ultra-strong cleaning and dispersing effects, providing exceptional protection for the engine during the break-in period. It prevents common issues such as "cylinder scoring," "bearing seizure," and premature wear that are prone to occur during break-in. The benefits of using a break-in additive for new cars include the following three points: 1. Effectively improves the rough surfaces of metal components during break-in, promoting smoother interaction between parts; 2. Enhances lubrication, reduces excessive wear of mechanical parts, and minimizes vibration and noise; 3. Automatically cleans carbon deposits and sludge at the valves, hydraulic lifters, and piston rings during operation.

How to Identify the Manufacturing Date of a Tire?

To identify the manufacturing date of a tire, look for a 4-digit number on the outer surface of the tire. This number represents the production date: the first two digits indicate the week of the year, and the last two digits represent the year. For example, a tire marked with "3509" means it was manufactured in the 35th week of 2009, which corresponds to September 2009. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims, designed to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, ensure contact with the road, and maintain driving performance. If severe tire wear is detected, it can reduce braking efficiency, necessitating prompt replacement.

What are the methods for defogging car windows?

Methods for defogging car windows include: 1. Turn on the front window defogging mode, set the fan speed to maximum, turn on the AC switch, and adjust the temperature to the lowest setting. Additionally, some models are equipped with rear window and side mirror electric heating—simply press the switch, and the fog will clear within a minute; 2. Air convection: Opening the windows increases air convection, reduces the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, and weakens the conditions for fog formation; 3. Use a defogging spray: Simply spray it evenly on the glass surface and wipe it clean with a dry towel. The principle is to use surfactants to form a protective film on the glass surface, altering the surface tension of water molecules, causing fog droplets to coalesce into larger droplets that do not obstruct vision.

What brand is landsail tires?

Landsail is a brand of tires under Qingdao Sentury Tire Co., Ltd., which also owns the Sentury, Landsail, and Delinte series. Tires are round, elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery for rolling contact with the ground. They are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface, and work together with the vehicle suspension to mitigate the impact forces experienced during driving. The functions of tires include: 1. Ensuring good ride comfort and driving smoothness; 2. Ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. Improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities; 4. Supporting the weight of the vehicle.

What are the gears of an automatic car?

Common automatic transmissions are divided into two types: one is pure automatic transmission; the other is manual-automatic transmission. Pure automatic transmissions generally have P, R, N, D (D3), D2, and L; while manual-automatic transmissions have P, R, N, D, and M/S. The specific introductions are as follows: First, pure automatic transmissions generally have P, R, N, D (D3), D2, and L: 1. P gear: refers to the parking gear. 2. R gear: R is the reverse gear. 3. N gear: N is the neutral gear. 4. D gear: D is the drive gear. Second, manual-automatic transmissions: 1. The gears of manual-automatic transmissions: P, R, N, D, and M/S. 2. M/S gear: P, R, N, and D gears are no different from those of pure automatic transmissions, the difference lies in the M/S gear, which is the manual mode gear (sometimes also called the sports mode).

What are the reasons for the high fuel consumption of the Teana?

The reasons for the high fuel consumption of the Teana: If the high fuel consumption is not caused by a car malfunction, it is mainly related to the driver's personal driving habits, vehicle load, tire pressure, and travel route planning. Reducing fuel consumption also requires starting from these aspects. The following is the method for calculating fuel consumption: Calculate fuel consumption based on the relationship between distance and speed. 1. Record the mileage: Fill the car with fuel until the pump stops automatically, and record the current mileage. 2. Record the amount of fuel added: The next time you refuel, fill it until the pump stops automatically again, and record the amount of fuel added. 3. Calculate using the formula: Calculate the distance traveled since the last refueling, and then determine the fuel consumption based on the relationship between distance and speed.
