BYD is a Chinese brand, primarily producing commercial vehicles, family cars, and batteries. The brands under BYD include Furei and Surui. Taking Surui as an example, in terms of body dimensions, the car measures 3605mm in length, 1468mm in width, and 1470mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2755mm. The BYD Surui is the successor to BYD's first mid-size car, the F6. In terms of design style, its robust and sharp appearance effectively distinguishes it from the BYD G6, which is more conservative. Rich configurations are a consistent feature of BYD, and this characteristic will continue to be preserved in the Surui.

What are the symptoms indicating brake fluid needs replacement?

The symptoms indicating brake fluid needs replacement are: 1. The brake warning light alarms or flashes during emergency braking or continuous braking; 2. The braking distance becomes significantly longer than before during emergency braking; 3. The brake pedal feels soft or weak when pressed; 4. The braking force feels inconsistent (sometimes light, sometimes heavy) during braking. The steps for replacing brake fluid are: 1. Park the vehicle on level ground, turn off the engine, open the hood, and drain the fluid from the reservoir; 2. Use a funnel to fill the reservoir with new brake fluid; 3. Jack up the vehicle and start removing the tires from the rear wheels; 4. Remove the rubber dust caps on the brake calipers; 5. Loosen the bleeder screws with a wrench, attach a rubber tube to them, and connect it to a drainage bottle; 6. Have someone press the brake pedal inside the vehicle while observing the fluid drainage until the fluid level in the reservoir reaches the lower limit; 7. Start the vehicle and test the brakes in a relatively safe area.

Which has higher viscosity, 0w40 or 5w40?

5w40 has higher viscosity. The number before W represents the minimum temperature it can withstand. The smaller the number, the lower the low-temperature viscosity, the better the low-temperature fluidity, the lower the applicable minimum temperature, and the easier it is to start in cold conditions. The number after W represents the viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The larger the number, the higher the viscosity, allowing it to form a good oil film at high engine temperatures and be suitable for a wider range of temperatures. Below is some relevant information about engine oil: 1. Function of engine oil: Engine oil lubricates and reduces friction, assists in cooling, seals against leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and provides shock absorption. It is known as the "blood" of a car. Choosing the right oil and changing it regularly can maintain the engine in good condition and extend its lifespan. 2. Choosing engine oil: The best oil is not necessarily the most expensive; rather, it should be selected based on the characteristics of the car's engine and driving habits. Engine oil can be categorized based on winter and summer use. For winter, the primary consideration is the low-temperature viscosity grade, while in summer, due to high temperatures, there is no need to choose oil with a superior low-temperature viscosity grade.

Is It Normal for Fuel Consumption to Increase After the First Maintenance?

After changing to new engine oil during the first maintenance, the engine's transmission components and cylinders need time to adapt to the new oil, and a new oil film gradually forms. Therefore, it is normal for fuel consumption to slightly increase and for the engine noise to be slightly louder immediately after the oil change (it is advisable to avoid high speeds and excessive engine RPM). Additionally, if the new oil is overfilled (exceeding the upper limit on the dipstick, increasing crankshaft rotation resistance) or is unsuitable (having excessively high high-temperature viscosity), it can also lead to increased fuel consumption. The main factors affecting a car's fuel consumption include: 1. Advanced automotive technology: The vehicle's weight, aerodynamics, and engine thermal efficiency are three key technologies related to fuel consumption. 2. Good vehicle condition: Besides keeping the car clean, proper maintenance is crucial, such as lubricating wheel hub bearings regularly, replacing the air filter element periodically, and promptly checking the brake system. 3. Incorrect driving habits can significantly increase fuel consumption: As cars become more common in households, non-professional drivers are increasing, and some bad driving habits can lead to higher fuel consumption. 4. Road conditions greatly determine fuel consumption: Driving in urban conditions can increase fuel consumption by 20% compared to driving on test tracks. The biggest factor affecting fuel consumption in cities is frequent starts, stops, gear shifts, acceleration, and deceleration due to traffic congestion. Driving on poor road conditions also increases fuel consumption.

What are the new driving license examination regulations effective from August 1st?

Here are the detailed explanations of the new driving license examination regulations effective from August 1st: 1. Clarify the charging standards for driving tests and implement fee transparency: According to the Hubei Province Pricing Catalog, the charging standards of driving training institutions are not within the government's pricing scope, and are independently determined by operators based on market supply and demand as well as operating costs. However, before charging, training institutions must publicly display relevant fees, implement clear pricing, reduce hidden charges, and consciously accept social supervision. 2. Increase payment channels for examination fees: Regarding the payment of examination fees, most of them were previously paid by driving schools on behalf of the candidates. Now, candidates can pay examination fees through CCB APP, CCB online banking, and self-service machines. This further brings the charging process into the sunlight and reduces hidden charges. 3. Driving license transfer services can be processed together with license renewal upon expiration: The Wuhan Municipal Public Security Traffic Management Bureau stated that if a driver obtains a driving license in another city due to work or study and later wants to transfer it to Wuhan City, and if the driving license happens to be about to expire, the driver can go to the municipal vehicle management offices, various branch offices' driving license service windows, unmanned vehicle management offices, and other service points within 90 days before the expiration of the driving license with ID card, driving license physical examination report, etc. to process the license renewal + driving license transfer services.

How Often Should the Coolant Be Replaced in a Magotan?

The coolant in a Magotan should be replaced every two years or 40,000 kilometers. This is just a reference interval. For commercial vehicles with higher mileage, the replacement cycle should be shorter. Since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the actual replacement should be based on usage. Monitor the coolant level and top it up promptly if it is low. If suspended particles, sediment, discoloration, or deterioration are observed in the coolant, replace it immediately and flush the system. Coolant replacement procedure: Before a complete coolant replacement, conduct a thorough inspection to check for leaks or cracks in all hoses, with special attention to the five-way hose. The five-way hose, named for its five connection points, distributes coolant to different parts of the vehicle. If coolant leakage is detected in this area, replace the hose or reseal the connections as needed. Drain the old coolant and flush the system with clean water. Fill the coolant reservoir with water and let it circulate through the engine cooling system. Idle the engine for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the water to circulate. Initially, the discharged water may appear slightly pink. Continue flushing until clear water flows out. Remember to disconnect the heater hose and drain the heater core completely. About an hour after draining, add new coolant through the radiator hose for faster filling. Then, fill the coolant reservoir nearly to the top. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As air is purged from the system, the coolant level will drop. Top it up to the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.
