First maintenance requires changing the engine oil. The items covered in the first maintenance are quite simple, mainly including replacing the engine oil and oil filter, along with some routine vehicle inspections such as checking the wear on tires and brake pads, the levels of various fluids in the engine compartment, the level of coolant, lifting the vehicle to inspect the chassis for any signs of impact, and checking if the chassis brackets and tie rods are deformed. The primary purpose of changing the engine oil is to ensure the engine operates more efficiently. During the break-in period, the engine may generate some impurities internally, hence the need to replace the oil and oil filter to better lubricate the various components inside the engine.

What Causes an Automatic Transmission Car to Stall Suddenly at a Red Light?

For automatic transmission cars stalling at red lights, the primary reason is usually insufficient driving proficiency. Another possibility could be issues with the car's engine or fuel system, in which case it's necessary to visit a repair shop to inspect the fuel lines and engine. If it's an older automatic transmission model, stalling might be caused by using substandard fuel, leading to carbon buildup in the engine. In such cases, it's essential to switch to gasoline that matches the vehicle's specifications. Correct Method to Start an Automatic Transmission Car: The proper steps to start an automatic transmission car are: insert the key and turn it to the ON position, press the brake, shift to N (Neutral), start the ignition, then shift to D (Drive), release the parking brake, lift the foot brake, and begin driving. This starting method avoids the brief reverse impact on the transmission when shifting from P (Park) through R (Reverse) after ignition. For push-button start models, first press the button to power the vehicle, follow the same steps—press the brake, shift to N (Neutral), press the start button, then shift gears, release the parking brake, and lift the foot brake to start driving. Warm up the car before driving. After starting the vehicle, it takes some time for the oil to fully lubricate all engine components from the oil pan. Driving immediately can accelerate engine wear. Therefore, it's advisable to warm up the car briefly before driving each time. The idling time doesn't need to be too long—just wait until the tachometer stabilizes (drops below 1000 RPM) before driving off.

How to deal with engine oil burning in a 2012 Magotan?

Timely replacement of the valve stem seals is necessary to ensure the sealing performance of the valves. Directly replace the car's piston rings. Of course, it is still necessary to regularly clean the carbon deposits on the piston rings. Prepare a medical syringe and connect it with a plastic tube used for intravenous drips. Simply insert the plastic tube to extract the excess engine oil.
