It is not mandatory to replace all three filters when changing engine oil. Below are the instructions for replacing the oil filter: 1. Relationship between the oil filter and engine oil: Generally, the oil filter is replaced simultaneously with the engine oil. If the oil filter is not replaced, dirt from the old filter may enter the engine, contaminating the newly replaced oil. Additionally, a heavily soiled oil filter will have reduced filtration efficiency, affecting oil pressure and potentially causing insufficient lubrication in the engine. 2. Replacement cycle for the fuel filter: The typical replacement interval for the fuel filter is 10,000-20,000 kilometers, and the same applies to the air filter. However, the actual replacement cycle should be determined based on specific conditions. For instance, the air filter cleans the air entering the engine by removing impurities. If these impurities enter the cylinders, they can cause abnormal wear and shorten the engine's lifespan. If the driving environment is harsh with poor air quality, the air filter should be replaced earlier.

How to turn on the car air conditioner without turning on the lights?

It is not possible to turn on the car air conditioner without turning on the lights. Here is additional information: 1. Conventional fuel-powered vehicles cannot operate the air conditioner without starting the engine, while electric vehicles can run the air conditioner without starting the car. This is because the air conditioner in conventional fuel-powered vehicles relies on the engine to function. If the car is not started, the air conditioner cannot be used. 2. When the car is not started, the air conditioner switch can be turned on, but the air conditioner does not actually work—it only blows air. Since the air conditioner requires significant power consumption, the car battery cannot sustain it. Therefore, if the engine is not running, the air conditioner will not operate due to its automatic protection mechanism.

How to Install a Car Spoiler?

Installation method for car spoilers: 1. Locate a suitable position on the trunk lid, align it with the bolt holes on the spoiler, and mark the spots; 2. Use a hand drill to make holes at the marked positions on the trunk lid; 3. Apply silicone sealant at the drilled holes and the joint between the spoiler and the trunk lid to prevent water leakage; 4. Tighten the fixing screws, operating from the inside of the trunk outward; 5. To further reduce the chance of water leakage, apply transparent silicone sealant around the fixing brackets after securing them. Car spoilers are part of the vehicle's aerodynamic kit, designed to create downward pressure from air resistance during high-speed driving, effectively counteracting lift and controlling airflow downforce. This reduces the drag coefficient accordingly and enhances the car's stability at high speeds.

Can I claim insurance for self-inflicted scratches on my car?

You can claim insurance for self-inflicted scratches on your car, but if the damage is minor and the repair costs are not too high, it is not recommended to file a claim. For self-inflicted scratches, the insurance typically used is the commercial insurance's vehicle damage coverage or scratch insurance. However, using any commercial auto insurance will affect the overall premium for the next year. Here is additional information: 1. Discounts for compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance are calculated separately. If you made a claim under compulsory traffic insurance last year but not under commercial insurance, the premium for compulsory traffic insurance will change accordingly, while commercial insurance remains unaffected and can continue to enjoy the corresponding discount. 2. If you made a claim under commercial insurance last year but not under compulsory traffic insurance, the overall premium for commercial insurance will change accordingly, while compulsory traffic insurance remains unaffected and can continue to enjoy the corresponding discount.

Do Faux Leather Seats Need Seat Covers?

Faux leather seats do not require seat covers. Here are the relevant details: 1. From a stain resistance perspective: Faux leather seats are not as delicate as one might think. They are more stain-resistant and easier to maintain compared to regular fabric seats. With proper care, such as promptly cleaning any stains, the lifespan of faux leather seats can extend to 5-8 years. 2. From a safety standpoint: Seat covers can interfere with the deployment of side airbags, making them inadvisable for safety reasons. Below are the maintenance methods for faux leather seats: 1. Regularly use cleaning and conditioning products. 2. Use a soft cloth towel, dampen it with water, wring it out, and then wipe the seats. 3. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as it can cause the leather to dry out and crack. 4. Keep sharp or hard objects away to prevent irreversible scratches or cuts.

Why is there no air coming out of the Magotan's air conditioner?

The reason for no air coming out of the Magotan's air vents may be a clogged cabin air filter, and it is necessary to replace the air filter in time. The following is relevant information about the car air conditioner: 1. Introduction: The vehicle air conditioning system consists of a compressor, condenser, throttle element, evaporator, fan, and necessary control components, which are used to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the car and provide a comfortable environment for passengers. 2. Working principle: When the compressor is working, it sucks in low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator. After compression, the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant increase, and it is sent to the condenser. In the condenser, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant transfers heat to the outside air passing through the condenser and liquefies, turning into a liquid. When the liquid refrigerant flows through the throttle device, its temperature and pressure decrease, and it enters the evaporator.
