It is necessary to replace the three filters when changing the engine oil. The core material of the oil filter is filter paper, which is particularly difficult to clean. Many fine impurities filtered out get trapped inside the filter paper, and even if the exterior is cleaned, the internal impurities remain difficult to remove. Continued use of a dirty filter can lead to reduced lubrication oil pressure, directly causing increased engine wear. Below is an introduction to related car maintenance procedures: 1. Exterior inspection: Before driving, check the doors, engine hood, trunk, and glass condition. Inspect the car body for damage, tilting, oil leaks, or water leaks. 2. Engine and various fluids: Check the fastening condition of engine components and inspect all engine joints for oil or coolant leaks. Adjust and tighten belts as needed, and check the fastening of all hoses and wiring. Top up engine oil, coolant, and battery electrolyte. 3. Tires: Inspect tire wear and clean the trunk. Replace tires when they approach the wear indicators. Check for bulges, abnormal wear, aging cracks, or other damage on tires. 4. Cleaning and lubrication: Clean oil stains from the engine compartment hood, door hinges, and trunk hinge mechanisms, then lubricate them. Generally, antifreeze should be replaced every 2 years during maintenance, and the cooling system should be thoroughly flushed. Due to the hygroscopic nature of the braking system, brake fluid should be replaced every two years.

What oil can be used as a substitute for disc brake oil?

Electric vehicle brake oil cannot be used as a substitute. Brake oil is a type of brake fluid that requires a high boiling point, such as 200 degrees Celsius. Water cannot reach such a high boiling point. A boiling point that is too low can lead to vapor lock. In cold weather, the freezing point should be low, ensuring good fluidity at low temperatures. This is also understandable. If all the properties are fixed, it cannot serve the function of fluid transmission. Below are the specific effects of not replacing brake oil for a long time: Corrosion of the braking system: Brake oil itself is hygroscopic and prone to absorbing water. If not replaced for a long time, the brake oil can corrode the braking system, posing significant safety hazards. Formation of brake vapor lock: After absorbing water, the boiling point of brake oil decreases, which can easily lead to insufficient brake pressure and affect braking performance. When the temperature rises to the boiling point, the water inside the brake oil will boil and produce a large number of bubbles. Clogging of the brake system: If brake oil is not replaced for a long time, deposits and impurities in the brake lines can cause brake system malfunctions, affecting braking performance.

Will Pearl White Car Paint Turn Yellow?

Pearl white car paint will turn yellow over time. Since the paint is constantly exposed to the air, the surface layer will gradually oxidize and yellow with time. Especially in summer, strong ultraviolet rays accelerate the oxidation of the coating, leading to paint aging, discoloration, and cracking. Below are some methods to protect car paint: Waxing: Waxing can be done directly or with polishing. Direct waxing involves cleaning the car body and applying wax directly to the clear coat on the surface of the paint. Polishing waxing, on the other hand, requires using a polishing machine to polish the paint surface before waxing, which can instantly make the car shine. Glazing: Due to the composition of the glaze, it is not resistant to acid or alkali cleaning and can be easily damaged. It typically lasts only 1-3 months, and glazing can harm the paint, requiring reapplication every two to three months. Crystal Coating: Crystal coating is a hard protective layer specifically designed for car paint, seats, interior and exterior trim, glass, tires, and other key areas. It comes in fast-drying and slow-drying types, mainly determined by the primary ingredients. Film Application: Automotive coating is a highly effective protective measure that can brighten the paint surface while also offering multiple benefits such as resistance to acids and alkalis, high-temperature resistance, strong waterproofing, oxidation resistance, and UV protection.

What is the function of an automotive flywheel?

The primary function of an automotive flywheel is to store energy and inertia outside of the engine's power stroke. Located at the power output end of the crankshaft, which connects to the transmission and power equipment, the flywheel possesses significant rotational inertia. Since the power strokes of each engine cylinder are not continuous, the engine speed fluctuates. Below is more detailed information: When the engine speed increases, the flywheel's kinetic energy rises, storing energy; when the engine speed decreases, the flywheel's kinetic energy drops, releasing energy. The flywheel helps reduce speed fluctuations during engine operation. Additionally, the flywheel serves the following purposes: It acts as the driving component in friction clutches; a flywheel ring gear is embedded on its rim for starting the engine; top dead center marks are engraved on the flywheel to calibrate ignition timing or fuel injection timing and adjust valve clearance. Mounted at the rear end of the engine crankshaft, the flywheel utilizes its rotational inertia to store engine energy, overcome resistance from other components, and ensure smooth crankshaft rotation. The clutch installed on the flywheel connects the engine to the vehicle's transmission; it also engages with the starter for easy engine ignition. Furthermore, it serves as the integration point for crankshaft position sensing and vehicle speed sensing.

What does remote parking mean?

Remote parking refers to the function that allows the car owner to remotely start the vehicle and control its forward, backward movement, as well as steering left and right, using a remote control similar to a slide phone, within a range of about 10 meters from the vehicle. Models equipped with this function include the BMW 7 Series and BYD Qin. The remote parking function mainly includes three types: remote entry, remote parking in, and remote parking out. Below is an introduction to the classification of remote parking: 1. BYD Qin DM: BYD has introduced some innovative technologies to attract consumers, and the remote parking function is one of them. Simply by using the key, the owner can remotely control the vehicle to move forward, backward, and turn. The speed is not too fast, allowing the owner to operate with confidence. However, when the vehicle encounters a certain slope, the remote function may be somewhat affected, as the torque output by the vehicle under remote control is not very large. 2. Roewe Marvel-X: Positioned as a high-end intelligent SUV, the Roewe Marvel-X does not lag behind in technological configurations. The Roewe Marvel-X Pro Super Edition is also equipped with the AI-Pilot intelligent driving assistance system, which includes an all-time active safety assistance system, full-speed autonomous cruise, and self-learning parking. It seems that parking is no longer a challenge for Roewe Marvel-X owners.

Where is the fuel filler cap switch on the Touareg?

The Touareg does not have a separate fuel filler cap switch. When the central locking system is unlocked, you can open the fuel filler cap by pressing it. If the central locking system is locked, the fuel filler cap cannot be opened. Most models under Volkswagen and Audi are set up this way. Below is some relevant information about the Touareg: 1. Powertrain: The Touareg is a mid-to-large-size SUV under Volkswagen, equipped with three types of engines: a low-power version 2.0L turbocharged engine, a high-power version 2.0L turbocharged engine, and a 2.5L V6 turbocharged engine. The low-power 2.0L turbocharged engine delivers 186 horsepower and a maximum torque of 320 Nm, the high-power 2.0L turbocharged engine delivers 220 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, and the 2.5L V6 turbocharged engine delivers 299 horsepower and a maximum torque of 500 Nm. All three engines are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which offers fast gear shifts and high transmission efficiency. 2. Suspension: The Touareg features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. The multi-link independent suspension enhances the wheel's ground contact performance, thereby improving traction.
