First maintenance requires an oil change, and the first maintenance oil filter and oil are free maintenance items. Changing the oil allows the engine to work better, along with routine vehicle inspections, such as: tire and brake pad wear, fluid levels in the engine compartment, whether there is any impact on the chassis, and whether the chassis brackets and tie rods are deformed, etc. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Oil function: When a new car is first driven, because the engine is in the break-in period, some impurities will be generated inside the engine. Therefore, during the first maintenance, the oil and oil filter need to be replaced so that the oil can better lubricate the various components inside the engine. 2. Maintenance practices and reasons: During the new car maintenance period, the wheel hub bolts need to be torque-tightened because new car tires generally leave a break-in gap. After the break-in period, they need to be tightened. Debris such as stones in the tire gaps should also be cleaned, otherwise it will affect the tire's drainage and friction.

What does the P button in a car mean?

The P button in the center of the car is the electronic parking brake. Its working principle is the same as that of the mechanical handbrake, both of which achieve parking brake control through the friction generated between the brake disc and the brake pads. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. Information about the electronic parking brake is as follows: 1. The electronic parking brake is the electronic parking brake system: It integrates the temporary braking function during driving and the long-term braking function after parking, and realizes the parking brake technology through electronic control. 2. The electronic parking brake extends from the basic parking function to the automatic parking function AUTOHOLD: The application of the AUTOHOLD automatic parking function technology allows the driver to avoid long-term braking when the vehicle stops. When the automatic electronic parking brake is activated, unnecessary sliding of the vehicle can be avoided.

How Loud is the Fista?

The Fista has a noise level of 39.4 decibels at idle; when the speed reaches 60km/h, the noise is 61.7 decibels; at 80km/h, the noise is 64.2 decibels; and at 120km/h, the noise is 68.6 decibels. Here are the specific details: 1. The Fista uses Nexen tires with a specification of 225/45R17, which perform poorly in noise reduction. While driving, the sound from the connection between the tires and the road surface is transmitted into the car, especially at high speeds. The Fista's tire noise performance is significantly worse compared to other cars in the same class. Additionally, because the Fista has excellent acceleration performance, the engine noise is also relatively loud, leading to poor test results in engine noise. 2. If you want to reduce the interior noise, you can consider changing the tires. There are tires specifically designed for noise reduction, although they tend to be more expensive. 3. Furthermore, the internal structure of the engine may age over prolonged use, and incorrect tire pressure can also lead to increased interior noise.

What Causes Car Shaking During Startup?

Reasons for car shaking during startup: 1. Excessive carbon deposits: Severe carbon buildup in the engine cylinders can lead to clogged spark plugs and blocked valves, directly causing shaking during idle; 2. Fuel supply system malfunction: Unstable fuel pressure can cause inconsistent mixture concentration, resulting not only in shaking but also unstable idle; 3. Worn engine mounts: This is a very common cause of shaking. If the engine shaking worsens over time without a corresponding loss of power, the issue might be with the engine mounts; 4. Misfiring cylinders: The problem lies with the engine's ignition coils or spark plugs. If the ignition coils fail or the spark plugs cannot fire for some reason, the car will experience shaking.

What Do the Numbers on Engine Oil Mean?

Automotive engine oil labeling uses the viscosity classification method established by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). This is a viscosity grading system that divides lubricants into high-temperature types for summer use, low-temperature types for winter use, and all-season types suitable for both winter and summer. The specific meanings are as follows: 1. Winter oil grades are: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W. The symbol W stands for Winter, and the smaller the number before W, the lower the low-temperature viscosity, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the applicable minimum temperature. 2. Summer oil grades are: 20, 30, 40, 50. The larger the number, the higher the viscosity and the higher the applicable maximum temperature. 3. All-season oil grades are: 5W/20, 5W/30, 5W/40, 5W/50, 10W/20, 10W/30, 10W/40, 10W/50, 15W/20, 15W/30, 15W/40, 15W/50, 20W/20, 20W/30, 20W/40, 20W/50. The smaller the number representing the winter part, and the larger the number representing the summer part, the higher the viscosity and the wider the applicable temperature range.

What is the 4th gear in a car?

Car 4th gear is a relatively fast gear, corresponding to a speed range of 40-60km/h. The following introduces the matching speed for each gear and the timing for upshifting: Matching speed for each gear: First gear is for starting, with a speed generally between 0-5km/h. Second gear corresponds to 5-20km/h, third gear to 20-40km/h, fourth gear to 40-60km/h, and fifth gear to 60-100km/h. The 6th gear is for speeds between 100 to 120 kilometers per hour. Timing for upshifting: When the engine has ample power, it emits a dull "humming" sound. After upshifting, if there is no power deficiency or shaking of the transmission mechanism, and the speed increases quickly with the vehicle running very smoothly and naturally, it indicates the upshifting timing is accurate.

How Many Kilometers Should a Car Be Serviced?

According to the production of the engine, generally speaking, the service mileage for domestic engines is around 5,000 kilometers, while for imported engines, it is around 10,000 kilometers. Main service items: Changing the engine oil and oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, transmission fluid, and tire maintenance. Purpose of service: The purpose of car service is to maintain the vehicle's appearance and technical condition, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. Importance of service: Daily car maintenance is very important. Neglecting routine maintenance not only causes unnecessary damage to the vehicle, shortening its lifespan, but also endangers driving safety.
