Transmission fluid and power steering fluid are not the same. Transmission fluid primarily serves to keep the gear shifting system clean, while also lubricating and prolonging the life of the transmission components. Due to differences in transmission design, there are manual transmissions and automatic transmissions, each with unique technical requirements. Even the same transmission model configured in different vehicle types will vary in torque, weight, rotational speed, and structure. Therefore, manufacturers specify dedicated transmission fluids for each. Power steering assists the driver by automatically providing steering force, reducing the effort required to turn the wheel. Power steering fluid is a medium oil added to the power steering system, functioning to transmit steering force and provide cushioning.

How much engine oil does the Elysion require?

Elysion requires 4 liters of engine oil. Below are the steps to check the oil level: 1. Pull out the oil dipstick (orange handle). 2. Wipe the oil dipstick with a clean cloth or tissue. 3. Reinsert the oil dipstick fully into the dipstick tube. 4. Pull out the oil dipstick again and check the oil level. The oil level should be between the upper and lower limit marks. Below are precautions for adding engine oil: 1. Engine oil should be selected according to the engine requirements. Do not use high-grade oil in lower-grade engines; choose oil that matches the engine. 2. Choose multi-grade oil. Multi-grade oil has advantages such as economy, long service life, and high efficiency, and can provide better protection for the engine.

What is the normal tire pressure for the Changan CS55plus?

The normal tire pressure for the Changan CS55plus is between 2.2 and 2.5 bar. As long as the tire pressure is within the safe range, it is acceptable. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates uneven wear of the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overstretches the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increases the friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation; reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear.
