Tire pressure at 260kpa is recommended to release some air before driving on highways. High tire pressure increases the load on the car during driving, making it more prone to tire blowouts. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overextends the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks and blowouts. Methods for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate to normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is found during inspection, promptly drive to a tire shop for repair and reinflation; If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any punctures, it may be due to air leakage from a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to inspect and replace the wheel rim.

Should Transmission Fluid Be Changed at 80,000 Kilometers?

For manual transmissions, it is not necessary to change the transmission fluid yet; you can wait until 100,000 kilometers. However, for automatic transmissions, the transmission fluid should be changed at 80,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid plays a crucial role in cooling, lubricating, and transmitting power within the transmission. If the transmission fluid is not changed for an extended period, it can lead to clogged oil passages and increased oil pressure. At 80,000 kilometers, the following maintenance items should be performed: In addition to the regular oil and filter changes, consider cleaning the throttle body, replacing the spark plugs and brake fluid, and changing the engine accessory belt and timing belt, among other maintenance tasks.

Do Heavy Trucks Have Automatic Transmissions?

Heavy trucks do have automatic transmission models. Here are the specific details about heavy truck transmissions: 1. Smoothness: Trucks have more gears, which means the speed ratio difference between gears is smaller. This results in less jerking during gear shifts and a smoother ride. Additionally, most heavy trucks use diesel engines that operate at lower RPMs, making more gears more convenient for vehicle control. 2. Rationality: More gears ensure that the engine can stay within the economical RPM range at various driving speeds, improving fuel efficiency and reducing unnecessary fuel consumption. 3. Power Stability: Most heavy trucks are diesel-powered with lower operating RPMs (around 1,000 to 2,500 RPM). Having more gears enables stable power output under different road conditions.
