Yes, the transmission fluid can be changed, but it should not be done lightly. Below is relevant information: 1. Manual transmission fluid, also known as gear oil, is classified into five grades: GL-1 to GL-5. GL-1 to GL-3 have lower performance requirements and are used for general lubrication. GL-4 is used for lubrication under conditions of high speed with low torque and low speed with high torque. 2. GL-5 offers the best performance and is used for lubrication in transmissions under harsh operating conditions with high impact loads. It is important to note that transmission fluids should not be mixed. Some automatic transmission fluids cannot be used in continuously variable transmissions (CVT) or dual-clutch transmissions (DCT), and must be matched with the appropriate transmission fluid. 3. For manual transmission vehicles, due to the mature technology of the transmission, high reliability, and low failure rate, the fluid is generally changed once every 3 years or after driving 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. The replacement interval is slightly longer compared to automatic transmissions.

What is the reason for the hissing sound from the left front wheel?

The reason for the hissing sound from the left front wheel is: there are some stones or other foreign objects on the tire. When this happens, it is recommended to clean the foreign objects on the tire surface. Tires are rubber products, and rubber products will age after long-term use, so tires need to be replaced regularly. Tires are a relatively important component of a car, being the only part that comes into contact with the ground. They are usually mounted on metal rims, supporting the vehicle body and cushioning external impacts. Tires are crucial for the driving safety and stability of the car. Under normal circumstances, tires can be used for four years after being installed on a car, and it is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years.

What are the reasons why the Beidou Star car door lock cannot be locked?

Beidou Star car door lock cannot be locked for the following reasons: 1. Remote key failure: If you use the remote key to lock the door, it is likely that the remote lock is malfunctioning or the antenna of the car's remote transmitter is aging, causing the remote key to not work. In this case, you can use the spare mechanical key to lock the door. 2. Magnetic field interference: If there is strong magnetic field signal interference around the car, the smart key, which uses low-intensity radio waves, may not function properly. Some locations may have radio signal jammers that can emit electromagnetic waves at the same frequency as the car's locking signal, thereby blocking the electronic code of the car's central lock and causing it to temporarily malfunction.
