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.

What are the insurance company compensation standards for water-damaged vehicles?

How to distinguish between all-steel and semi-steel 700 tires?

700 tires can be distinguished as all-steel or semi-steel from the following aspects: 1. Structural parameters: The structure of the STEEL layer (STEEL) and the structural parameters of the STEEL layer. If the sidewall structure does not contain a steel layer, it is a semi-steel tire; if the sidewall structure contains a steel layer, it is an all-steel tire. 2. Vehicle identification: Generally, passenger cars, SUVs, MPVs, blue-plate vehicles, and light-duty trucks use semi-steel tires, while other vehicle types typically use all-steel tires. For example: heavy-duty trucks, buses, and engineering vehicles.

Should ESP be turned on or off when driving on the highway?

Under normal driving conditions, ordinary car owners should not easily turn off the ESP system. Here are the specific details about the relevant content: Function of the ESP system: ESP analyzes the vehicle's driving state information from various sensors and then sends correction commands to ABS, EBD, etc., to help the vehicle maintain dynamic balance. ESP can keep the vehicle at optimal stability under various conditions, with more noticeable effects in cases of oversteering or understeering. Introduction to the ESP system: ESP is a very important function in active vehicle safety. It may silently assist the owner when encountering sudden situations. However, owners should not blindly assume that ESP can make the car go faster or have better handling.

Can You Continue Driving with Overheated Tires on the Highway?

Tire heating during normal driving is a common phenomenon, so you can continue driving normally. Below are specific details regarding this issue: Introduction: Tires generate heat after prolonged high-speed driving, so a rise in temperature and a slight increase in internal tire pressure are normal occurrences. During the rolling process, tires consume energy, with part of it being absorbed and converted into heat by the tire. Precautions: When purchasing tires, always check the production date. Avoid buying tires with outdated production dates. Tires are rubber products and will age even if unused. Regular vehicle use requires frequent checks of tire pressure and surface for any damage. The tire sidewall is relatively fragile; if it gets scratched or punctured, it cannot be repaired. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage driven within those four years is minimal.

What Are the Differences Between Pre-Wash Solution and Car Wash Soap?

Here is an introduction to the differences between pre-wash solution and car wash soap: 1. Product Function: Pre-wash solution is used to loosen dirt and mud, allowing more of it to be rinsed off and reducing the risk of friction during the scrubbing process; car wash soap is used to remove relatively loose dirt from the vehicle body, reducing the likelihood of it turning into stubborn deposits or causing adverse effects on the paint. 2. Product Concept: (1) Pre-wash solution: Broadly speaking, any liquid used for pre-washing can be called a pre-wash solution. Loosening dirt and mud can also be achieved by soaking with water, so using ordinary car wash soap as a pre-wash solution is also acceptable. (2) Car wash soap: A detergent used in conjunction with rinsing and scrubbing to remove relatively loose dirt from the vehicle body is called car wash soap.

What causes the Buick Excelle's fan to keep running continuously?

Buick Excelle's fan keeps running continuously for the following reasons: 1. Reason one: Whether the electronic temperature control coolant temperature meets the requirements. Most car radiator fans nowadays operate with electronic temperature control, so the fan will only start running normally when the coolant temperature in your car reaches the required level. If the temperature is too low, the radiator fan won't turn on. 2. Reason two: Faulty relay. If the coolant temperature meets the requirements but the car radiator fan still doesn't work, it could be an issue with the fan's relay. 3. Reason three: Insufficient antifreeze. This can cause the engine coolant temperature to rise. Check the coolant circulation to see if it's obstructed. Additionally, you can inspect components such as the coolant temperature sensor, water pump, thermostat, and cooling fan, as any of these could lead to increased coolant temperature.
