If it's a new car or a newly replaced pair of brake rotors and one of them has an issue, we only need to replace the problematic rotor. However, if the car has already traveled tens of thousands of kilometers, then a pair must be replaced; otherwise, it can be very dangerous during braking. The replacement time for brake rotors: mainly depends on the car owner's driving habits, frequency of use, and road conditions, among other factors. There is no fixed replacement time, as brake rotor replacement is generally determined by the specific degree of wear. For example, if the wear on the brake rotor exceeds 1~2mm, it must be replaced. Of course, if the brake rotor shows abnormal wear, it should also be replaced.

Is overtaking allowed on highways?

Overtaking is permitted on highways, but the following precautions should be observed: 1. Forced overtaking is prohibited: When the preceding vehicle fails to yield speed or lane due to certain reasons, forced overtaking is not allowed; when there is insufficient safe distance ahead of the preceding vehicle, squeezing in or forcing the overtaken vehicle to yield is prohibited. 2. Maintain a smooth overtaking path: Before overtaking, change to the left lane (or overtaking lane) in advance, and delay returning to the right lane after overtaking, keeping the driving trajectory basically parallel to the preceding vehicle. 3. Maintain distance: Always pay attention to keeping a safe distance from the overtaken vehicle before, during, and after overtaking.

What is the RPM for shifting from first gear to second gear?

When shifting from 1st gear to 2nd gear, the engine RPM should be around 2000rpm. Here are some precautions to note when shifting gears in a car: Timing the gear shift correctly: For manual transmission vehicles, it's crucial to time the gear shift properly to avoid stalling or experiencing strong jerking movements. Depress the clutch fully when shifting: When shifting gears in a manual transmission car, the clutch pedal must be fully depressed to prevent damage to the transmission. Maintain steady RPM: If the engine RPM is too low during shifting, it may cause the engine to stall. If the RPM is too high, it will increase fuel consumption. During high-speed driving, it's best to maintain the engine RPM around 1600rpm.

Which Type of Car Fire Extinguisher is Better?

According to national regulations, the minimum filling capacity for vehicle fire extinguishers is one kilogram. When purchasing a car fire extinguisher, it is advisable to choose one with a capacity of 1-3 kilograms. Additionally, since the storage conditions for fire extinguishers in vehicles are not ideal, it is best to opt for dry powder or water-based fire extinguishers. Below are the instructions for using a dry powder fire extinguisher: 1. Before use, thoroughly shake the extinguisher several times to loosen the dry powder inside the cylinder. 2. Remove the safety pin and hold the nozzle with your hand (for hose-less extinguishers, support the base of the bottle with your hand), then aim the nozzle at the base of the flame. 3. Press the handle firmly to release the dry powder from the nozzle.

How to Identify Genuine Brembo GP4 Calipers?

Counterfeit Brembo brake calipers often have rough and easily peeling paint, with incorrect color tones. Authentic Brembo brake calipers typically come in four standard colors: red, black, silver, and yellow. Characteristics of Brembo: BREMBO braking systems are distinguished by their progressive braking response, unlike other brands that require extremely stiff suspensions. Even vehicles with slightly modified suspension kits won't experience excessive nose-diving during braking. Function of Calipers: Automotive calipers are clamping devices designed to decelerate, stop, or maintain the stopped state of moving wheels, generally used exclusively in disc brake systems. They are positioned on the protruding outer side of the brake pads, serving as components that enhance braking performance and are essential parts. Typically, automotive calipers come in three colors: red, yellow, and gray. However, yellow calipers are usually applied to ceramic brake systems.
