Here are some practical car accessories: Car air freshener: The smell inside the car can be unpleasant, and a car air freshener can help improve it. Unlike car perfumes that contain alcohol and can be hazardous, car air fresheners use more eco-friendly materials. Some high-quality products are even safe for pregnant women and children, making them a relatively practical accessory for your car. Air purifier: A car air purifier can effectively remove harmful gases like formaldehyde from the car and further eliminate harmful particles such as PM2.5. When used in combination with a car air freshener, the effect is even better. Car ventilated seat cushion: Summers can be very hot, and a car ventilated seat cushion can make a big difference. These products are affordable, easy to install, and highly effective. They are also convenient to store when not in use, making them quite practical.

To be honest, I think there are several practical car accessories. A phone mount is a must-have for me—it makes navigation convenient and safe while driving, eliminating the need to look down at my phone. I prefer the magnetic type, which sticks firmly to the dashboard without falling off. A car charger is also essential, especially for long trips when phones and navigation devices drain battery quickly—a dual USB port is much more practical than a single one. I also keep a small foldable trash bin in my car, which helps keep snack wrappers and tissues from dirtying the car during traffic jams—it’s both eco-friendly and hygienic. An air purifier is worth mentioning too, as it effectively tackles odors and haze inside the car, and models with aromatherapy features even improve driving mood. A small rearview mirror hook for hanging shopping bags is also handy, preventing items from flying around during sudden braking. These small accessories combined make every drive smoother and more comfortable—they’re a small investment with big returns.

Is Wheel Balancing Necessary After Installing New Tires?

Wheel balancing is required. It's not just necessary after tire replacement - wheel balancing should also be performed after routine tire repairs, changing valve stems of different materials, replacing rims, or installing tire pressure monitoring modules. Whenever the tire is separated from the wheel hub and reassembled, wheel balancing is required. Failure to perform wheel balancing can lead to the following consequences: 1. Significant safety hazards during high-speed driving. 2. Unbalanced wheels can cause abnormal tire wear, shortening the tire's service life. 3. Increased fuel consumption. 4. The vibrations caused by unbalanced wheels will transmit through the steering system to the steering wheel, which not only affects driving safety but may also loosen the steering system components.

What type of engine oil is suitable for the Haval H6?

The 4S dealership for the Haval H6 uses SL-grade 10W-40 viscosity semi-synthetic engine oil, so any oil with the same specifications can be used. Below are relevant details for selecting engine oil: 1. Consider the vehicle type: For Japanese and American cars, the engines are more precise with smaller gaps between components, making 5W-30 oil more suitable. European cars often use turbocharging technology, resulting in larger gaps, so 5W-40 is relatively better. Typically, Japanese and Korean cars use 20 or 30 viscosity oils, such as SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-20, or 5W-30. American cars recommend 30 viscosity oils like SAE 5W-30, while European cars use 40 viscosity oils like 0W-40 or 5W-40. 2. Consider the vehicle age: Refer to the maintenance manual. Newer cars usually opt for lower viscosity oils like 5W-30. As the car ages, gradually switch to slightly higher viscosity oils, such as 5W-40, because older engines experience more wear and require higher viscosity oils. 3. Consider road conditions: Road conditions significantly affect oil lifespan. In areas with poor road conditions, the oil change interval should be shortened. In urban areas with frequent stop-and-go traffic, lower viscosity oils like SN 5W-30 are recommended. For long-distance driving, SN 5W-40 is more suitable.

How to Broaden Your Vision When Reversing at Night

Methods to broaden your vision when reversing at night are as follows: 1. Install wide-angle auxiliary mirrors on car rearview mirrors: They help you expand your field of vision in time, giving you a complete view of obstacles around the vehicle body and fully mastering the situation behind the car, making nighttime reversing safer and easier. 2. Install small convex mirrors: High-definition frameless pure glass that can rotate 360 degrees significantly improves the rearview mirror's field of vision. When reversing, the view becomes much wider, making it as easy as daytime reversing. 3. Install a reversing camera: Ultra-bright and large reversing lights can illuminate a wide area behind the car, allowing you to see everything clearly in the image, making reversing more convenient.

What kind of engine oil is suitable for the Teana?

You can choose semi-synthetic engine oil, but it is best to use fully synthetic engine oil, whether it is joint venture or domestic fully synthetic engine oil. The following are the precautions for selecting engine oil: 1. You must use engine oil with the appropriate quality grade, which is the key to ensuring the normal operation of the engine. 2. If the oil supply is not timely or there is no suitable oil, substitute oil can be used, but during use, you must strengthen observation, pay attention to the oil quality and whether the oil filter is blocked, and deal with any problems in time. 3. Choose oil with appropriate viscosity. Choose oil with suitable viscosity according to the local temperature. The idea that the higher the viscosity, the better is wrong, because if the viscosity is too high, the oil flow will be too slow when starting, which can easily aggravate the wear of parts and even cause bearing burning accidents. 4. When changing the oil, the waste oil must be completely drained. 5. The gas that enters the crankcase from the combustion chamber is corrosive, which can oxidize and deteriorate the engine oil and pollute the engine, so the crankcase must be well ventilated. 6. Maintain normal oil level height. 7. Regularly check and maintain the oil filter, and replace the filter element in time. 8. Any quality of engine oil will undergo some physicochemical changes after being used for a certain mileage, which will bring harm to the engine and cause failures. Therefore, the oil should be changed regularly according to the quality based on the changes in the engine oil.
