If you don't perform required car maintenance, initially there will only be various minor issues, such as increased fuel consumption and engine vibration. Over time, the accumulation of these problems will lead to complete vehicle failure and inability to operate. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance scope of engine systems, transmission systems, air conditioning systems, cooling systems, fuel systems, power steering systems, etc. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

What is the center bore diameter (CB) of the Prado wheel hub?

The center bore diameter (CB) of the Prado wheel hub is 106.2. More information about wheel hubs is as follows: 1. Most wheel hubs have either 5 or 4 bolt holes, and the distance between the bolts varies. For example, 5X114.3 means the PCD of this wheel hub is 114.3mm, with 5 bolt holes. 2. When selecting a wheel hub, PCD is one of the most important parameters. For safety and stability, it is best to choose a wheel hub with the same PCD as the original vehicle for upgrades. 3. The center bore is the part used to connect and fix the wheel hub to the vehicle, which is the position where the wheel hub center aligns with the concentric circle of the wheel hub.

What does 'outside' mean on tires?

In cars, 'outside' refers to the external temperature. Here is a detailed explanation of the external temperature: 1. When a car displays 'outside' followed by a number, it generally indicates the current external temperature. When the outdoor temperature is below 4 degrees, it alerts you that the external environment is cold, and there may be icy roads, reminding the driver to pay attention to driving safety and avoid sudden braking to prevent danger. 2. 'Outside' in a car refers to the external temperature, reminding that the outdoor temperature is lower than the interior temperature, and suggesting the driver to turn on the heater to prevent window fogging. 3. The external temperature sensor, also known as the ambient temperature sensor, is usually installed near the front bumper or grille. Its sensing element uses a negative temperature coefficient thermistor. The detection method for the external temperature sensor is the same as that for the coolant temperature sensor, and its resistance can be measured with a multimeter in resistance mode—the lower the temperature, the higher the resistance.
