Car maintenance includes: replacement of engine oil and oil filter, air filter, gasoline filter, and pollen filter; maintenance and replacement of spark plugs; inspection and maintenance of systems such as transmission oil. 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. It should be noted that the air filter and cabin air filter should be inspected first to determine if replacement is necessary. If they are not severely dirty, they can be cleaned and reused; if they are very dirty, they must be replaced promptly. The function of the air filter is to filter the air before it enters the cylinder, removing impurities, dust, sand, and other foreign particles.

How to Remove the Maintenance Indicator on Tiggo 3?

The method to remove the maintenance indicator on Tiggo 3 is as follows: With the car turned off, press and hold the reset button on the Tiggo 3 dashboard, then turn the key to the ON position to illuminate the dashboard. Keep the reset button pressed for a few seconds to clear the maintenance light. More details about the Tiggo 3 are as follows: 1. The interior retains the design of the current model, with upgrades mainly in the form of additional silver chrome trim on the center console and door panels. The manufacturer claims that future models will undergo further adjustments in configuration. 2. In terms of configuration, the new Tiggo 3 features a multifunction steering wheel, an 8-inch LCD display, Bosch 9.0 ESP dynamic stability system, and hill-start assist, among others. Additionally, safety configurations have been adjusted; the new model comes standard with ESP electronic stability system, EBA brake assist control system, and TCS traction control system, but these are not standard on the 1.6L manual comfort and 1.6L CVT comfort models. 3. The powertrain continues to use the current model's 1.6L naturally aspirated engine (code SQRE4G16), with a maximum output of 93kW (126PS) and peak torque of 160N·m, paired with a 5-speed manual or CVT transmission.

How to Check the Transmission Fluid in a Lincoln MKC?

First, pull out the transmission dipstick from the Lincoln MKC's filler tube, wipe it clean, reinsert it into the filler tube, and then pull it out again to check the fluid level on the dipstick. If the fluid level is between the upper and lower marks, the amount is just right. If it is below the lower mark, please add transmission fluid. If it is above the upper mark, it means there is too much fluid, and you can drain some appropriately. Additional Information: 1. Regularly checking the transmission fluid level is essential for maintaining your car's transmission. The method for checking transmission fluid differs from engine oil. Engine oil is checked when cold, while transmission fluid should be warmed up to approximately 50°C. Then, shift the gear lever through each position, pausing for 2 seconds in each, before placing it in the park position. At this point, the normal fluid level on the dipstick should be between the maximum and minimum marks. If it is insufficient, add the same quality fluid promptly. 2. The transmission fluid level may vary under different conditions. This is because hydraulic fluid has higher viscosity at low temperatures, causing more fluid to adhere to internal components during operation, resulting in a lower fluid level. Conversely, at high temperatures, transmission fluid has lower viscosity and flows back into the oil pan more easily, leading to a higher fluid level. If the fluid level is too low, add the appropriate transmission fluid through the filler tube until it reaches the standard level.

What is the tire size for the BMW 5 Series?

The BMW 5 Series has two tire sizes: 245/45R18 and 245/40R19. In 245/45R18, the first number 245 represents the tire width of 245MM, 45 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 45%, meaning the section height is 45% of the width, 18 stands for the rim diameter of 18 inches, and the letter "R" in the middle denotes a radial tire. In 245/40R19, the first number 245 represents the tire width of 245MM, 40 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 40%, meaning the section height is 40% of the width, 19 stands for the rim diameter of 19 inches, and the letter "R" in the middle denotes a radial tire. The BMW 5 Series tires feature a dual-tone, five-spoke wheel design, and the tire brands include Pirelli, Bridgestone, Michelin, etc. If you want to replace the tires yourself, you can follow these steps: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the frame of the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, the jack should be under the vehicle, check and ensure the jack is perpendicular to the ground; Remove the hubcap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, do not fully loosen them, just enough to eliminate resistance. When loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts turn rather than the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeat this step for all lug nuts, then completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully align the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, and tighten them by hand until all nuts are concealed. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the model, the tire also has the following common data marked on it: Tire cord material: represented by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry the specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of the tire from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard Rim 5.00F".

Why Do Luxury Cars Require 95 Octane Gasoline?

Luxury cars use 95 octane gasoline to prevent engine knocking. 95 octane gasoline has strong anti-knock properties and will not ignite under high pressure, ensuring the engine operates at the optimal ignition timing without affecting power output. The specific reasons are as follows: Gasoline is fundamentally related to the engine's compression ratio. Higher compression ratios result in greater power and efficiency but lower stability, necessitating gasoline with high anti-knock properties. Using 95 octane gasoline enhances performance. It has a higher octane rating than 92 octane gasoline, improving low-speed performance in gasoline engines. 95 octane gasoline ensures engine stability. Higher-octane gasoline is more stable. If a car designed for 95 octane uses 92 octane, it may lead to increased fuel consumption, reduced power, and even trigger the engine warning light in severe cases. Besides checking the recommended gasoline grade in the car's manual, you can also find it on the fuel cap. Typically, the gasoline grade can be determined by the engine's compression ratio: cars with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane, those between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane, and higher compression ratios require 98 octane. However, with modern technologies, compression ratio alone may not dictate the gasoline grade, as factors like ignition timing, turbocharging, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, higher-octane gasoline has a higher octane rating and better anti-knock properties. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. Occasionally using the wrong gasoline grade is harmless if corrected afterward, but prolonged use can have the following effects: Using higher-octane gasoline in a car designed for lower octane won't cause damage, but the increased octane may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion, reduced engine power, and lower thermal efficiency. Using lower-octane gasoline in a high-octane car can cause engine knocking. The lower octane reduces the ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. This creates resistance, making the engine run unstably. Mild knocking increases noise without significant damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting driving stability and causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to engine failure.
