Some transmission oils may undergo changes in pH levels, leading to corrosion of transmission gears and thickening of the oil. Below are the relevant details: Transmission Oil: Transmission oil not only lubricates and protects the transmission but also facilitates power transmission, gear cooling, cleaning, and rust prevention. Compared to engine oil, transmission oil has better fluidity and is less viscous. Manual Transmission: Manual transmissions are commonly found in many Japanese cars, which mostly use CVT transmissions. For Honda CVT transmissions, it is recommended to change the oil every 3 years or approximately 40,000-60,000 kilometers. For Toyota CVT transmissions, the recommendation is every 3-4 years or around 50,000-60,000 kilometers.

What is the Function of a Central Differential?

The function of a central differential is to enhance a vehicle's ability to traverse poor road conditions. Specifically, when one drive axle spins freely, it can quickly lock the differential, turning the two drive axles into a rigid connection. This allows most or even all of the torque to be transferred to the non-slipping drive axle, maximizing its traction and generating sufficient driving force to keep the vehicle moving. Different differentials employ various locking mechanisms, including forced locking, high-friction self-locking, jaw coupling, Torsen, and viscous coupling. Among these, jaw coupling is commonly used in medium and heavy-duty trucks.

What is the fuel consumption of the Lincoln MKZ?

The official fuel consumption of the Lincoln MKZ is 8.1-8.5L/100km. Road conditions affect fuel consumption: Bumpy roads consume more fuel, and driving in low gear for extended periods will inevitably increase fuel consumption; carrying excessive weight in the trunk will also lead to higher fuel consumption. Engine maintenance affects fuel consumption: Neglecting engine maintenance will consume more fuel. Issues in the engine ignition system, such as inaccurate ignition timing, leaking high-voltage wires, or spark plug carbon buildup causing weak ignition, can significantly reduce engine combustion efficiency and increase fuel consumption.

Does the 2021 X-Trail Premium Edition come with tire pressure monitoring?

2021 X-Trail comes standard with tire pressure monitoring across all trims. Function of tire pressure monitoring: The function of tire pressure monitoring is to automatically monitor tire pressure in real-time during driving and alert the driver in case of tire leakage or low pressure to ensure driving safety. Classification of tire pressure monitoring: Tire pressure monitoring is mainly divided into two types: indirect tire pressure monitoring (Wheel-Speed Based TPMS, abbreviated as WSB) and direct tire pressure monitoring (Pressure-Sensor Based TPMS, abbreviated as PSB). There is also a composite TPMS system.

How often should valve stem seals be replaced?

Valve stem seals should be replaced every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. As one of the critical components of the engine's valve train, they play a vital role. Valve stem seals prevent engine oil from entering the intake and exhaust pipes, avoid oil loss, and also prevent the leakage of the air-fuel mixture and exhaust gases, thereby preventing the engine from burning oil. The primary material of valve stem seals is fluororubber. Over time, rubber products can age and harden. Therefore, to avoid a series of malfunctions caused by hardened valve stem seals, regular inspection and maintenance of automotive components are necessary. If the valve stem seals are damaged, they should be replaced promptly.
