Major car maintenance items include changing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. Major maintenance is based on the existence of minor maintenance, and these two types of maintenance are usually performed alternately. The oil filter is typically replaced every 8,000 km or once a year. In dry climates, it should be replaced every 5,000 km. The function of the oil filter is to provide clean fuel to the engine, filtering out moisture and impurities from the gasoline, thereby optimizing engine performance and providing the best protection for the engine. A clogged oil filter can obstruct the flow of lubricating oil, leading to poor engine lubrication, increased wear, and even bearing failure.

Is the Land Rover's fuel consumption high?

In the recognized rankings of SUVs with the highest fuel consumption, Land Rover has consistently ranked high, yet among SUVs of the same class, Land Rover's fuel consumption is actually quite low. In fact, a car's fuel consumption is never a fixed number; it is influenced by factors such as vehicle condition, road conditions, driving skills, and driving habits. Factors affecting fuel consumption: 1. Frequent acceleration (starting): When the car needs to start or accelerate, the engine has to provide more power, so rapid acceleration or frequent starts will lead to increased fuel consumption. 2. Wind resistance caused by high-speed driving: As the speed increases, wind resistance gradually becomes the main resistance to the vehicle's movement. When the car moves at a speed of 80 mph, 60% to 70% of the fuel consumption is needed to overcome wind resistance, and this proportion increases further with higher speeds.

What do h and t mean?

h indicates that the maximum speed cannot exceed 210, while t indicates that the maximum speed cannot exceed 190 kilometers per hour. Service life of car tires: The service life of tires is about 5 years, with the specific duration related to driving habits, temperature, and environment. Tires are rubber products and generally last 5 to 6 years. Over time, they will age, develop cracks, and become prone to blowouts. Functions of car tires: They support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions. They also transfer traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the car's power, braking, and off-road capabilities. Together with the car suspension, they help to mitigate the impact during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations.

Should Snow Chains Be Installed on the Front or Rear Wheels of a Sedan?

Snow chains should be installed on the front wheels for front-wheel-drive vehicles, while for rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive vehicles, it's best to install them on all four wheels. Types of Snow Chains: Iron chains, which are actually steel chains, are widely used due to their affordability and ease of installation. However, their main drawback is significant wear on the tires. Rubber chains, made from high-quality rubber material, have strong tensile strength and incorporate nylon threads within the rubber for reinforcement. The nylon threads enhance durability and strength, and the steel studs on the rubber strips provide excellent anti-slip performance. Installation Precautions for Snow Chains: Snow chains should only be used on snowy surfaces. Using them on clean, snow-free, or ice-free roads can damage both the tires and the road surface. It's advisable to install snow chains before entering snowy areas or before climbing icy or snowy slopes.
