There are 4 maintenance items for a vehicle at 20,000 kilometers: 1. Replace the engine oil and oil filter. This is a mandatory item for every maintenance service. Since engine oil deteriorates significantly under high temperature and high pressure conditions inside the engine, its performance declines substantially over time, failing to protect the engine. The oil filter serves to remove impurities and protect the engine, so both the oil and oil filter should be replaced simultaneously. 2. Inspect the air filter. The air filter reduces the intake of air containing particulate matter, thereby minimizing wear and damage. During the 20,000-kilometer maintenance, check if the air filter is dirty. If it is excessively dirty, replace it; otherwise, simply clean it with an air gun. 3. Inspect the spark plugs. Spark plugs in gasoline engines introduce high-voltage current into the cylinders to create sparks that ignite the air-fuel mixture. Replace spark plugs if you notice a decrease in engine power. The lifespan of spark plugs varies by material: iridium spark plugs should be replaced every 80,000–100,000 kilometers, platinum spark plugs every 50,000–60,000 kilometers, and nickel spark plugs every 20,000–30,000 kilometers. 4. Check the brake pads. During the 20,000-kilometer maintenance, inspect the thickness of the brake pads. If they are excessively worn, replace them to ensure driving safety.

What causes the insufficient cooling of the Baojun 730 air conditioner?

It is usually due to a lack of refrigerant or a clogged air filter. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Refrigerant: Refrigerant, commonly known as Freon, is the working fluid used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems to transfer heat energy and produce a cooling effect. Based on the working method, it can be classified as primary refrigerant or secondary refrigerant. Based on material properties, it can be categorized as natural refrigerant or synthetic refrigerant. 2. Car Air Conditioning: The car air conditioning device (air-conditioning-device), referred to as car air conditioning, is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and air flow inside the car cabin to the optimal state. It provides a comfortable riding environment for passengers, reduces travel fatigue, and creates good working conditions for the driver, playing an important role in ensuring safe driving as a ventilation device.

How to Shift to Neutral When the Electronic Gear Lever Has No Power?

Methods to shift an automatic transmission to Neutral when there is no power: 1. Locate a plug marked "SHIFT" near the vehicle's gear lever; 2. Use a pin or other object to pry open the plug by inserting it into the gap; 3. Remove the plug; 4. Insert the vehicle's key into the small hole, or use another long object; 5. After these steps, you can shift the gear to Neutral. Here is more information about automatic transmissions: 1. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. 2. In an automatic transmission, the engine power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, an automatic transmission consumes over 10% more fuel than a manual transmission.

Is it a traffic violation to borrow a lane for a right turn?

Using a straight lane to make a right turn is considered a traffic violation, as it constitutes driving not in accordance with the prescribed lane. To enter a right-turn auxiliary lane from a straight lane, you must first change lanes at an area where lane changes are permitted. Making a turn directly without changing lanes is a violation. Driving a motor vehicle on roads other than highways or urban expressways without following the prescribed lane will result in penalties. Additional information: The "Traffic Safety Implementation Regulations" stipulate penalties for related violations: 1. Driving a motor vehicle on a highway without following the prescribed lane: Penalty standard: 3-point deduction and a fine. 2. Driving a motor vehicle on an urban expressway without following the prescribed lane: Penalty standard: 3-point deduction and a fine. 3. Driving a motor vehicle on roads other than highways or urban expressways without following the prescribed lane: Penalty standard: No point deduction but a fine.

How to Check a Car's Weight?

A car's weight can be checked using a weighbridge. Here are the relevant details: 1. Gross Weight: The vehicle's registration certificate records the gross weight, which is the sum of the approved load capacity and the car's own weight. Subtracting the approved load capacity gives the car's weight. 2. Weight Range: The weight of an average sedan typically ranges from 1.5T to 2T. Examples of weights for sedans produced in different countries include: Korean cars - Sonata 2.0 weighs 1444 kg, NF 2.4 weighs 1463 kg, Optima 2.0 weighs 1480 kg. American cars - Regal 2.5 weighs 1557 kg, Epica 2.0 weighs 1482 kg, Mondeo 2.0 weighs 1445 kg, Focus 2.0 weighs 1340 kg.

Why is Michelin 4ST cheaper than 3ST?

Michelin 4ST is cheaper than 3ST due to reduced production costs of the 4ST product. Here are the specific differences between Michelin 3ST and 4ST: 1. Drainage performance: Michelin 4ST features a new tread pattern design through Evergrip technology, increasing drainage space by over 50% compared to 3ST, providing excellent drainage performance. During rainy conditions, a water film easily forms between the tire and the road surface, significantly reducing hydroplaning to a certain extent. 2. Rubber compound: Compared to 3ST, Michelin 4ST adopts a new tread design and new rubber compound, improving wet braking performance and rolling resistance for both new and worn tires, thereby enhancing safety. 3. Safety performance: Official data shows that Michelin 4ST achieves a 2.4m longer wet braking distance than 3ST, which improves driving safety to some extent.
