Major maintenance items for a car at 50,000 kilometers: 1. If the car has been properly maintained in daily use and underwent a major maintenance at 30,000 kilometers, then at 50,000 kilometers, you only need to replace the engine oil and oil filter, perform four-wheel maintenance, check the brakes, inspect chassis components, and conduct a full vehicle fluid and lighting inspection; 2. If a major maintenance hasn't been done before, additional items such as cleaning the throttle body and fuel injectors, replacing the air filter, fuel filter, and cabin air filter should be included. Replacing the engine oil and oil filter is a mandatory item for every maintenance session. Due to the harsh conditions of high temperature and high pressure inside the engine, the shelf life of engine oil is significantly shortened, and its performance degrades substantially. Over time, it fails to protect the engine effectively. The oil filter is designed to prevent impurities from mixing into the oil, which can cause oxidation, leading to the formation of sludge and clogging the oil passages. Therefore, both the engine oil and oil filter should be replaced simultaneously.

Why does a car stall immediately after starting?

The reasons why a car stalls immediately after starting are: 1. The throttle is too dirty or there is excessive carbon buildup in the intake tract; 2. The ignition system is faulty; 3. Low fuel level in the tank, resulting in low fuel pump pressure; 4. One or more clogged fuel injectors; 5. Leaky spark plug wires; 6. Engine malfunction. The solutions for a car stalling immediately after starting are: 1. Clean the throttle, intake tract, and fuel injectors; 2. Inspect and repair the ignition coil; 3. Add fuel; 4. Check the fuel pressure regulator and fuel lines. Precautions when starting a car include: 1. Avoid prolonged continuous use of the starter; 2. Avoid stomping on the accelerator pedal immediately after starting; 3. Avoid driving off immediately if the idle is unstable.

How to Clean Carbon Deposits in a Car?

Methods to clean carbon deposits in a car include: 1. Adding fuel additives when refueling; 2. Engine disassembly cleaning; 3. Using a car drip cleaning method. The main components of carbon deposits in a car are: 1. Metal debris generated from engine friction and wear; 2. Dust from the air; 3. Sticky substances formed by the oxidation, thickening, and acidification of engine oil under high temperatures; 4. Paint films produced by the oxidation and concentration of lubricating oil. The effects of increased carbon deposits in a car are: 1. Difficulty in starting; 2. Insufficient horsepower, unstable acceleration, and shaking; 3. Air-fuel ratio imbalance; 4. Failure to meet emission standards; 5. Reduced combustion efficiency. Methods to prevent carbon deposits in a car include: 1. Waiting for 1 minute or 30 seconds before turning off the engine after reaching the destination; 2. Increasing shift RPM for manual transmission cars.

How to Determine the Position of Car Wheels?

Methods for determining the position of car wheels are: 1. To determine the position of the left wheel, when the driver sees the wiper node align with the centerline on the ground, the left tire will pass over the target. Accurately judging the trajectory of the left tire can help avoid potholes and stones on the road; 2. To determine the position of the right tire, when the driver's line of sight intersects the node of the right wiper with the target, the tire will pass over the target line. Techniques for judging the distance to the car in front are: 1. When the upper edge of the front car's bumper is seen from the lower edge of the windshield, the distance to the front car is about one meter, and the distance needs to be controlled; 2. When the lower edge of the front car's bumper is seen from the lower edge of the windshield, the distance to the front car is about two meters; 3. When the rear tire's lower edge of the front car is seen from the lower edge of the windshield, the distance to the front car is about three meters.

Can You Drive with Low Engine Coolant?

Whether you can drive with low engine coolant depends on the fluid level in the expansion tank: 1. If there is still fluid, you can drive a short distance, but you need to add coolant as soon as possible; 2. If there is no fluid, you should not drive, as it may cause engine piston scuffing or cylinder seizure. Engine coolant, also known as antifreeze or radiator fluid, serves the following purposes: 1. Cooling engine components; 2. Preventing coolant from freezing; 3. Preventing rust in the cooling system; 4. Preventing overheating of parts. Precautions for replacing engine coolant: 1. Measure the freezing point of the antifreeze; 2. Prevent leaks; 3. Avoid injury from hot fluid spraying; 4. Ensure the old fluid is completely drained.

Can I drive on the highway without installing ETC?

You can drive on the highway without installing ETC by obtaining a toll card at the manual toll booth at the entrance and stopping to pay at the manual toll booth at the exit. The working principle of ETC is: through dedicated short-range communication between the ETC electronic tag installed on the vehicle and the ETC microwave antenna at the toll station, using computer networking technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, enabling vehicles to pay highway or bridge tolls without stopping when passing through highway or bridge toll stations. Precautions for installing ETC include: 1. Avoid obstructing the line of sight; 2. Avoid affecting device charging; 3. Avoid disassembling it arbitrarily.
