My Malibu XL uses a General Motors transmission, like the 6T series automatic. I've been driving this car for almost three years, and it feels smooth at startup with almost no gear shift jerking, making it particularly suitable for city commuting. The brand choice was good, daily maintenance is simple, and when I mention GM parts at the repair shop, the mechanics understand without needing to spend extra. Remember to change the transmission oil regularly to avoid any strange noise issues and maintain long-term performance.

How to adjust the mixture ratio of a scooter carburetor?

Mixture ratio, also known as the "air-fuel ratio," refers to the proportion of air to fuel. When describing concentration, it is best to use terms like "rich" or "lean" for the fuel-air mixture. If referring to "high" or "low," it specifically indicates the A/F ratio, which is the "air-fuel ratio." Therefore, when the fuel-air mixture is "rich," there is more fuel and less air, resulting in a "low" A/F ratio. Conversely, when the mixture is "lean," there is less fuel and more air, leading to a "high" A/F ratio. Below are the detailed steps for adjusting the carburetor on a scooter: 1. First, prop up the vehicle. Turn the air-fuel adjustment screw clockwise until it stops, then back it off by 1/2 turn. 2. Rotate the idle screw clockwise until the spring beneath it is compressed (ideally around 4000 rpm). 3. Start the engine; the RPM will be high.

How Many Kilometers Should a Car's Fuel Filter Be Replaced?

Generally, it is recommended to replace the fuel filter every 20,000 kilometers, but this depends on the road conditions and fuel quality. Below is a detailed introduction to the car's fuel filter: 1. The function of the fuel filter is to remove water and impurities from the gasoline. 2. When the engine is running, fuel is drawn by the fuel pump through the inlet pipe into the sediment bowl of the filter. As the volume increases and the flow rate decreases, heavier water and impurity particles settle at the bottom of the bowl, while lighter impurities flow with the fuel towards the filter element. Clean fuel then permeates through the fine pores of the filter element into its interior and flows out through the fuel pipe. 3. If the fuel filter is too dirty or clogged, the main symptoms include: slow or no response when accelerating, difficulty starting the car, and sometimes requiring 2-5 attempts to start the engine. In such cases, the fuel filter should be replaced.
