The transmission of the BAIC X7 is from Aisin. Founded in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the world's highest market share. The BAIC X7 uses a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Unlike conventional automatic transmission systems, the dual-clutch transmission (DCT) is based on a manual transmission but is not an automatic transmission. In addition to the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic transmission, it also provides uninterrupted power output. For the BAIC X7's transmission in daily use, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for too long. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage components such as bearings and the housing inside the transmission. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. When driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers tend to coast in neutral. However, for automatic transmission vehicles, coasting in neutral can cause the automatic transmission to overheat, and shifting back into D (Drive) gear may produce a certain impact. Never shift into D/R gear before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Many drivers, to demonstrate their smooth operation, directly shift into reverse gear before the vehicle has fully stopped. This can cause significant damage to the gears inside the transmission and, over time, may lead to gear grinding and other malfunctions. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D gear. When facing steep slopes, automatic transmission vehicles often overheat due to high load or shift up too early, resulting in insufficient climbing power. In such cases, manual mode can be used to limit the gear to low speed or sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. When an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, a flatbed tow truck should be used to move the vehicle onto the tow platform with the transmission in N (Neutral) gear. Towing ropes or direct towing by another vehicle should not be used.

I've been driving the BAIC X7 for several years, equipped with an Aisin-branded 6-speed automatic transmission. It delivers an exceptionally smooth driving experience, whether in traffic jams or during highway cruising, with seamless gear shifts and almost no noticeable jerking. Why did BAIC choose Aisin? Because this Japanese brand is renowned for its reliability and durability, making it ideal for SUVs in daily driving scenarios—unlike dual-clutch transmissions that are prone to overheating. Over long-term use, it has fewer issues. In terms of fuel consumption, I get around 9L/100km in the city, which drops to 7.5L on highways, making it quite worry-free. For new owners, I recommend regular maintenance, such as changing the transmission fluid every 40,000 kilometers to extend its lifespan. The driving experience is responsive with quick acceleration, making overtaking effortless and the journey more comfortable and enjoyable—far superior to some domestic models using in-house transmissions.

Can the Catalytic Converter Be Replaced with a New Core?

The catalytic converter cannot be replaced with a new core because the assembly cannot be separated. Below are specific details about the catalytic converter: 1. Application: The catalytic converter transforms harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction. It features stable performance, reliable quality, and long service life, making it widely suitable for models from Toyota, Honda, Buick, Audi, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Suzuki, and Changhe. 2. Principle: When high-temperature vehicle exhaust passes through the purification device, the catalyst in the catalytic converter enhances the activity of CO, HC, and NOx gases, promoting certain oxidation and reduction chemical reactions, where CO oxidizes at high temperatures into colorless, non-toxic carbon dioxide gas.

How to Fix a Dented Car Door?

If the paint on the dented area of the car door is not peeling and the dent is not too deep, it can be repaired using professional tools. Here is some relevant information: 1. Near the A/B pillars: Although a dented car door may seem easy to fix—simply pulling or pushing it back into place—there are significant limitations. If the paint is damaged, the dent cannot be repaired. Additionally, dents located near the wheel arches, edges, or A/B pillars are harder to fix. 2. Difficulty: The cost of car dent repair depends on the difficulty and size of the dent, as well as its sharpness. The sharper the dent, the more challenging it is to repair.

Does Not Turning Off the Engine While Washing the Car Have Any Impact?

Not turning off the engine while washing the car does have an impact, primarily on the engine. Every time the engine is turned off, the engine oil flows back into the oil pan. When the engine is started again, there will be a lack of lubrication between the crankshaft and crankshaft bearings, leading to hard friction. This can affect the engine's lifespan. More related information is as follows: 1. Manual Car Washing: Turning off the engine before washing is economical, environmentally friendly, and prevents the engine from overheating and drying out the areas cleaned by detergent. Hand the key to the staff and start the engine when needed. 2. Self-Service Car Washing: There is no need to turn off the engine; the car should be placed in neutral or N gear. Automatic car washing involves the car being moved into the wash bay via a conveyor belt. During this process, the steering wheels will move as the conveyor belt operates.

How Many Liters of Engine Oil Should Be Added for a Haval M6 Oil Change?

Haval M6 requires 4 liters of engine oil for an oil change. The original factory oil for Haval M6 is 5W40 mineral oil. If you wish to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose brands such as Shell, Mobil, Castrol, or Total. The official Haval M6 manual recommends an oil specification of 5W-30. Any oil model that meets this specification can be used. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, resulting in smoother cold starts for the car. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher value means the oil can maintain its viscosity index better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the oil in a Haval M6 is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to collect the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine for about 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; apply oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, fill about three-quarters of a 4-liter oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, perform necessary repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.

What are the causes of motor noise and how to deal with it?

Hearing obvious rolling body rolling and vibration sounds indicates excessive bearing clearance or severe wear, requiring replacement. The following is a related introduction about motors: 1. Working principle: The direction of conductor force is determined by the left-hand rule. This pair of electromagnetic forces forms a torque acting on the armature, which is called electromagnetic torque in rotating motors. The direction of the torque is counterclockwise, attempting to make the armature rotate counterclockwise. If this electromagnetic torque can overcome the resistance torque on the armature (such as resistance torque caused by friction and other load torques), the armature can rotate counterclockwise. 2. DC motor: The excitation method of a DC motor refers to how to supply power to the excitation winding, generate excitation magnetomotive force, and establish the main magnetic field.
