Transmission fluid temperature becomes excessively high due to: 1. Incorrect transmission fluid level (either too high or too low); 2. Damaged transmission pump or obstructed oil suction pipeline; 3. Deteriorated hydraulic transmission oil. Transmission fluid is an essential lubricant that maintains the cleanliness of the gear system, serving the following purposes: 1. Ensuring proper transmission operation and prolonging the lifespan of transmission components; 2. Providing effective lubrication under low-temperature conditions; 3. Minimizing oil loss during severe operating conditions. The replacement procedure for transmission fluid consists of: 1. Removing the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to discharge old fluid; 2. Detaching the inner and outer transmission casings; 3. Removing the transmission fluid filter; 4. Taking off the oil pan gasket and cleaning surrounding contaminants; 5. Wiping the cleaned transmission fluid filter with cotton yarn; 6. Refilling with new transmission fluid.

What is the appropriate tire pressure for the 2021 Levin?

The recommended tire pressure for the 2021 Levin is between 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be increased by 0.2 bar in winter and decreased by 0.1 bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard. The tire pressure of the vehicle can be checked on the dashboard. After starting the vehicle, use the selection buttons on the steering wheel to access the tire pressure monitoring system. The status of the tires will be displayed on the dashboard, and if the pressure is too low, a prompt will appear. Follow the prompt for necessary repairs. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a pressure below 2.0 bar is too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerated wear on the central tread of the tire, shortening its lifespan; Increased vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Excessive stretching of tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increased friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Heavy steering wheel and tendency to deviate, compromising driving safety; Increased movement of tire parts, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduced functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead area and causing abnormal wear; Multiplied friction between the tire and the ground, sharply increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a tire blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes below, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alarm will sound if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tires need to be checked and the pressure adjusted. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system will still record the previous data, causing the indicator light to come on. Simply reset the tire pressure to resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors the tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure warning light will illuminate. In such cases, the only solution is to replace the sensor with a new one.

What is the difference between split handlebars and one-piece handlebars?

The differences between one-piece handlebars and split handlebars mainly lie in the following aspects: Difference 1: The mirrors of split handlebars are usually located at the front of the vehicle, while the mirrors of one-piece handlebars are fixed on the handlebars. Difference 2: When the motorcycle turns, the mirrors of one-piece handlebars rotate with the turning of the vehicle body, while the mirrors of split handlebars do not rotate with the turning of the vehicle body. Difference 3: Split handlebars are more commonly used on motorcycles because they allow the rider to easily observe the rear situation when turning, helping to determine whether to avoid being overtaken or other actions. Difference 4: One-piece handlebars are installed at a higher position, while split handlebars are installed at a relatively lower position.

Is Goodride Tire the Same as Chaoyang Tire?

Goodride Tire is not the same as Chaoyang Tire, although both are subsidiaries of Zhongce Rubber Group. Below is an introduction to Goodride Tire and Chaoyang Tire: 1. Goodride Tire: Goodride Tire is more affordable than Chaoyang Tire. It is not only wear-resistant but also has excellent pressure resistance. However, the base rubber of the tire crown is too thin, and a small portion of the tires may deform after 80% of the tread pattern is worn. With its decent quality and affordable price, Goodride Tire has gained a significant market share. 2. Chaoyang Tire: Chaoyang Tire products currently cover passenger car tires, commercial car tires, engineering vehicle tires, industrial and agricultural vehicle tires, and two-wheeler tires. Each series offers various performance tires to meet consumers' personalized needs. The biggest advantage of Chaoyang Tire is not its wear resistance but its balanced performance in terms of noise reduction, grip, and fuel efficiency. As a domestic brand, its price is its greatest advantage, offering high cost performance. The same model may cost only half as much as a Michelin tire.

After entering the highway acceleration lane, how quickly should the vehicle speed be increased to what level?

Above 60 km/h. "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Article 78: Highways shall indicate the driving speed of lanes, with the maximum speed not exceeding 120 kilometers per hour and the minimum speed not lower than 60 kilometers per hour. Maximum speed: On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger vehicles shall not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, for other motor vehicles not exceeding 100 kilometers per hour, and for motorcycles not exceeding 80 kilometers per hour. For roads with three or more lanes in the same direction: the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110 kilometers per hour, and for the middle lane, it is 90 kilometers per hour. If the speed indicated by road speed limit signs is inconsistent with the above lane driving speed regulations, the speed indicated by the road speed limit signs shall be followed.

What is the calorific value of diesel?

Diesel has a calorific value of 3.3*10^7J/L. Below are relevant introductions: Introduction 1: Diesel has a higher heat capacity per unit volume compared to gasoline, resulting in greater distance traveled per liter. The exhaust gases from diesel combustion differ from gasoline; while some pollutants are lower, diesel contains more impurities and burns less completely without ignition, producing more soot. Automobile companies are developing technologies to reduce pollution. Introduction 2: To mitigate pollution caused by soot, in recent years, diesel-burning machinery, including vehicles, in Western European countries must be equipped with particulate filters. Additionally, sulfur oxide pollution is another concern, making the sulfur content in diesel a key focus. Many markets have introduced ultra-low sulfur diesel, with stricter regulations requiring sulfur content below 10-50ppm.

How many points are deducted for overtaking on the right?

Overtaking on the right will deduct 3 points from the driver's license. Driving a motor vehicle and overtaking on the right results in a 3-point deduction and a fine. Overtaking on the right refers to a situation where a following vehicle in the same lane moves to the right lane, overtakes the vehicle in front, and then returns to the original lane, all within a very short period of time. If the vehicle is far from the overtaken vehicle before and after overtaking, it is not considered overtaking on the right. Overtaking on the right is a very dangerous behavior. Most cars are left-hand drive, and the right side has a larger blind spot. For the following vehicle, if there is an obstacle in the right lane ahead, it can be hard to see, and overtaking on the right rashly can easily lead to danger, potentially causing a rear-end collision. For the vehicle being overtaken, the driver has a significant blind spot on the right side and may not quickly notice the overtaking vehicle. If the driver changes lanes to the right, the consequences could be disastrous.
