The items required for the first maintenance include: driver's license; vehicle registration certificate; maintenance manual; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle's driving license; vehicle's purchase invoice, to be taken to the designated first maintenance institution for the vehicle's first maintenance. The precautions are: make an appointment with the 4S store in advance. The first maintenance refers to the first maintenance after the new car is driven, and the specific time varies from car to car, generally after driving 1000 to 3000 kilometers. The car needs to participate in the first maintenance in time, neither in advance nor delayed. The realization of the first maintenance marks that the running-in period of the car is now over, and it can be driven according to the standard load and normal speed required by the car. The time of the first car insurance is calculated according to the date of picking up the car. There are two indicator values for the first maintenance time: mileage and time. Whichever comes first is the standard. The first maintenance items include: oil change, oil filter replacement, air filter cleaning, checking whether various oil levels are normal, checking whether the generator belt and wiper blades are damaged, checking whether the tire pressure is normal, checking whether the tires are damaged, bulging, etc. Necessary time: It takes about 2 hours to complete all the work. The most important thing for the first maintenance of a new car is to change the oil and oil filter. When changing the oil, the oil filter must be replaced together. When choosing the oil, you must refer to the "Vehicle Use and Maintenance Manual", as different vehicle models have different oil specifications. Maintenance precautions: Do not rinse the interior of the car body with water: Many people will tidy up and clean the car by themselves during holidays, rinsing the body with water and scrubbing with a cloth. Here, it is necessary to remind that the interior of the car body does not need to be directly rinsed with water. If the floor mats are dirty, you can use a vacuum cleaner, or take them out, brush and wash them with detergent, dry them, and then put them back. There are many through holes in the grooves under the rubber mats on the floor of the cab. After water enters, it will not dry by wind, but will flow through the through holes to parts such as the gearbox for erosion and corrosion. A good practice is to clean with a vacuum cleaner and then scrub with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: When the antifreeze in the car is in short supply, it is recommended that you drain the antifreeze as soon as possible and add the same brand of antifreeze from the beginning. Because the brands of antifreeze are different, their chemical functions are also very different. Various functional preservatives will corrode other functional preservatives. Different brands of antifreeze use different preservatives. Do not mix them to avoid unnecessary trouble. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: When the bolts of a running car are rusty, they are usually oiled so that they can work normally again. In order to prevent the bolts and nuts on the wheels from rusting, some people apply lubricating oil to the bolts and nuts, but this brings necessary risks to safe driving. When the car is running at high speed, the bolts and nuts are simply lifted or even dropped, causing driving failure. When promoting the EFI car, do not step on the accelerator: The promoter of the EFI car is different from that of ordinary cars. Its fuel injection control device can actively adjust the fuel supply according to the temperature and working conditions of the promoter, making the promoter promote smoothly.

At what mileage should a new car switch from 0w20 to 0w30?

A new car using 0w20 should switch to 0w30 after 50,000 kilometers. Engine oil classification: Engine oils are classified as: conventional mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. Mineral oil is a commonly used lubricant in the market, derived from the distillation of petroleum to extract useful substances. Semi-synthetic oil is made from semi-synthetic base oil, which is a product of mineral oil refined through hydrocracking technology. The purity of semi-synthetic oil is very close to that of full synthetic oil, but its cost is slightly higher than mineral oil, making it an ideal transitional product from mineral oil to synthetic oil. Full synthetic oil is a high-grade oil in the engine oil category, derived from ethylene and propylene dispersed from natural gas or crude oil, which then undergo polymerization, catalysis, and other complex chemical reactions to form a lubricating fluid composed of large molecules. Functions of engine oil: Lubrication: The primary function of engine oil is lubrication. It forms an oil film on the metal surfaces of the engine, reducing wear. Cleaning: It breaks down sludge and deposits generated during engine operation, keeping the engine internals clean. Rust prevention: It neutralizes acidic substances produced during engine operation and forms an anti-rust and anti-corrosion layer, preventing metal parts from rusting and corroding due to oxidation. Sealing: It seals the gaps between pistons and cylinders, ensuring complete fuel combustion and improving fuel efficiency. Cooling: It dissipates high temperatures generated by engine wear, protecting various engine components.

How to Use Antifreeze?

The method of using antifreeze is as follows: Before adding antifreeze, it is necessary to clean the engine's cooling system. Since antifreeze generally contains descaling agents and cleaning agents, if the engine cooling system is not cleaned before use, the existing scale may come into contact with the antifreeze, leading to detachment and blockage of the water pipes. This can result in poor antifreeze circulation and cause the engine to overheat. During the use of antifreeze, regular checks are required. The validity period is generally about 2 years. When adding antifreeze, ensure it is within the validity period and also check the color and consistency of the antifreeze. If the antifreeze shows signs of deterioration, unusual odor, or becomes cloudy, it should be replaced promptly.

Will a Mixture of Half Water and Half Antifreeze Freeze?

A mixture of half water and half antifreeze cannot prevent freezing. Antifreeze has excellent anti-freezing properties, but when diluted with water, its effectiveness diminishes, failing to achieve the desired anti-freezing effect. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers superior performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion throughout the year. Types of Antifreeze: Antifreeze is generally categorized into three types: ethanol-water, glycerol-water, and ethylene glycol-water. How to Choose Antifreeze: The basic indicators for antifreeze are its freezing point and boiling point. Market-available antifreeze comes in specifications with freezing points such as -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, and -40°C. It is advisable to choose a product with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Methods to Determine if Antifreeze is Low: Observe the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to low antifreeze levels, though it could also indicate excessively high engine temperatures. Check the antifreeze reservoir. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving and add antifreeze promptly. Check the water level marks on the antifreeze tank. The normal antifreeze level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. If the level is below the minimum mark, it indicates a shortage of antifreeze.

What Causes Low Tire Pressure Warning?

Low tire pressure warning may be caused by: insufficient air pressure, tire damage leading to air leakage, or low ambient temperature. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tires. In automotive maintenance terms, while the engine is considered the heart of a car (whose failure would mean the end of vehicle's life), tire pressure acts as the blood pressure of a vehicle. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in a car's performance and power output. Air pressure is the lifeline of tires - both excessive and insufficient pressure will shorten tire lifespan. Insufficient pressure increases tire body deformation, makes sidewalls prone to cracking, generates excessive flexing movement leading to overheating, accelerates rubber aging, causes fatigue in cord layers and breakage of ply cords. It also enlarges the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.

Is it allowed to make a U-turn over double white lines?

U-turns are not allowed over double white lines. Any solid line prohibits U-turns, but some areas that indeed require U-turns are marked with 'U-turn signs'. Beyond these designated areas, U-turns are not permitted. Restrictions on U-turns: 1. Vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs and markings, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or any sections of the road where it is prone to danger. 2. Vehicles can make U-turns at locations without no U-turn or no left-turn signs and markings, but they must not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians.
