When that little yellow light on the dashboard comes on, my first thought is that there's an issue with the engine system. Last time my car did this, the mechanic said it was caused by abnormal oxygen sensor signals. When this light turns on, the computer is telling you: 'Quick, check what's wrong with me!' There could be many possible reasons, like a loose fuel cap causing vapor leakage, aging spark plugs affecting ignition performance, or even reduced catalytic converter efficiency. I remember a friend who drove for half a month with the light on, and the catalytic converter ended up completely ruined, costing thousands to repair. So when you see the light on, don't delay—connect a diagnostic tool to check the trouble codes as soon as possible.

What Does Tire Pressure Mean?

The tire pressure of a car refers to the air pressure inside the tire. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the normal tire pressure for different types of tires is as follows: standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5bar. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance; It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; Increases 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; Decreases puncture resistance. Sharp objects like nails or glass can more easily penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks or blowouts. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and deviation, compromising driving safety; Increases movement of tire parts, leading to abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; Dramatically increases friction with the ground, rapidly raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may lead to blowouts; Increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area and accelerating shoulder wear.

What is the oil specification for Mercedes-Benz GLC?

The oil specification for Mercedes-Benz GLC is 5W40, which uses fully synthetic oil with a replacement cycle of 10,000 kilometers. For later maintenance oil changes, you can choose brands such as Mobil, Shell, Castrol, or Total. The viscosity of the oil changes with temperature, so special attention is needed to its performance under 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, ensuring smoother cold starts for the car. The latter number represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C. The higher the value, the better it maintains viscosity under high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the oil in a Mercedes-Benz GLC is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Loosen the oil drain plug with a wrench and use an oil pan to collect the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain; Remove the oil filter with a specialized wrench; Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new oil through the engine valve cover filler port, typically filling about three-quarters of the oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for oil leaks around the drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, perform repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the oil level is within the standard range.

Why Do Tires Get Hot?

Tire heating is primarily caused by factors such as high vehicle speed, greater weight, and the heat generated from braking. The friction produced when braking leads to an increase in tire temperature. During hot weather, it's advisable to stop the car to let it cool down after about two hours of continuous driving on the highway. It's crucial to avoid methods like splashing cold water on the tires, as this can cause cracks and shorten the tire's lifespan. After prolonged high-speed driving, it's normal for tires to heat up, resulting in a slight increase in temperature and internal tire pressure. As tires roll, they consume energy, part of which is absorbed by the tire and converted into heat. If this heat isn't dissipated in time, the tire temperature rises. Excessive temperature increases (exceeding 95°C) can lead to tire delamination and even tire blowouts.

What are the causes of transmission noise in the Roewe RX5?

Roewe RX5 experiencing transmission noise may be caused by insufficient or low-quality oil that does not meet the vehicle's specified standards, or improper maintenance leading to noise. Upon discovering any damage, timely repair of the Roewe RX5 transmission is necessary to completely resolve the issue. Below is a brief introduction to transmissions: 1. Classification of transmissions: Transmissions are divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions. Manual transmissions consist of gears and shafts, while automatic transmissions are composed of hydraulic torque converters, planetary gears, etc. 2. Development and reform of transmissions: With the continuous development of the automotive industry, transmissions have evolved from manual to automatic. Transmissions allow the car to move backward without changing the engine's rotation direction, and shifting to neutral can interrupt power to enable engine start and gear shifting. Owners using automatic transmissions can easily drive the car, and compared to manual transmissions, automatic transmissions are less prone to malfunctions.
