Car second maintenance items include: 1. Check whether the engine oil and oil filter need to be replaced, depending on usage. 2. Check whether the gasoline filter needs to be replaced, depending on usage. 2. Check whether brake fluid, transmission oil, and power steering fluid need to be replaced, depending on usage. 3. Check whether brake pads, tires, shock absorbers, and suspension need maintenance, depending on usage. 4. Check whether spark plugs, throttle, and fuel supply system need maintenance, depending on usage. 5. Front and rear wheel rotation, routine (lights, battery, etc.) inspection.

My car just had its second maintenance service, and it feels super practical. Generally, it's done every 10,000 kilometers or six months to keep the car in good shape. The core tasks include changing the engine oil and oil filter, which helps remove dirt from the engine and ensures smoother operation. Tire inspection involves adjusting the air pressure and checking wear levels to prevent blowouts or instability on the road. The braking system must be thoroughly tested, checking the thickness of the brake pads and fluid levels to ensure safe stopping. All lights are tested to confirm they're working, especially crucial for night driving. Coolant levels are also checked and topped up to prevent overheating. Other tasks, like cleaning or replacing the air filter, ensure clean air intake and better fuel efficiency. The entire maintenance took about an hour, and the technician suggested balancing the tires next time as they were slightly off. I feel that doing these services on schedule can reduce car troubles and extend its lifespan. I also make sure to regularly check the engine oil and coolant temperature myself.

From a driving perspective, the key to the second maintenance lies in comprehensive upkeep. I prioritize engine oil replacement, as it lubricates the engine to reduce wear and avoid major repairs. Tire inspection is essential, including rotation, alignment, and checking for balanced wear to save on tire costs. Brake fluid levels and system testing ensure reliability in emergencies. The cooling system prevents boiling or freezing to protect the engine. Improper handling of the air filter can affect fuel efficiency and power, so it must be checked. Simple adjustments to lights ensure they function properly to prevent accidents. I also remind the shop to check the battery condition and the cabin air filter to maintain a fresh interior. These tasks may seem tedious but enhance driving safety and cost-efficiency. Spending a bit on each maintenance session proves economical in the long run.

I recently had my second maintenance service, which was super easy—mainly changing the engine oil and filter to keep the engine clean. Checked the tire pressure and wear for safety first. Did a lighting test to ensure all lights work, avoiding night blindness. Topped up the coolant to prevent overheating. A quick look at the brakes showed no major issues. The whole process was fast, done in just an hour, and the cost was reasonable. Now, the car runs smoother with much less noise. I recommend new car owners not to delay maintenance—it’s money well spent. Also, remember to check the air filter next time; it might need replacing to ensure good cabin air quality. Daily driving becomes more worry-free and saves on repair costs.

How to Distinguish the Quality of Car Window Films?

Distinguish the quality of car window films from these aspects: 1. Clarity: High-quality films allow clear visibility of objects beyond 6 meters at night, while inferior films appear foggy and are easily distinguishable. 2. Texture: Genuine films feel thick and smooth to the touch, whereas inferior films are thin, brittle, and prone to wrinkling. 3. Color: High-quality films have pigments evenly fused into the film, ensuring durability and resistance to discoloration; they won't fade even when scraped during installation. Thermal insulation performance is one of the key indicators of glass protective films.

How much weight can a regular sedan carry?

Generally, a sedan can carry 200kg-300kg. Below are detailed explanations about sedan cargo capacity: 1. With passengers: Luggage weight = Gross vehicle weight - Curb weight - Driver and passenger weight. For most 1.5L sedans, with 4 passengers, you can load about 100kg of luggage. 2. Without passengers: The trunk can hold items not exceeding 200kg. Long-term overloading will significantly increase fuel consumption, reduce vehicle stability, and accelerate tire wear. It's generally recommended not to overload. Greater mass means greater inertia, which can be dangerous.

What is the relationship between engine rated power and torque?

Engine rated power and torque relationship: 1. Torque: Torque is the force that causes an object to rotate. Engine torque refers to the moment output from the crankshaft end. Under the same power, the higher the speed, the smaller the torque. Peak torque affects vehicle acceleration. 2. Rated power: The power during normal engine operation generally refers to the rated power. It is a value set during the calibration process based on the engine's working environment and will not exceed the engine's maximum rated power. Under the same speed conditions, a vehicle with higher rated power will have greater torque and can achieve faster speeds.

Why does fuel consumption suddenly increase after a full tank?

The main reasons for a sudden increase in fuel consumption after filling up the tank are: 1. Spark plugs: If the spark plugs deteriorate, age, or become clogged, it can directly affect the complete combustion of fuel, leading to a significant increase in gasoline consumption. 2. Fuel quality: Poor-quality fuel can result in incomplete combustion, preventing the vehicle from delivering its intended power. To achieve sufficient power, drivers may need to press the accelerator harder, naturally increasing fuel consumption. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners choose reputable gas stations when refueling. 3. Overloading: Driving with the vehicle in a long-term overloaded state.

What does 'how many liters per 100 kilometers' mean?

Fuel consumption in liters per 100 kilometers refers to how many liters of fuel are consumed per 100 kilometers. Below are detailed explanations of two types of fuel consumption: 1. Constant-speed fuel consumption: This is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained from standardized tests for certain types of vehicles driving at a constant speed, as specified by national standards. 2. Comprehensive cycle fuel consumption: 'Cycle fuel consumption' includes the 'theoretical fuel consumption' in vehicles, as 'theoretical fuel consumption' refers to the actual fuel consumption measured when a vehicle is driving at a constant speed under specific conditions (such as on a flat asphalt road, with the engine speed at 3000r/min, in the highest gear, with wind speeds of 3-4 levels, etc.).

Where to Check All Your Scores After Passing Subject 4?

Generally, the driver's license is issued on the same day after passing Subject 4. You can check it on the Traffic Safety Service Management Platform, where your driver's license number is the same as your ID number. 1. Traffic Safety Service Management Platform Query: Log in to the registered local Public Security Traffic Management Bureau's Comprehensive Traffic Safety Service Platform to check personal information. If there are no issues with the final review, website information updates usually take about 2 working days. 2. Driver's License Information: Right after passing Subject 4, you generally cannot check the driver's license information. It can only be queried on the same day of the exam or after about a week. Since the relevant information of the driver's license requires manual entry, there might be some discrepancies, so there's no need to worry too much.
