When changing motorcycle oil, you also need to replace the oil filter and the air filter. Replacing the oil filter: Replace the oil filter and fuel filter. This can prevent impurities from mixing into the oil and clogging the oil passages during engine operation. Generally, semi-synthetic oil should be changed every 5,000-8,000 kilometers, synthetic oil every 8,000-10,000 kilometers, and mineral oil should not exceed 5,000 kilometers. Replacing the air filter: Replace the air filter. If it wasn't replaced during the 10,000-kilometer maintenance, it must be replaced at the 20,000-kilometer maintenance. The air filter's function is to block dust particles from entering the engine during the intake process. If it was replaced at 10,000 kilometers, it can be cleaned. Checking the brake pads: Check the motorcycle's brake pads for severe wear or oil contamination. Brake pads are generally replaced every 30,000-50,000 kilometers, but they should be checked at 20,000 kilometers. Ask the mechanic how much longer they can be used. If the brakes fail, it can lead to serious consequences and is extremely unsafe.

How far can you drive when the fuel tank warning light turns yellow?

There is actually no unified standard for how far a car can travel when the fuel tank warning light turns yellow. Different car models and fuel consumption rates determine the vehicle's remaining driving range. According to the theoretical values in the car's manual, it is generally 40 to 50 kilometers, but the actual driving distance depends on factors such as road conditions and driving habits. A full tank of fuel typically supports driving for about 600 kilometers, not less than 500 kilometers. Due to various factors like vehicle condition and road conditions, the remaining fuel capacity when the warning light comes on is not always the same. For example, when the fuel level is close to the warning point, high-speed driving, going up or down slopes, strong vibrations, turning, or emergency braking can cause the warning light to illuminate. Different road conditions result in varying fuel consumption. In relatively congested traffic with slower speeds and frequent braking and acceleration, fuel consumption tends to be higher. The warning light can only provide an approximate estimate of the fuel tank capacity; it is not the sole standard.

How to Adjust the Rearview Mirrors on the Buick Excelle?

Buick Excelle rearview mirror adjustment method: The left and right rearview mirror adjustment buttons for the Buick Excelle are located on the left side of the steering wheel. When the knob is in position O, first rotate it to the L or R position to select the left or right mirror, then push the control knob left, right, up, or down to adjust the mirror. The interior rearview mirror can be adjusted using an adjustment lever located beneath its housing. For the left rearview mirror, adjust it so the horizon line is positioned at the center one-half of the mirror, with one-quarter of the car body visible in the mirror. For the right rearview mirror, maintain the car body image at one-quarter of the mirror while adjusting the horizon line to occupy two-thirds of the mirror. This adjustment ensures you can see the following vehicle closely behind you as well as vehicles approaching from other lanes. The interior rearview mirror should be parallel to the horizon, with the horizon positioned at the center one-half of the mirror for optimal visibility.

What Causes Idle Shaking in Sedans?

Reasons for idle shaking in sedans: 1. Severe engine carbon buildup: A common cause of car shaking is excessive dirt in the throttle body or carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. 2. Ignition system issues: Check the working condition of spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance in the ignition system or weak spark plug firing can also lead to such faults. 3. Unstable fuel pressure: If you have already cleaned the engine carbon buildup, throttle body, replaced gaskets and spark plugs, but still notice body shaking at idle, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake manifold pressure sensor. 4. Aging engine components: Car shaking can also be related to worn engine mounts. Engine mounts act as the shock absorption system for the engine, absorbing minor vibrations during operation. If the engine mounts fail, these vibrations can transfer to the steering wheel and cabin, causing shaking during idle in the morning.
