Keeping the retarder on continuously is equivalent to imposing an additional load on the engine. Here are some relevant details about the engine: 1. Engine displacement: Engine displacement is one of the most important structural parameters of an engine. By understanding the engine's displacement, you can gauge the vehicle's power performance. Generally, the larger the engine displacement, the greater the power output and the higher the fuel consumption. 2. Engine speed: Different engines have varying maximum power RPMs. Typically, gasoline engines reach their maximum power at 5000-8000r/min, while diesel engines operate at lower speeds, around 3000-5000r/min.

Should You Shift Gears or Apply the Handbrake First When Parking?

When parking, you should first apply the handbrake and then shift into gear. The principle behind the handbrake stopping the vehicle is to clamp the rear brake discs, preventing the rear wheels from rotating. Mechanical cable-type handbrakes use a steel cable to pull the brake caliper, which then clamps the brake disc, while electronic handbrakes operate by controlling a servo motor on the brake caliper to clamp the disc. The P (Park) gear locks the front wheels, and the handbrake locks the rear wheels, ensuring the vehicle cannot move. However, if you try to push the car while only in P gear, you may notice the vehicle can move slightly. This is because the pawl and gear have a relatively large meshing gap. Additionally, the P gear's pawl gear has a self-protection mechanism—once the pushing force reaches a certain level, the pawl will disengage to avoid damaging the transmission. Therefore, the P gear is not as reliable as the handbrake.

Do I Need to Add Cleaner When Switching to Ethanol Gasoline?

Switching to ethanol gasoline does not require adding a cleaner. As a new generation of clean and environmentally friendly fuel, ethanol gasoline itself is an excellent organic solvent with strong dissolving effects. After adding ethanol gasoline, impurities, dirt, and sediments at the bottom of the fuel tank and in the fuel lines will automatically be softened and dissolved into the gasoline. With increasingly stringent national controls on vehicle emissions, both engine technology and fuel quality have been gradually improving. The cleanliness of today's gasoline is very high, and the amount of sediment and dirt produced in the fuel tank is minimal. For cars that are 5 to 6 years old, there is no need to clean the fuel lines at all. If no issues occur after switching to ethanol gasoline, even after driving an additional 30,000 kilometers, cleaning the fuel lines is still unnecessary.
