An appropriate RPM for an automatic transmission car is between 1800 and 2000. RPM refers to the number of revolutions per minute of the engine crankshaft. The engine RPM is related to the number of power strokes per unit time or the effective power output of the engine. Its function is to promptly reflect the operating condition of the engine, allowing the driver to better coordinate the transmission gear and throttle position, thereby maintaining the car in an optimal working state. The correct method for parking an automatic transmission car is: 1. After reaching the parking position, press the brake until the vehicle comes to a complete stop; 2. Shift the gear lever into N (Neutral) without releasing the brake; 3. Engage the handbrake and release the foot brake; 4. After ensuring the car is stationary, press the brake again, shift into P (Park), and then exit the vehicle and lock it.

When I encounter the issue of automatic transmission RPM during daily driving, I find it ideal to maintain the RPM between 1500 and 3000 during normal operation, depending on whether you're driving in the city or on the highway. For slow starts in traffic jams, keeping the RPM around 1500 ensures smoothness and fuel efficiency. When accelerating or overtaking on the highway, increasing the RPM above 2500 provides better responsiveness. Remember not to let the RPM stay too high for extended periods, as prolonged high RPM can wear out engine components and shorten their lifespan. Additionally, keeping the RPM below 2000 during the break-in period of a new car is safer, and I regularly check the engine oil to prevent early malfunctions.

What to Do When the Car Air Conditioner Leaks Water into the Car?

Reasons for car air conditioner leaking water into the car: 1. Blocked drain pipe: Long-term use can cause the drain pipe to age, loosen, or bend, forming a wavy shape that leads to poor drainage and local blockages, causing water to leak into the car. Replace the drain pipe to fix the issue. 2. Clogged drain outlet: The outdoor drain outlet may be blocked by debris, preventing condensation water from draining. This can cause water to back up and eventually leak into the car. Clean the drain pipe to resolve the issue. 3. Improper installation: If the indoor unit is tilted excessively or the pipe direction is too high, water may not flow properly, leading to accumulation and eventual leakage into the car. Reinstall the unit to correct the problem.

What glue is used to repair a leaking car radiator?

For a leaking car radiator, a high-strength leak sealant can be used to stop the leak. Here is some relevant information: 1. Do not drive if the radiator is leaking: If the radiator lacks water or has too little, the engine will not receive sufficient cooling from water or antifreeze, leading to overheating, which can cause cylinder scuffing or bearing seizure, making the engine unable to start. 2. Insufficient coolant: A leaking radiator directly results in insufficient coolant, causing the engine temperature to rise excessively. This can lead to insufficient oil viscosity, preventing the formation of an oil film between friction surfaces and increasing wear. The pressure inside the engine cylinders becomes too high, leading to rough operation. Various mating components, especially aluminum ones, may experience thermal deformation.
