The factory-specified fluid from Ford is a specialized red-can oil labeled with the Ford logo, with the model number WSSM2C202AA. 1. Fluid exchange using a circulation machine: When replacing transmission fluid while the vehicle is running, the amount required depends on your transmission type, typically starting at 4L. It's recommended to purchase 5L, especially if the car is frequently driven, as some fluid may be consumed. However, with the gravity drain method, the fluid in the torque converter cannot be removed, leaving a significant amount of dirty old fluid in the transmission. With a circulation machine, all the fluid in the transmission is extracted, and new fluid is fully injected, ensuring a thorough replacement. 2. Main functions of transmission fluid: To keep the shifting system clean and to lubricate the transmission components, extending their lifespan. Transmission designs vary, including manual transmissions and automatic transmissions (further divided into CVT, AMT, etc.), each with different technical requirements. Even the same transmission model installed in different vehicles may differ in torque, weight, speed, and structure, so the manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission fluid.

I've been driving a 2012 Focus automatic for several years and change the transmission fluid at every service using Motorcraft Mercon LV. Ford officially specifies this fluid because it matches the design of the 6-speed automatic transmission, protecting the torque converter and gear sets to reduce wear. If you don't use the specified fluid, it may cause shifting jerks or overheating issues, leading to higher repair costs. The fluid level should be checked and changed every 40,000 kilometers, as both overfilling and underfilling affect performance. When changing it yourself, wear gloves and prepare funnel tools for safety. A bottle of ATF usually costs a few dozen yuan, and regular maintenance is much more cost-effective than major repairs.

How to start a Baojun 510 when the battery is dead?

If the battery of a Baojun 510 is dead, you can use jumper cables, a portable power bank, an emergency car power source, or get a jump start from another vehicle. Choose the method that suits your situation best. Having a backup power source is the simplest and quickest solution. Below are the detailed steps: 1. If using an emergency power source to start the vehicle, first open the hood. Connect the positive cable of the emergency power source to the positive terminal of the battery and the negative cable to the negative terminal. Then, enter the vehicle and start it. Once the vehicle is running, quickly disconnect the cables from the battery, ensuring the cables do not touch each other during removal. Keep the engine running at around 2000 RPM for a few minutes or drive the vehicle for a while to complete the dead battery start-up process. 2. Under normal usage, a car battery lasts about five to six years. It is less likely to die, but if the vehicle is not started for a long time in winter, the battery can easily lose power. In other seasons, if the vehicle is not driven, it should be started every three to five days and run for 10 to 20 minutes to ensure the battery remains charged.

Is the OBD Fuel Saver Effective?

OBD interface fuel savers are quite useful. The OBD fuel saver is a power and fuel optimization device (based on the OBD protocol) that can adjust the vehicle according to the driver's habits, remap the car's ECU, and self-regulate. It not only enhances and optimizes the car's engine and power, giving the driver a refreshing new feel, but also improves fuel efficiency and helps reduce the vehicle's fuel consumption. Here is some relevant information about the car OBD: 1. The OBD system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check if the vehicle's emissions exceed standards. If they do, it will immediately issue a warning. 2. OBD detection requires the cooperation of numerous sensors. However, sometimes it may not necessarily be a vehicle issue but rather a sensor malfunction causing the OBD to give a false alarm. 3. If you notice that the OBD fault code appears intermittently, it is likely due to a damaged sensor. In this case, simply replacing the sensor can resolve the issue. Additionally, after clearing the OBD fault code, the vehicle should be driven sufficiently before undergoing inspection at the vehicle management office.

Can a 48V 12Ah Battery Be Replaced with a 48V 20Ah One?

48V 12Ah battery can be replaced with a 48V 20Ah one, which has no impact on the battery itself. However, it will place a heavier burden on the charger. Currently, if it's for temporary use, you can continue using the original charger. But if conditions permit, it's recommended to purchase a higher-power charger that matches the battery's current more closely. Below is an extended explanation: Specific reason: It is commonly thought that a charger with a lower ampere-hour (Ah) rating cannot fully charge a battery with a higher Ah rating. In fact, the opposite is true—not only can it fully charge the battery, but it may even overcharge it, albeit at a slower rate. Conversely, a charger with a higher Ah rating charging a battery with a lower Ah rating may not fully charge it but will charge it faster. Therefore, a 48V 12Ah charger should not be used to charge a 48V 20Ah battery, as overcharging may cause the battery to fail.

Where is the cabin air filter located on the Chery Fengyun 2?

The cabin air filter of the Chery Fengyun 2 is located in the upper left part of the engine compartment, specifically beneath the right wiper blade. The filter is secured by a sealed cover fastened with two screws. After removing these screws and lifting the cover, you can access and remove the cabin air filter. Below is relevant information about cabin air filters: 1. When operating the vehicle's air conditioning system, external air is drawn into the passenger compartment. This air contains various particulate matter including dust, pollen, soot, abrasive particles, ozone, odors, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, benzene, etc. Without proper filtration, these contaminants would not only pollute the AC system and reduce cooling performance, but also cause health issues such as allergic reactions, lung damage, and irritation from ozone exposure, all of which compromise driving safety. High-quality cabin air filters can effectively capture particulate matter, alleviate respiratory discomfort, reduce irritation for allergy sufferers, enhance driving comfort, and protect the AC cooling system. 2. There are two types of cabin air filters: non-activated carbon and activated carbon versions. The activated carbon variant provides additional odor absorption capabilities beyond standard filtration functions. The recommended replacement interval for cabin air filters is typically every 12,000 kilometers.
