Transmission fluid level can be checked using the transmission dipstick. Here are specific details about transmission fluid: Function: Transmission fluid is an oil product that maintains the cleanliness of a vehicle's gear shifting system. It serves to lubricate and prolong the lifespan of the transmission components, providing effective lubrication even at low temperatures and reducing oil loss under harsh operating conditions. Types: Transmission fluids are categorized into automatic transmission fluid and gear oil. Automatic transmission fluid is specifically designed for automatic transmissions. Manual transmission fluid, commonly referred to as gear oil, is primarily composed of petroleum-based lubricating oil or synthetic lubricating oil, blended with extreme pressure anti-wear agents and oiliness agents to form an essential lubricant.

Where to Park Your Car Safely During a Flood?

Parking your car on higher ground is safe during a flood. Precautions when the vehicle stalls: If your vehicle stalls in a waterlogged area, do not attempt to restart the engine. Engine stalling indicates that water has entered the cylinders. Restarting the engine can cause severe damage to the piston connecting rod components due to the incompressibility of water, and in severe cases, it may lead to complete engine failure. Precautions for parking and driving: When parking, avoid areas near buildings, bridges, or underground parking lots with aging drainage systems. It is not advisable to drive during flood conditions. If driving is necessary, exercise extreme caution. Avoid driving on slippery mountain roads, waterlogged areas, or underpasses if safety cannot be guaranteed.

Should You Cover Your Car with a Car Cover During a Typhoon?

When conditions permit, it is best to cover your car with a car cover during a typhoon. Purchase Guidelines: When purchasing a car cover, pay attention to its quality. If the quality is poor, it will not only affect its protective function but may also damage the car's paint. Additionally, choose a car cover that matches the size of your vehicle. Using an oversized car cover can easily cause friction with the paint and allow moisture to enter the cover. Regular Cleaning: During the use of a car cover, it is necessary to clean it regularly to avoid odors, especially in harsh winter conditions with snow and ice, which are more likely to produce odors.

What Causes Many Scratches After Waxing Post-Painting?

Many scratches after waxing post-painting are caused by excessive force during the polishing process, which damages the original paint. Below are the specific functions of car waxing: Waterproofing and Acid Rain Protection: Waxing involves applying a protective layer of car wax to the vehicle's body. The primary benefits of waxing are waterproofing and acid rain protection. Due to the wax's protective effect, the amount of water droplets adhering to the car body is significantly reduced. Preventing Aging: Protection against high temperatures and UV rays. Cars driven or stored outdoors year-round are prone to paint aging and fading due to sunlight exposure. The film formed by waxing can reflect some of the light, effectively preventing paint aging. Enhanced Gloss: Anti-static and dust-proof. Additionally, car wax can enhance the vehicle's gloss, making it appear more lustrous.
