The normal operating temperature of coolant is between 80°C and 110°C. Coolant is used to regulate the engine temperature. If the temperature is too high, the engine cannot operate at its normal temperature, and moving parts may be damaged due to thermal expansion, disrupting normal clearances. Lubricating oil may also deteriorate or lose viscosity due to high temperatures, leading to parts seizing or increased wear. If the temperature is too low, the heat dissipation from combustion increases, resulting in higher working fluid performance and increased viscosity, which raises resistance to moving parts and reduces output power. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, which refers to coolant with antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine block during cold seasons. Antifreeze should be used year-round. As part of regular vehicle maintenance, engine antifreeze should be replaced every year.

How Many Years Does a Car Battery Normally Last?

Under normal circumstances, a car battery can last 3 to 4 years. The maintenance methods for car batteries are as follows: Regularly charge the battery: When a car's battery is not used for a long time, it will slowly discharge on its own until it becomes unusable. Therefore, start the car periodically to charge the battery. Avoid long-term parking: Do not leave the car parked in an open parking lot for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent freezing damage. The battery's charge level can be monitored on the dashboard. When the ammeter indicates insufficient charge, recharge the battery promptly.

Is It Necessary to Replace Car Shock Absorbers with Original Ones?

It is not necessary to replace car shock absorbers with original ones. Here are the relevant details: 1. Function of Car Shock Absorbers: They dampen vibrations transmitted to the car body due to uneven roads or poor driving conditions, maintaining vehicle smoothness and ride comfort; quickly eliminate vibrations in the axles and wheels caused by the road surface, ensuring the wheels maintain grip at all times, thereby guaranteeing the vehicle's steering and braking functions and improving driving safety. 2. Precautions: Generally, if you notice oil leakage from the shock absorber, it indicates a problem, and you should seek repairs to prevent abnormal shock absorber operation; press down firmly on the bumper and then release it—if the car bounces 2~3 times, it means the shock absorber is working well; if the car vibrates severely during slow driving followed by emergency braking, it indicates a problem with the shock absorber.

How Many Years is the Validity Period for a Car Before Scrapping?

Car validity period is 15 years. Below are the relevant details: Specific introduction to vehicle scrapping: Family 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs fall under non-commercial mini and small vehicles, which have no usage period limit. However, when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. After the vehicle exceeds 15 years, it requires inspection every 6 months. If it fails the inspection, it will be forcibly scrapped. Regulations on car service life: This refers to the entire period from when a car starts being used until it can no longer be used. It can be expressed in cumulative years of use or cumulative mileage. Cars must undergo annual inspections, and relevant authorities will determine the vehicle's service life based on the owner's usage and scientific calculations.

What is the appropriate RPM for normal car driving?

Car driving RPM between 1000 and 3500 is appropriate. Here are the relevant introductions: Introduction to car driving RPM: The higher the engine RPM, the more work is done per unit time, so the power is greater. However, the higher the RPM, the faster the entire cycle speed. Fuel is discharged without sufficient time for complete combustion. Therefore, fuel consumption will increase several times. So higher RPM is not always better. RPM mainly depends on speed and gear. The ideal state of car RPM: During car driving, try to avoid letting the engine work below 2000 RPM. If the RPM is too low, the engine will feel underpowered. When the engine is at low RPM with excessive load, it can cause damage to the engine and easily lead to carbon deposits.

What Happens If a Car Accidentally Uses Fake Engine Oil?

If a car accidentally uses fake engine oil, problems may not be immediately apparent. Here are the details: Symptoms of using fake engine oil in a car: After adding inferior oil, lubrication effectiveness cannot be guaranteed, especially in terms of poor cold-start anti-wear performance at low temperatures and insufficient high-temperature shear resistance. This leads to high-temperature wear, and heat dissipation becomes a serious issue, manifesting as unexplained high temperatures in the engine. Hazards of using fake engine oil in a car: It can cause irreversible wear and tear on internal engine components. This results in high-temperature wear, and heat dissipation becomes a significant problem, presenting as unexplained high temperatures in the engine.

What is the appropriate tire inflation pressure?

Here are the methods for checking tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge: Tire pressure gauges are generally divided into three types: analog (pointer-type) tire pressure gauges, digital tire pressure gauges, and alarm-type tire pressure gauges. The latter two can display tire pressure through numerical values or alarms, and their principles are relatively simple. An analog (pointer-type) tire pressure gauge can be connected to the tire valve stem to check the car's tire pressure, and then the tire pressure can be read by observing the pointer on the gauge head. Although the analog tire pressure gauge is also simple, it is prone to misreading if you are not familiar with it, while the other two types can provide tire pressure information more intuitively. Here is the method for checking tire pressure with an analog (pointer-type) tire pressure gauge: Remove the cap from the tire valve stem, connect the tire pressure gauge's air inlet to the tire valve stem, press down until the pointer reaches the highest value, and then release to start reading the tire pressure. After measuring the value, remember to replace the valve cap. The tire pressure gauge has two scales: one is in the imperial unit psi (pounds per square inch), and the other is in the unit kg/cm^2 (kilograms per square centimeter). The value 2.5 refers to the inner black numbers, with a marker indicating the exact position of 2.5. Tire pressure checks must be performed when the tires are cold, as high temperatures will increase the tire pressure. If the pressure is measured when the tires are hot, it is best to subtract approximately 0.2 to obtain the cold tire inflation pressure.
