I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz GLA for several years, and I pay special attention to engine oil selection. The standard specification is 5W-30 synthetic oil, and Mercedes-Benz officially recommends oil that meets the MB229.51 specification. This type of oil maintains consistent performance in both high and low temperatures, protecting the engine from wear. During high-speed driving in summer, the oil viscosity remains stable and doesn't thin out, preventing overheating. In winter, even at sub-zero temperatures, it flows quickly, reducing engine noise and fuel consumption. I change the oil every 10,000 kilometers, opting for synthetic oil from major brands like Mobil or Shell, which costs around 500 RMB. Don't try to save money by using mineral oil, as it may cause engine knocking, sluggish acceleration, and shorten the vehicle's lifespan. Always keep an eye on the maintenance reminders on the dashboard and check the oil level promptly to ensure safety.

Where is the wheel hub located on a car?

The wheel hub is located at the center of the wheel where the axle is installed, commonly referred to as the "rim" or "steel rim." Wheel hubs are prone to accumulating dirt, and if not cleaned for an extended period, they may corrode or deform, posing safety hazards. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the maintenance of wheel hubs. The main parameters of a car wheel hub include: hub size, PCD, offset (ET), and center bore. Hub size consists of two parameters: the diameter of the tire ring and the width of the tire ring. PCD: Refers to the pitch circle diameter of the wheel hub's bolt holes. Offset (also known as offset or ET): This is the distance between the mounting surface and the centerline of the wheel hub, used to adjust the wheel track and ensure the wheel does not interfere with the car body. Center Bore: This is the large hole in the middle of the wheel hub. Depending on the characteristics and requirements of different car models, the surface treatment process of the wheel hub may vary, generally categorized into painting and electroplating. For standard car models, wheel hubs are less focused on appearance, with good heat dissipation being a basic requirement. The process typically involves painting, which includes spraying followed by baking, offering an economical cost, vibrant colors, and long-lasting durability. Wheel Hub Maintenance: Choose the right cleaner: Household cleaners and common dishwashing detergents on the market, being either alkaline or acidic, can be highly corrosive to the wheel hub's surface. Opt for a neutral soap solution to clean and avoid exposing the wheels to strong chemicals. When the wheel hub is at a high temperature, avoid washing it directly with cold water. Wait for it to cool naturally before cleaning, as immediate cold water contact can damage the aluminum alloy hub and even deform the brake disc, affecting braking performance.
