Generally, you can shift gears when the engine reaches around 2,000 RPM. The optimal RPM range for shifting is typically between 1,500 and 2,500 RPM. If fuel economy is a priority, shifting around 1,500-1,800 RPM is recommended. For lower gears, it's advisable to shift at around 2,000 RPM. During the break-in period, it's best to shift at lower RPMs. If you're looking for better performance, shifting around 2,000-2,500 RPM is ideal. Recommended RPM for upshifting: 1. During the break-in period, shift at 2,200-2,500 RPM (refer to the left tachometer). 2. After the break-in period, shift at 3,000 RPM, though in city driving, you can reduce this to 2,500 RPM.

Can 0w20 Engine Oil Be Used in Summer?

0w20 engine oil can be used in summer. This type of engine oil is suitable for both summer and winter use, and it performs well even under low-temperature conditions. However, using 0w20 engine oil in summer may have some impact on engine performance. This oil is particularly suitable for Japanese vehicles, such as Toyota and Honda. Below is some related information: 1. There are 4 types of summer engine oils, 6 types of winter engine oils, and 16 types of all-season oils. 2. The viscosity grades for summer oils are: 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60. The higher the number, the greater the viscosity, and the higher the maximum applicable temperature. 3. The viscosity grades for winter oils are: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, and 25W. The letter 'W' stands for Winter, and the smaller the number before 'W', the lower the low-temperature viscosity, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the minimum applicable temperature.

Should Transmission Fluid Be Changed During the First Car Maintenance?

New cars do not require a transmission fluid change during the first maintenance. Generally, most vehicle models need a transmission fluid change approximately every 3 years or 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Alternatively, you can refer to the maintenance manual of your specific vehicle model, which provides clear guidelines on the replacement time and mileage. Below is an introduction to the preparatory work that should be done before the first maintenance: 1. Before going for the first maintenance, make an appointment with the 4S store by phone. Due to the increasing number of vehicles, service workshops at various 4S stores are often "packed with cars." Without an appointment, you may have to wait for a long time. 2. When going for maintenance, be sure to bring the maintenance manual and the vehicle's registration certificate. Although the 4S store will perform the routine (free) maintenance even without the manual, keeping detailed records in the maintenance manual is crucial for future maintenance rights and related matters. 3. Before going for maintenance, carefully recall any faults or questions encountered during daily driving, note them down, and inform the staff during the first maintenance to facilitate their relevant inspections.
