Truck adding automotive urea can catalyze the reduction of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas into harmless nitrogen and water in the selective catalytic reduction system of diesel vehicle exhaust. The following are the specific impacts of not adding urea: 1. Unable to pass annual inspection: If the staff finds that no urea has been added during the annual inspection, not only will the inspection fail, but corresponding penalties will also be imposed. 2. Excessive emissions: The exhaust emissions do not meet the standards, polluting the environment. 3. SCR system scrapped: Long-term absence of urea solution circulation will cause nozzle clogging, dry burning damage to the urea pump, pipeline crystallization, etc., eventually leading to the scrapping of the entire SCR system. 4. Power reduction: When the ECU detects that the owner has not added urea, it will limit the torque, making the vehicle lose power.

How often should a sedan be maintained?

Sedans should be maintained approximately every 5,000 kilometers or every 6 months. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as car servicing. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. Maintenance items include: 1. Replacement of engine oil and oil filter, mainly for the maintenance of the lubrication system, which effectively lubricates various components of the car engine to prevent excessive wear; 2. Replenishment of brake fluid and transmission oil; 3. Spark plugs are consumables and should be checked during each maintenance; 4. Replacement of the air filter to filter the air before it enters the cylinder, removing impurities, dust, sand, and other foreign particles.

How often should a car be driven when parked for long periods?

Cars should ideally be driven at least once a month under normal circumstances; for vehicles aged 4-5 years, it's recommended to drive them at least once a week. Prolonged parking can lead to tire aging, deformation, and battery drain. Therefore, it's best not to leave a car unused for too long; driving it for about half an hour every week is advisable. Below are some daily maintenance tips for cars: 1. Check the engine oil level: When the engine is cold, remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, then pull it out to check. The oil level should be between the upper and lower marks. For a hot engine, turn it off and wait until all the oil has drained back into the oil pan before measuring. 2. Check the coolant level: When the engine is cold, the radiator should be full, and the level in the expansion tank should be between the marked lines. When the engine is hot, the coolant level should be slightly above the upper mark.

Is It Necessary to Clean the Exterior of the Engine?

Cleaning the exterior of the engine is necessary. The purposes of cleaning the engine exterior are: 1. To keep the vehicle clean and tidy; 2. To reduce the damage caused by corrosive substances to various components of the engine exterior, thereby extending the lifespan of the engine parts; 3. To prevent dust and impurities from entering the engine compartment and forming carbon deposits and gum on the engine surface; 4. To avoid accelerated aging of wiring and rubber components; 5. To prevent engine damage caused by various oxidation processes. Methods for engine maintenance include: 1. Using high-quality engine oil; 2. Using qualified coolant; 3. Regularly cleaning scale from the radiator; 4. Periodically removing carbon deposits from the car; 5. Replacing the car's three filters on time; 6. Maintaining a reasonable engine speed.

What does the SE light mean?

This is the maintenance indicator light of the car. When this light comes on, the owner must immediately go to the 4S shop for maintenance. Regular maintenance is crucial for the car. If the car is not maintained on time, it will affect the performance of the car. Maintenance mainly involves replacing the wearing parts and fluids. Extended information: 1. The wearing parts of the car include engine oil, transmission oil, coolant, differential oil, power steering oil, and brake oil. Engine oil is called the blood of the engine. If there is no engine oil in the engine, the engine cannot run normally. Engine oil not only lubricates the engine but also cleans, seals, buffers, prevents rust, and dissipates heat. 2. When the engine is running, the engine oil forms an oil film on the surface of each part of the engine, which can prevent direct contact and friction between the parts. If the parts directly contact and cause friction, it will increase the wear of the engine and also cause a large amount of heat to be generated instantly in the engine, which is a fatal risk for the engine.

Can an Electric Vehicle with Lead-Acid Battery Use Lithium Battery?

It is not advisable to replace a lithium battery with a lead-acid battery. For electric vehicles, it is best to use the original lithium battery or lead-acid charger that comes with the vehicle. Using mismatched chargers can cause significant damage to the battery and may also lead to safety hazards. Additional Information: 1. When replacing a lithium battery with a lead-acid battery, it is essential to ensure that the voltage remains the same as the original lithium battery. Additionally, the charger must be replaced with a dedicated lead-acid battery charger. Improper installation or poor-quality lead-acid batteries may damage the controller. 2. When replacing a lithium battery with a lead-acid battery, the size of the battery compartment must also be considered. Generally, lithium battery compartments are relatively small, while lead-acid batteries are larger. This factor must be carefully considered before replacement. If the gap is too small after installation, the battery may not fit. If you decide to proceed with the replacement, it is recommended to consult an electric vehicle repair shop and have it installed by professionals.

Should New Cars Undergo Crystal Coating?

It is necessary. Once a new car leaves the production line, its paint surface begins to react with the air and oxidize. Over time, the paint deteriorates and loses its luster. Applying crystal coating to a new car can slow down the oxidation of the car's paint surface and help maintain its glossy appearance. Below are the benefits of crystal coating: 1. Enhanced corrosion resistance: After crystal coating, the car's surface is isolated from the external environment, making it less susceptible to oxidation by air and effectively preventing acid rain from corroding the paint surface. This significantly extends the lifespan of the car's paint. 2. Easier cleaning: The car's surface becomes as smooth as ceramic tiles after crystal coating. During routine car washes, simply rinsing with water can easily remove dust, mud, and other debris from the surface. 3. Scratch resistance: Crystal coating reduces damage from external forces to the car's surface. Any scratches will only affect the crystal layer, not the car's paint or primer, preventing severe damage.
