The purpose of changing transmission fluid: It can make gear shifting smoother and more seamless, clean and lubricate the gear system, extend the service life of the transmission components, ensure the normal operation of the transmission, and to some extent reduce fuel consumption. New transmission fluid contains fewer metal impurities, reducing transmission wear, thereby extending the overall service life of the transmission and preventing minor malfunctions. The main functions of transmission fluid are lubrication and cooling; the fluid dissipates heat through the transmission housing and transmission radiator. The fluid level in an automatic transmission must not be too high or too low, as this can lead to quality hazards, causing premature transmission failures and abnormal operational issues.

Is it normal for brake discs to rust when a car is not driven for a long time?

It is normal for brake discs to rust when a car is not driven for a long time. These surface rust marks will come off during braking, so car owners don't need to worry. The braking system is a crucial component of a vehicle, directly related to driving stability and safety. The main parts of the braking system include the vacuum booster, master cylinder, wheel cylinder, brake pads, and brake discs. Both brake pads and brake discs are wear-and-tear components that require regular replacement. As the car's mileage increases, the brake pads and brake discs will gradually wear out. The brake fluid in the braking system also needs to be replaced periodically.

What grade of gasoline should an Audi Q5 use?

Audi Q5 requires 95-octane gasoline. The Audi Q5 is equipped with a turbocharged engine, which has higher requirements for gasoline. The octane rating of gasoline is the ratio of the actual gasoline's anti-knock performance to that of standard gasoline. The higher the octane rating, the stronger the anti-knock performance. Standard gasoline is composed of isooctane and n-heptane. A higher octane rating is not necessarily better; it should be reasonably selected based on the engine's compression ratio. The Audi Q5 is equipped with one TFSI gasoline engine and two TDI diesel engines, both of which feature fuel direct injection and turbocharging technology. The external dimensions of the vehicle are 4629mm in length, 1880mm in width, and 1653mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2807mm.

What is the charging current for starting a car battery?

Car battery starting charging current is 6A. When the car engine is running, it drives the generator to operate. The electricity generated by the generator can power the car's electrical devices, while another portion of the electrical energy can charge the battery through a transformer. The car battery is an important component of a vehicle, providing power to the ignition system and storing electrical energy for the car. Also known as a storage battery, the car battery is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the battery referred to is a lead-acid battery, which is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with an electrolyte of sulfuric acid solution. The normal service life ranges from 1 to 8 years, largely depending on the condition of the vehicle.

What Does Gross Vehicle Mass Refer To?

Gross Vehicle Mass (G) refers to the weight of a vehicle when fully equipped and loaded with passengers (including the driver) and cargo as specified. The determination of gross vehicle mass: 1. For passenger cars, the gross vehicle mass equals the curb weight plus the weight of the driver and passengers plus the luggage weight; 2. For buses, the gross vehicle mass equals the curb weight plus the weight of the driver and passengers plus the luggage weight plus the accessory weight; 3. For trucks, the gross vehicle mass equals the curb weight plus the weight of the driver and assistant plus the luggage weight. The curb weight of a vehicle refers to the weight of the vehicle when fully equipped according to factory specifications (such as spare tires, tools, etc.) and with all fluids filled.

How to Avoid Car Exposure to Sun in Summer?

Methods to avoid car exposure to sun in summer are: 1. Park the car in a shaded area to effectively avoid direct sunlight, which not only lowers the car's temperature but also reduces paint damage, thereby decreasing the frequency of car maintenance; 2. Cover the car with a sunshade car cover that provides heat insulation, effectively blocking heat and offering flame-retardant properties; 3. Apply explosion-proof and heat-insulating film to the car windows, which prevents glare, blocks UV rays, resists explosions and scratches, ensures clear vision, and protects privacy; 4. Use a fully automatic mobile car canopy, which can shield the car from sunlight, prevent bird droppings and debris, features one-touch remote control for simplicity and convenience, takes only a few seconds to deploy, and includes a dual windproof design to effectively protect the car's paint and interior.
