In my experience with the Mitsubishi 4G69S4N engine, it can easily last over 200,000 kilometers. I once drove an old Pajero for ten years, clocking 250,000 kilometers, and it still runs smoothly. It's quite durable, but proper maintenance is key—like changing the oil and air filter every 5,000 kilometers without skipping. Neglecting this can lead to carbon buildup and a sharp rise in fuel consumption. I've seen some guys cut corners, frequently driving short distances without warming up the engine, resulting in premature failure by 150,000 kilometers. Another critical point is the cooling system—regularly top up the coolant to avoid overheating and damaging parts. If you stick to routine shop checks, including the timing belt and spark plugs, it can effortlessly reach 300,000 kilometers. With proper care, it’s absolutely worth the investment. Ultimately, its lifespan depends largely on your driving habits—just avoid being too rough with it.

Can the Sidewall of a Tire Be Repaired?

Tire sidewall damage can be repaired depending on the actual situation, and each case should be judged individually. If the cord layer is not damaged, it can be repaired without increasing the risk of a blowout. However, if more than three cords in the tire sidewall are broken, repair is not recommended as it may affect driving safety. Below is relevant information about car tires: 1. Structure: Modern car tires are primarily radial tires, mainly composed of the cord layer and rubber. The cord layer consists of horizontal and vertical cords (some may include steel mesh), primarily serving a load-bearing function, while the rubber mainly provides sealing and flexible deformation capabilities. 2. Repair Principle: If the tire cord layer is damaged, it directly affects the tire's strength. The more cords that are broken, the greater the risk of a blowout. Similarly, if the inner cords of the tire are not punctured, the tire can still be used normally after restoring airtightness.

What to Do If You Can't Reverse Park?

Owners who can't reverse park can turn the steering wheel half a turn to reverse park, although the position may not be very accurate, the car can still enter the parking space in the end. Here are some related tips for reverse parking: 1. Adjust to the appropriate position: After getting in the car, find the right position, the length between the lower abdomen and the steering wheel is generally about 1 to 2 fists. 2. Release the clutch slowly: Gradually release the clutch to make the car move slowly. When the shoulder is aligned with the edge of the reverse storage, the steering wheel should be turned all the way. 3. Turn the steering wheel quickly: Keep a close eye on the left rearview mirror and turn the steering wheel quickly all the way. 4. Maintain a uniform speed: Reverse into the parking space slowly, straighten the car body, and then stop.

What causes the car to not start with flashing lights?

When the car won't start and the lights are flashing, it's usually due to insufficient battery voltage. Here are some car battery maintenance tips: 1. Turn off all lights before shutting down the engine: Some older models don't have the automatic power-off feature after engine shutdown, so you need to manually turn off headlights and interior reading lights. If you need to find something in the car or require lighting, use your phone or a flashlight instead of forgetting to turn off the reading light, which would drain the battery. 2. Turn off the AC and audio system before shutting down the engine: The AC system involves the compressor and blower, while the audio is also a high-power electrical device. If not turned off before shutdown, they will automatically start up during the next ignition, placing a heavy burden on the battery and potentially causing damage. This is especially true for car audio enthusiasts who have modified their sound systems, as this increases daily power consumption and creates greater impact on the battery during startup.

How to Get Fuel Delivered When Your Car Runs Out of Gas?

When your car runs out of gas, you can call the road administration hotline to request fuel delivery assistance from staff. Below are some tips for reducing your vehicle's fuel consumption: 1. Gentle acceleration: The initial low-speed acceleration phase consumes the most fuel, so lightly pressing the accelerator during startup to avoid excessive RPM can effectively reduce fuel usage. 2. Avoid high RPM: Try to avoid unnecessary high engine speeds, as fluctuating RPMs will significantly increase fuel consumption. 3. Regular maintenance: Change engine oil and remove carbon deposits periodically. 4. Avoid sudden braking: Anticipating road conditions not only improves driving safety but also saves fuel. For example, gradually slowing down before traffic lights and utilizing inertia to coast.

How to Remove an Ant Nest in the Car?

Here are several methods to remove an ant nest in the car: 1. Sweet Fruit Lure Method: Place some sweet fruits, such as grapes, on the car mat. Ants are particularly fond of sweets, and unknowingly, many ants will gather on the grapes. After some time, simply clean up the grapes with ants. 2. Caramel Lure Method: To remove ants from the car, take a piece of newspaper and place a piece of caramel on it. Let the caramel melt under the sun, then place the melted caramel on the newspaper and position it in areas of the car where ants are frequently seen. 3. Sticky Mouse Trap Method: To eliminate ants in the car, purchase a few sticky mouse traps, sprinkle some sugar in the center of the traps, and place them in corners of the car where ants are active.

Can a Swollen Electric Vehicle Battery Still Be Used? What Are the Hazards?

Electric vehicle batteries that have swollen should not continue to be used. This is because a swollen battery's charging capacity is significantly reduced, and it also poses certain dangers. A swollen battery can continue to generate high temperatures, which may cause flammable materials or wires to melt, and in the most severe cases, lead to battery explosion. Below are the main reasons for battery swelling: 1. Charger: The charger's parameters do not match the battery's required specifications. This could be due to an initial mismatch or parameter drift caused during usage. 2. Battery: Mainly caused by sulfation, which results from factors such as high-current discharge, failure to charge in time, deep discharge, frequent discharge, insufficient charging time, or issues with the charger itself. 3. Safety Valve: Every electric vehicle battery has a safety valve. When the internal pressure of the battery rises, the safety valve automatically opens to release pressure, ensuring normal battery operation. However, if the battery's pressure increases and the safety valve fails to open, swelling can occur.
