Common maintenance items include: engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, and cabin air filter. Maintenance items and intervals: Automobile manufacturers provide a "Regular Maintenance Schedule" with each vehicle upon delivery. The maintenance items and intervals are typically determined based on mileage, aiming to achieve optimal performance and extend the vehicle's service life through regular maintenance. Different manufacturers and vehicle models may have varying maintenance items and intervals. Therefore, it's essential to refer to the vehicle's maintenance schedule for proper care. Car maintenance precautions: Avoid directly wiping the paint surface with a dry cloth. Rinse off dirt and soil from the car's surface with clean water, then dry with a clean absorbent cloth. Try to avoid air-drying after washing. When parking, consider avoiding prolonged exposure to sunlight, especially for white and non-metallic paint finishes. Minimize car washing frequency and avoid unnecessary waxing and polishing.

When making a U-turn at a crosswalk, should the entire car or just the front pass?

When making a U-turn at a crosswalk, the entire car must pass the crosswalk. Below are specific instructions for making a U-turn with a car: 1. Situations where U-turns are not allowed: Motor vehicles are not permitted to make U-turns at locations with no U-turn signs or no left-turn signs and markings, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or other hazardous sections where accidents are likely to occur. 2. Situations where U-turns are allowed: Motor vehicles can make U-turns at locations without no U-turn signs or no left-turn signs and markings, but they must not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians.

What Causes Gear Shifting Noise?

Here are the specific reasons for gear shifting noise: 1. Damaged transmission housing: Long-term wear and deformation of the transmission housing and bearing seat holes. The noise is loudest when shifting into low gears and decreases progressively when shifting into higher gears, with the direct gear being the quietest. 2. Broken gear teeth: Due to broken teeth on certain gears, impact occurs during meshing. When shifting into that gear, strong impact and vibration occur, causing resonance in the transmission housing. 3. Improper transmission assembly: Incorrect replacement of gears, needle bearings, or bushings in a certain gear, or abnormal assembly clearance, leading to poor gear meshing and noise during transmission in that gear.

What is the mix ratio for M5 mixed mortar?

cement:sand=346kg:1631kg. The following is a related introduction to mixed mortar: 1. Introduction: Mixed mortar refers to a mixture of sand, cement, and lime in a certain proportion, generally used for masonry above ground level. The mixture of sand and cement is called "cement mortar"; the mixture of sand and lime (paste) is called "lime mortar". 2. Advantages: Due to the addition of lime paste, mixed mortar improves the workability of the mortar, making it more convenient to operate and beneficial for increasing the density and efficiency of the masonry. The uses of cement mortar in construction projects include foundation and wall masonry, serving as an adhesive for block masonry materials, such as laying rubble or red bricks with cement mortar.

What does the S gear in Civic mean?

The S gear in Civic, namely the Sport mode, can be switched to when overtaking or pursuing sporty driving. At this time, the car's power output is more sufficient, and the acceleration will be faster. The L gear is the Low gear, which can be used when going uphill or downhill. The lower gear provides more power when going uphill and can assist in braking when going downhill. Some cars may not have the M gear, which stands for Manual mode. When switching to this gear, it is equivalent to driving a manual transmission, requiring the driver to shift gears up or down manually, providing a more engaging driving experience for those who enjoy manual transmissions. Below is an introduction to automatic transmission: 1. Automatic transmissions have four basic gears, namely P gear, R gear, N gear, and D gear. P gear is the Parking gear, R gear is the Reverse gear, N gear is the Neutral gear, and D gear is the Drive gear. These gears represent the most basic functions of a car: moving forward, reversing, parking, and neutral. Like manual transmissions, these are the basic gears that enable the car to move and park. 2. When engaging the P gear, ensure the car has come to a complete stop and will not move forward or backward further. N gear means Neutral. At this time, although the car's engine is still running, the transmission basically stops working, and there is no power output. It can be used for brief stops.

What Causes a Sudden Increase in Idle Speed During Cold Start?

Cold start idle speed suddenly increasing is a normal phenomenon. To allow the engine to reach its optimal operating temperature as quickly as possible, the engine idle speed is increased based on signals from sensors like the coolant temperature sensor during a cold start. After the engine warms up, the engine speed will gradually decrease to around 800 to 1000 RPM. The normal idle speed for a cold start is generally between 700 to 800 RPM. If the idle speed is too low, the engine may vibrate easily, and if it's too high, fuel consumption will increase. The idle speed of a car refers to an operating condition where the engine runs without load, known as idling, meaning the car is in neutral gear. The engine speed during idling is called the idle speed, which can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size, among other methods.

Does adding more engine oil have any impact?

Adding more engine oil does have an impact, as it can reduce the engine's output power. The following are specific hazards of excessive engine oil: 1. Reduced engine lifespan: When the oil level is too high, the oil becomes diluted, leading to a decrease in viscosity. This results in insufficient lubrication and cooling capabilities, causing cylinder scuffing, bearing wear, and affecting normal engine operation. In severe cases, it can shorten the engine's lifespan. 2. Increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber: When the oil level exceeds the upper limit on the dipstick, some oil may enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion, leading to oil burning. This can cause the catalytic converter to fail, rapid damage to the oxygen sensor, increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, unstable idle, poor acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and excessive exhaust emissions.
