I just completed the 15,000-kilometer maintenance for my beloved car and want to share some practical experience. The key tasks this time were changing the engine oil and oil filter, as the oil gets dirty after such mileage and affects performance. The air filter also needs inspection – replace it if clogged to improve fuel efficiency and save gas. Tire rotation is a must to prevent uneven wear and potential blowouts. A thorough brake system check, including discs, pads, and brake fluid, is essential for safety. Don’t forget lighting tests and battery voltage monitoring to ensure clear nighttime driving. I also replaced the cabin air filter this time – last time I skipped it and ended up with musty odors. Overall, regular maintenance keeps the car reliable. I do it every six months to avoid major repairs. I recommend checking your manual for specific requirements as they vary by vehicle.

Why does the brake make noise when not pressed but not when pressed?

The reasons why the brake makes noise when not pressed but not when pressed are as follows: 1. New pads installed on old rotors—old rotors usually have grooves, and the new pads may contact the upper and lower edges of the old rotor, causing noise. Solution: Chamfer the edges of the brake pads or resurface the rotor to resolve the issue. 2. New pads installed on new rotors—if the new rotor or new pad has excessive unevenness, poor bedding-in between the rotor and pad, or uneven wear on one side, it may cause noise. Solution: After using the brakes for some time, the rotor and pad will bed in properly. If the unevenness is severe, reinstallation may be required. 3. Poor retraction of the brake caliper, causing drag and premature volatilization of the organic material in the brake pads, leading to noise after some use. Solution: Inspect and maintain the caliper, check if the brake pads are intact, and replace them if they are burnt.

Can I Schedule the Third Driving Test If I Failed the Second One?

Can I Schedule the Third Driving Test If I Failed the Second One? Yes, you can schedule the third driving test after failing the second one. However, there are two prerequisites for scheduling the third test: 1. Training Hours: You must complete all the required training hours for the third test. 2. Mock Exam: You need to attend a two-hour mock exam for the third test at the driving school. More details are as follows: Notes: Since the driving school has timed surveillance cameras that capture images and the monitoring information is transmitted to the local traffic police's internet service platform, you can only schedule the third test after the website updates your training hours. Once both conditions are met, you can directly schedule the third test, which can save time because you have to wait 10 days after failing the second test before you can schedule it on the website.
