Ford Escort is suitable for 5W-30 semi-synthetic engine oil. Below is a detailed introduction on replacing the Ford Escort's oil filter: 1. Start by removing the engine cover (just remove the four clips). 2. If possible, operate on a lift or use an electric oil pump to extract the oil. Pull out the dipstick from its socket, insert the oil extraction machine's tube into the dipstick socket, ensuring the tube reaches the bottom. 3. The extraction process takes about 20 minutes; collect the old oil in a waste container. 4. After extracting the old oil, use a socket and wrench to remove the oil filter, clean the contact area with a cloth, and then install the new oil filter. 5. After adding the new oil, check the oil level using the dipstick. For the first check, wipe the dipstick clean with a tissue, reinsert it to its original position, then pull it out again to check. The dipstick has upper and lower limit marks; the oil level should be between these two marks for normal operation.

Is It Dangerous to Charge an Electric Vehicle in the Sun?

Charging an electric vehicle in the sun is dangerous and can cause significant harm to the battery. Specific risks include: Charging the battery immediately after exposure to the sun or in a high-temperature environment with poor heat dissipation can shorten the battery's lifespan. After prolonged sun exposure, the battery's terminals are prone to acid creep and irreversible sulfation, which may lead to battery swelling during charging. High temperatures from summer sun exposure or an excessively hot charging environment can also cause deformation of the battery casing. The charging process generates temperatures above 40°C, and sun exposure can disrupt the charger's thermal regulation, resulting in incomplete charging and failure to indicate a full charge (e.g., not turning green). The safest charging location for electric vehicles: Electric vehicles should be charged at designated "EV charging stations" for optimal safety. Most residential areas now have centralized EV charging stations equipped with fire safety measures and a segregated charging approach (separating vehicles from people), significantly reducing potential hazards. These centralized stations also feature timed charging, automatic power cutoff, fault alerts, overload protection, short-circuit protection, and leakage protection, providing enhanced safety for both users and property.

How to Adjust Rearview Mirror Position?

Adjusting the rearview mirror position involves the following steps: 1. Left side mirror: Position the horizon line at the center of the mirror, then adjust the car body edge to occupy one-fourth of the mirror's image. 2. Right side mirror: Place the horizon line at two-thirds of the mirror height, then adjust the car body edge to occupy one-fourth of the mirror's image. 3. Center mirror: Adjust the left-right position so that the left edge of the mirror just shows the driver's right ear in the reflection.
