For the first free maintenance at a car 4S dealership, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) engine oil is typically used. In fact, OEM engine oil is produced by oil manufacturers according to the requirements of the car manufacturers. The first maintenance period for a new car is usually determined by either the mileage or the specified time interval, whichever comes first. Therefore, if the time interval is reached but the mileage is insufficient, the first maintenance should still be performed. Otherwise, the 4S dealership may claim that the standard has not been met, resulting in the information not being recorded in the nationwide warranty system, leading to the loss of warranty coverage. Precautions for the first car maintenance: In addition to changing the engine oil and oil filter, the first maintenance includes a comprehensive inspection and diagnosis of the vehicle's condition and usage. Typically, the first maintenance items are free of charge. If the technician recommends services not included in the first maintenance, the car owner should inquire whether there will be additional charges before deciding whether to proceed. As long as the new car undergoes its first maintenance at the 4S dealership within the specified period, it will still be eligible for the three-guarantee service even if subsequent maintenance is performed elsewhere. However, if the new car owner fails to have the first maintenance performed at the designated 4S dealership or the manufacturer's authorized service station within the specified mileage, any issues that arise with the car, even within the warranty period, may require the owner to pay certain repair costs.

Why is there no fee deduction displayed after passing through the highway with ETC?

The reason why there is no fee deduction displayed after passing through the highway with ETC is: the deduction is not in real-time, and most of the time it is delayed for a few days before being processed. ETC works through dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. It uses computer networking technology to perform backend settlement processing with the bank, achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay the fees. The reasons why ETC may not be detected include: 1. The electronic tag is not inserted correctly; 2. Unauthorized removal of the onboard electronic tag will render it unusable; 3. The vehicle's windshield has a metal explosion-proof film; 4. OBU transfer or replacement requires visiting a service center.

Why Does the Engine Speed Increase Automatically in Neutral Gear?

There are two main reasons for a sudden increase in engine speed when the vehicle is in neutral: a faulty carbon canister solenoid valve causing the engine speed to rise suddenly in neutral, and a malfunctioning vacuum sensor in the braking system leading to the same issue. Here is a detailed analysis: 1. Cause of carbon canister solenoid valve failure: When the vehicle is shifted into neutral, the engine should return to idle speed, and the carbon canister solenoid valve should close. If the solenoid valve fails to close or does not seal properly, gasoline vapors from the carbon canister will continuously flow into the intake manifold and then enter the combustion chamber, causing a sudden increase in engine speed in neutral. 2. Cause of vacuum sensor failure in the braking system: If the vacuum sensor malfunctions, it cannot detect whether the vacuum level in the power assist system is sufficient. In this case, the engine will increase its speed to enhance the intake vacuum, thereby raising the vacuum level in the intake manifold.

How to Defog a Car on Rainy Days?

Methods to defog a car on rainy days include: 1. Turn on the window defogging mode; 2. Open windows for air convection to equalize the temperature inside and outside the car; 3. Spray defogging agent on the glass; 4. Turn on the car's warm or cold air blower to blow on the glass. Precautions for driving on rainy days are: 1. Maintain a sufficient safe distance; 2. Use lights correctly; 3. Avoid slamming the brakes, stepping hard on the accelerator, or turning the steering wheel abruptly. The reason for fogging on car glass is: The temperature inside the car is relatively high, and when the warm air inside meets the cold car glass, the moisture in the air condenses, causing a layer of mist to form on the glass. This mist obstructs the driver's view, making the road ahead appear blurry.
