For a car's 15,000-kilometer maintenance, the following items are required: 1. Replace the engine oil and oil filter; if the engine speed is unstable at idle or during startup, a throttle cleaning can be added. Typically, the air filter should be replaced every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers, and the fuel filter every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. 2. Air filter: The engine inhales a large amount of air during operation. If the air is not filtered, the dust in it can accelerate the wear of the piston group and cylinder. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can also cause severe "cylinder scoring." The function of the air filter is to remove dust and particles from the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinder. 3. Fuel filter: The fuel filter provides clean fuel to the engine, filtering out water and impurities from the gasoline. This optimizes engine performance and provides the best protection for the engine.

What to Do When the Windshield Fogs Up After Tinting?

Solutions for Windshield Fogging: 1. Turn on the Cold Air: When the windshield fogs up, the quickest and most convenient method is to direct the air conditioning vents toward the windshield, activate the cooling function, and turn on the external circulation. Setting the fan to maximum speed can clear the fog on the glass in just a few seconds. 2. Turn on the Hot Air: If you want to completely eliminate fog inside the car using the air conditioning, turn on the external circulation, select the hot air function, and direct it toward the windshield. After five minutes, switch to internal circulation. This method is particularly effective during rainy or snowy weather and addresses the root cause. It uses warm air to dry the water molecules on the windshield, circulating them outside the car to prevent condensation into droplets. However, this method is not suitable while driving, as the initial fogging can be severe and requires a longer preparation time. 3. Anti-Fog Spray and Dish Soap: Anti-fog spray is a very popular solution nowadays, with a variety of types available. Simply spray it on the glass surface and wipe it clean with a dry towel to prevent fogging. This is a type of surfactant that forms a protective film on the glass, altering the surface tension of water molecules, causing fog droplets to merge into larger droplets that do not obstruct vision.

Are Cars Only Sold at 4S Stores?

Not only 4S stores sell cars, there are also other car dealerships. A 4S store typically only sells vehicles from one manufacturer (not just one brand), integrating car sales, after-sales service, parts, and information services into one dealership. The related introduction of 4S stores is as follows: Introduction to 4S Stores: A 4S store, fully known as Automobile Sales Service 4S Store (Automobile-Sales-Servicshop4S), is a car sales enterprise that integrates four functions: vehicle sales (Sale), spare parts (Sparepart), after-sales service (Service), and information feedback (Survey). Generally, it only sells vehicles from one manufacturer. Advantages of 4S Stores: Since most 4S stores deal with car brands that have good brand effects, strong competitiveness, and relatively large market shares, brand advantage is their main competitive edge, which is unmatched by other car sales models. At a 4S store, consumers can access all value-added services regarding car information, market trends, after-sales service, maintenance instructions, parts supply, etc. Whether it's a complete vehicle or parts, they are guaranteed to be original factory products, relieving consumers of concerns about after-sales service, repairs, and maintenance.

What are the symptoms of a bad crankshaft pulley?

Crankshaft pulley damage has a significant impact on the vehicle. The car's power performance will be very poor, and the engine may produce unusual sounds when idling or accelerating. Below is a detailed introduction to the crankshaft pulley: 1. The car pulley is mainly installed on the car engine crankshaft to drive the camshaft, water pump, generator, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, and other components. 2. The function of the pulley: It drives the water pump, generator, and air conditioning compressor to work. The water pump ensures the normal water circulation of the engine for cooling purposes. The generator charges the battery to ensure the normal operation of various electrical circuits in the car. The air conditioning pump, also known as the compressor, is used in the air conditioning system. 3. Advantages of pulley drive: The pulley drive can mitigate load impacts; it operates smoothly with low noise and vibration. The structure of the pulley drive is simple and easy to adjust. The manufacturing and installation precision of the pulley drive is not as strict as that of meshing drives. The pulley drive has an overload protection function. The center distance between the two shafts in the pulley drive can be adjusted over a wide range.

Do You Use Turn Signals When Driving on Curves?

Turn signals are not used when driving on curves. When starting the vehicle, use the left turn signal. For hill start and stop, begin using the right turn signal when starting from a designated point. After stopping at a designated point and starting again, use the left turn signal. For parallel parking, use the turn signal: only the right turn signal when reversing, and the left turn signal along with the horn when exiting the parking space. Use the left turn signal for right-angle turns. Below are details about turn signals: Function of Turn Signals: Turn signals are controlled by electronic devices but still simulate the sound of a relay with audio cues. They are activated when a motor vehicle turns to alert the driver that the turn signal is flashing and to notify vehicles in front, behind, and to the sides, as well as pedestrians, serving as an important indicator. Types of Turn Signals: They can mainly be divided into three types: resistance wire type, capacitor type, and electronic type. The resistance wire type can be further divided into thermal wire type (electric heating type) and vane type (spring type), while the electronic type can be divided into hybrid type (with contact-type relays and electronic components) and fully electronic type (without relays).
