For a car with over 20,000 kilometers, the general maintenance items include: changing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin air filter, and spark plugs. Routine inspections involve checking the coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid, as well as inspecting and tightening all bolts on the chassis and examining the electrical circuit operation. The benefits of car maintenance are: 1. Keeping the car clean, maintaining normal technical conditions, eliminating potential hazards, preventing faults, slowing down the deterioration process, and extending the service life; 2. Conducting regular preventive work on relevant parts of the car, including inspection, cleaning, replenishment, lubrication, adjustment, or replacement of certain components; 3. Maintenance work essentially involves cleaning, tightening, inspecting, and replenishing.

Can You Make a Left Turn on the Auxiliary Lane?

You can make a left turn on the auxiliary lane when there is no prohibition sign, but you must not hinder the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. Precautions for merging from the auxiliary lane to the main lane: When changing lanes to enter the main lane, the driver needs to turn on the turn signal in advance to alert passing vehicles, pay attention to the traffic conditions behind the main lane, and observe the traffic situation behind when merging from the auxiliary lane to the main lane. Only merge slowly when ensuring there are no vehicles behind. Blind spots generally exist in rearview mirrors. During daily driving, you can check through the interior rearview mirror or by turning your head directly to ensure the safety of lane changes and avoid abnormalities during the process that may cause traffic accidents. When merging into the main lane, do not turn the steering wheel too much, leaving some buffer space for the following vehicles: During lane changes, control the steering wheel's turning range to avoid large steering movements, which can reduce comfort. Since vehicles on the main lane move faster, excessive steering may cause the following vehicle to react too late, leading to traffic accidents.

Can You Still Drive If the Antifreeze Boils Over?

It is recommended to pull over if the antifreeze boils over. Here are the specific details: Insufficient Coolant: The main function of coolant is to lower the engine temperature. If the coolant level is too low, it will cause the engine to overheat. The reasons for low coolant levels, aside from depletion, include leaks. After the vehicle overheats, you should check if there is a leak in the antifreeze. When adding antifreeze, it is advisable to use the same brand and not to add water. Water Pump Failure: The car engine's cylinder block has a complete water circulation system. A water pump is installed at the upper outlet of the engine, which functions to pump out hot water and pump in cold water through the pulley to cool the engine. If the water pump fails, the engine's water circulation system will not work properly. If the car overheats, the water pump should be thoroughly inspected at the repair shop. If the water pump is faulty, it is usually due to a damaged impeller, which can be replaced.

Is it better to buy a car with a loan or pay in full?

It is better to pay in full when buying a car. Here are the details: 1. The cost of buying a car. The cost of buying a car includes the body price, purchase tax, license plate fee, and insurance fees, etc. If you pay in full, you must prepare the cash in advance; if you choose to buy with a loan, there will also be handling fees and interest, etc. The interest depends on the loan amount and duration. 2. Buying a car with a loan. The cost of buying a car with a loan is higher than paying in full, and you must make monthly repayments as required. If you fail to repay on time, you will be blacklisted in the credit system. When choosing how to buy a car, paying in full can save you a lot of money. At the same time, buying a car with a loan involves more complicated procedures, requires approval, and the loan disbursement also takes some time.

What type of fuel does the BMW X5 use?

BMW X5 uses 98-octane gasoline. Here is some additional information about engine oil: 1. Types: Engine oil is divided into three types: full synthetic oil, semi-synthetic oil, and mineral oil. 2. Oil specifications: The packaging of engine oil will display specifications such as 5w30, 0w20, or 5w40. The "w" stands for "winter," indicating that the oil can be used in winter conditions. 3. Consequences of insufficient oil: When the engine oil is insufficient, it leads to poor lubrication of the internal engine components. Inadequate lubrication increases friction and wear on the parts. Additionally, engine oil plays a crucial role in cooling and heat dissipation. Insufficient oil reduces the engine's cooling capacity, causing internal overheating, which can result in issues such as bearing corrosion and cylinder scoring.

What does the VIN on a car mean?

Vehicle Identification Number, abbreviated as VIN, is detailed as follows: 1. Composition of VIN. The VIN consists of 17 characters (including English letters and numbers), commonly known as the 17-digit code. It is a unique set of characters assigned by the manufacturer to identify a vehicle. The generation of this number follows specific rules, corresponding uniquely to each vehicle and ensuring no duplication worldwide within 50 years. Hence, it is often referred to as the car's ID. 2. Regulations on VIN. Governments and automobile companies have specific regulations for the 17-digit identification code of vehicles produced in their country or by their company. Technical regulations generally stipulate only the basic requirements for the Vehicle Identification Number, such as it should consist of 17 characters, with specified dimensions, writing format, arrangement, and installation position for letters and numbers. Except for mandatory definitions of certain symbols, other meanings are left to the manufacturers' discretion. The VIN often contains information about the vehicle's manufacturer, production year, model, body type, engine, and other equipment.

How to Shift Gears When Parking?

Parking gear shifting methods are as follows: 1. Manual transmission: When parking, press the brake pedal. As the vehicle speed decreases to nearly stopping, press the clutch pedal, then firmly press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Shift to neutral, engage the handbrake, and turn off the engine. If parked on a slope, shift into first gear after turning off the engine to prevent rolling backward. 2. For manual transmission parking, you may choose neutral gear on flat ground; however, you must shift into first gear when parking on a slope. Although parking in first gear might increase accident risks because many drivers forget to shift from first gear to neutral when starting the car, potentially causing collisions. While first gear speed is slow, close-distance parking could still result in minor scrapes. Therefore, when parking in first gear, always remember to press the clutch pedal first when starting, shift from first gear to neutral, and then change to the starting gear after the engine starts.
