Here are the items that need to be replaced in a car during winter: 1. Coolant: Modern coolants are designed for year-round use. However, if the coolant has been replaced, it's important to ensure it meets the winter temperature requirements of the driver's local area. If it doesn't, replace it as soon as possible to avoid damage to the radiator and engine. 2. Engine oil: Choose engine oil suitable for winter. The viscosity of the oil is a key factor, as different oils have different viscosities and are suited to different environments. Using the wrong oil can increase component wear and fuel consumption. 3. Tires: The phenomenon of thermal expansion and contraction also affects tires, making them more brittle and reducing their friction coefficient. Therefore, it's advisable to use winter or snow tires in harsh weather conditions. 4. Brake pads: If the thickness of the brake pads is insufficient, they should be replaced immediately. Winter conditions, such as icy roads, can pose safety hazards, making effective braking crucial.

What is the Function of a Fuel Filter?

The function of a fuel filter is to remove solid impurities such as iron oxide and dust contained in the fuel, preventing blockages in the fuel system (especially the fuel injectors), thereby reducing mechanical wear, ensuring stable engine operation, and improving reliability. The following is an introduction to fuel filters: 1. Fuel filters are categorized into diesel filters, gasoline filters, and natural gas filters. 2. The replacement interval for a fuel filter should be determined based on its structure, performance, and intended use. Most automobile manufacturers recommend a normal maintenance replacement interval of 48,000 kilometers, while a conservative maintenance replacement interval is recommended at 19,200 to 24,000 kilometers.

Can 5 meters accommodate two lanes?

Two vehicles running side by side require a width of over 6 meters to open dual lanes, while 5 meters is too narrow to accommodate two car bodies. Below is an introduction about lanes: 1. Lane: A lane, also known as a traffic lane or carriageway, is a designated path for vehicles to travel on. They are set up on both general roads and highways, with highways having legal regulations for lane usage, such as travel lanes and overtaking lanes. 2. Lane classification: Highways have designated travel lanes and overtaking lanes. According to Taiwan's traffic regulations, travel lanes are for small vehicles traveling at speeds exceeding 80 km/h or at maximum speed, while overtaking lanes are for vehicles moving slowly at speeds below 80 km/h.

Where is the antifreeze generally added?

Antifreeze is generally added to the car's radiator, also known as the cooling radiator, which is a key component of the vehicle's cooling system. The radiator's function is to dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator to release the heat, and then returns to the water jacket to circulate, achieving temperature regulation. It is an integral part of the car engine. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine block or cylinder head. Many car owners believe that antifreeze is only used in winter, but in fact, antifreeze should be used throughout the year.
