Closed gears use liquid gear oil, or fluid gear grease such as Metlube MG200; open gears can use GL8, as well as semi-fluid heavy-duty gear oil CSC3600. Introduction to Gear Oil: Gear oil mainly refers to the lubricating oil for transmissions and rear axles. It differs from engine oil in terms of usage conditions, composition, and performance characteristics. Gear oil primarily functions to lubricate gears and bearings, prevent wear and rust, and assist in heat dissipation for gears. Functions of Gear Oil: Automotive gear oil is used in gear transmission mechanisms such as steering gears, transmissions, and drive axles. Due to the high surface pressure during gear transmission, gear oil plays a crucial role in lubricating gears, preventing wear, cooling, heat dissipation, corrosion and rust prevention, cleaning, and reducing gear surface impact and noise.

What Are the Reasons for Difficult Gear Shifting?

Difficult gear shifting can be caused by several factors, including stiffness in new cars, insufficient transmission oil, cold weather making shifting harder, and deformation of the clutch pressure plate transmission disc. The details are as follows: Stiffness in New Cars: New cars often have difficulty shifting gears because some gear components are still stiff and need to be broken in. Once the transmission components of the new car have been properly run-in, the issue will resolve itself. Insufficient Transmission Oil: Transmission oil needs to be replaced regularly. If the transmission components lack sufficient oil, gear shifting will become stiff. Transmission oil functions similarly to engine oil, lubricating the gear components. Cold Weather Making Shifting Harder: In winter, shifting gears in a cold car is generally stiffer. Due to the cold weather, the transmission oil does not provide adequate lubrication when the car is cold. Therefore, experiencing some jerkiness when shifting gears in a cold car is normal. Deformation of the Clutch Pressure Plate Transmission Disc: If the transmission disc of the clutch pressure plate assembly becomes deformed due to certain factors, the solution is to replace it with a high-quality original equipment manufacturer (OEM) clutch pressure plate.

Where to Buy a Car?

Here are the specific details about where to buy a car: 1. Purchase at a 4S store: 4S stores are authorized to sell cars. A 4S store is an officially authorized dealer of a car brand manufacturer, typically selling only one brand of vehicles. They offer a wide range of services, including car sales, repairs, parts, maintenance, and even test drive appointments. 2. Purchase at an auto trade store: Auto trade stores are not limited by brand and can sell any brand of vehicles. However, auto trade stores are not authorized and can only handle three services: selling cars, arranging insurance, and processing car loans.

Does a B2 Driver's License Require Annual Review?

B2 driver's license does not require annual review if no points are deducted. Here is the relevant introduction about whether a B2 driver's license requires annual review: Points deducted: Annual review is required. For friends with a B2 driver's license, if points are deducted within each scoring cycle, then within 30 days after the end of the current scoring cycle, they need to go to the vehicle management office for an annual review of the driver's license. If no points are deducted within a scoring cycle, then no annual review is required. If this can be maintained, there will be no need for annual review until the driver's license expires and needs to be renewed. Age over 60: Those over 60 years old need an annual review every year and must submit a health certificate. Normally, for the annual review of a B2 driver's license, the driver does not need to undergo a physical examination or submit physical examination materials, but they need to fill out a form to declare their physical condition. However, if the age reaches 60 or older, a hospital physical examination and health certificate are required.

What Causes Abnormal Engine Noise During Acceleration?

Abnormal engine noise during acceleration is caused by irregular engine speed conditions during operation. Below are the specific reasons for abnormal engine noise: 1. Noise occurs only at idle or low-speed operation: Excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder wall; Over-tight piston pin assembly or connecting rod bearing assembly; Excessive clearance between the tappet and its guide hole; Wear on the camshaft profile; Sometimes, a loose starter clutch causes pulley noise (noticeable during speed changes). 2. Noise becomes chaotic at a certain speed, with brief sounds emitted during rapid deceleration: Cracked camshaft timing gear or loose fixing nut; Broken crankshaft; Loose piston pin bushing; Excessive axial clearance of the camshaft or loose bushing. 3. Noise appears during rapid engine acceleration and persists at high-speed operation: Loose connecting rod bearings, melted or incorrectly sized bearing shells causing rotation; Loose crankshaft bearings or melted bearing shells; Broken piston pin; Broken crankshaft.

What is the actual 0-100km/h acceleration time of the Ford Focus?

According to official data, the Ford Focus with a 1.5T engine has a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 9-11 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The 2021 Ford Focus Sedan 1.5L Manual Fengyue model has a maximum torque of 153 Nm and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 11.2 seconds; the 2021 Ford Focus Hatchback EcoBoost180 Automatic ST-Line has a maximum torque of 243 Nm and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a medium for power delivery and inevitably involves power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to better acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Ford Focus offers three types of transmissions: 6-speed manual, 8-speed manual-automatic, and 8-speed automatic. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. The 2021 Ford Focus Sedan 1.5L Manual Fengyue model has a power-to-weight ratio of approximately 98Hp/T and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 11.2 seconds; the 2021 Ford Focus Sedan EcoBoost180 Automatic Fengchao model has a power-to-weight ratio of approximately 126Hp/T and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds.
