Here are the precautions to take after changing brake fluid: 1. Avoid air contamination in brake fluid: The most critical issue when changing brake fluid is preventing air from entering the system. If air gets mixed in, all efforts will be wasted. Do not skip the necessary steps for safety—bleed the system again until no air remains. 2. Tighten the drain bolts to prevent leaks: Loose drain bolts at the brake calipers are often due to carelessness. If the bolts are not tightened properly, brake fluid leakage can have serious consequences. Failing to notice this while driving can pose a significant hazard. Therefore, after changing the brake fluid, it is best to check if all bolts are securely tightened. Additionally, brake fluid is highly corrosive and can damage other parts of the car.

What type of gasoline should be used for an engine with a compression ratio of 8.5 to 9.5?

For an engine with a compression ratio of 8.5 to 9.5, use 92-octane gasoline. Fuel filling amount: Generally, filling until the pump automatically stops is sufficient. There's no need to round up to a whole number and manually add more. After filling, remember to tighten the fuel cap until you hear a click before leaving. Checking the fuel gauge: Before driving, check the fuel gauge. Calculate whether you need to refuel during your trip based on the distance and the fuel gauge reading. It's advisable to refuel in advance rather than waiting for the fuel light to come on. The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank and operates at high temperatures when continuously working. Being submerged in fuel helps cool it effectively. When the fuel light comes on, it indicates that the fuel level is below the pump. Consistently waiting for the light to come on before refueling can shorten the fuel pump's lifespan. Having too little fuel in the tank may even cause the fuel pump to burn out. Best time to refuel: It's better to refuel in the morning or evening, avoiding the midday when the sun is strong and temperatures are high. Since gasoline is charged by volume rather than weight, it expands when hot and contracts when cold. Refueling in the morning or evening allows you to get more mass for the same volume of gasoline, saving you money.

What is the yielding order when driving on the road?

The yielding order when driving is that turning vehicles should yield to straight-going vehicles and pedestrians; right-turning vehicles should yield to left-turning vehicles. Pre-departure check: Before setting off each day, conduct a comprehensive vehicle inspection, including checking for oil or water leaks, measuring tire pressure to ensure it's appropriate, inspecting the engine oil condition to verify its color is normal and the oil level is correct. Safe driving: Use seat belts properly - their protective effect during a severe collision is no less than that of airbags. Avoid fatigued driving and take a break every 2 hours. Traffic rule compliance: Especially on highways, do not speed. Speeding may not only result in traffic police penalties but, more importantly, is unsafe.

Will the engine stall if I press the accelerator during a hill start?

Pressing the accelerator during a hill start may cause the engine to stall. It is possible to perform a hill start without using the accelerator. Hill parking position: Before parking, carefully observe the intended parking spot, turn on the indicator, slowly approach the parking space (avoid excessive speed), and monitor the surroundings to prevent collisions with pedestrians or other vehicles. Hill parking gradient: If parking on a steep slope, after exiting the vehicle, place a sufficiently large stone or brick behind the wheels (when facing uphill) or in front of the wheels (when facing downhill) to prevent rolling.

Should You Use a Steering Wheel Cover?

Generally, it is not recommended to use a steering wheel cover as it can cause irreversible damage to a genuine leather steering wheel. Based on the material of the steering wheel: If the vehicle's steering wheel is made of hard plastic, it is necessary to install a steering wheel cover. If the steering wheel is made of soft rubber, a cover is optional. Based on driving conditions: When turning the vehicle, especially on unpaved roads or construction site surfaces, it is necessary to install a steering wheel cover. This is because when driving on uneven or curved roads, the steering wheel may generate a certain reverse force due to the road's irregularities. A steering wheel cover can increase the friction between your hands and the wheel, improving control over the vehicle's direction. Based on vehicle usage frequency and personal characteristics: If the vehicle is used frequently, installing a steering wheel cover is advisable to protect the wheel from wear and tear. Additionally, if your hands tend to sweat easily, a cotton steering wheel cover can help absorb sweat, preventing your hands from slipping during turns and enhancing grip and steering precision.

Is it permissible to directly discharge exhaust from a China V diesel engine?

It is permissible to directly discharge exhaust from a China V diesel engine. Engine Introduction: An engine is a machine capable of converting various forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, and more. Engine Working Principle: The majority of automotive engines operate on a four-stroke cycle. The working cycle of a four-stroke gasoline engine consists of four piston strokes: intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke, and exhaust stroke. The working principles of two-stroke engines differ from those of four-stroke engines.
