What Should You Pay Attention to When Driving a New Car?

Here are the things to pay attention to when driving a new car: 1. First maintenance: The first maintenance of a new car is very important. It should be done within three months or 3,000 kilometers. Missing the first maintenance deadline is equivalent to giving up the warranty rights, so it's best to complete the first maintenance and register the warranty information within three months. 2. Warm up before starting: Unlike carburetor engines, fuel injection systems in electronic fuel injection engines cannot function properly until they reach the working temperature. Before the water temperature rises, it's advisable to control the speed appropriately and drive normally only after the water temperature stabilizes. 3. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking is most harmful to a new car. Since the car hasn't been broken in yet, emergency braking increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. The best practice during the break-in period is to disengage the clutch before braking.

The work done by the engine per unit time is called the engine's power. Corresponding to indicated work and effective work, it is called indicated power and effective power (output power), respectively. The difference between these two is called mechanical loss power. (2) Horsepower was proposed by James Watt and is a commonly used unit of power in engineering. It generally refers to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. 2. Different physical meanings. (1) Power: A physical quantity that represents how fast an object does work. (2) Horsepower: It is defined that 1 metric horsepower is the work done to lift 75 kilograms-force·meters in 1 second. 3. Conversion relationships. (1) 1 kilowatt (kW) = 1.3410221 imperial horsepower (hp). (2) 1 kilowatt (kW) = 1.3596216 metric horsepower (ps). (3) 1 imperial horsepower (hp) = 1.0138697 metric horsepower (ps). 4.

How much transmission oil should be added for Mercedes-Benz C200L?

For the Mercedes-Benz C200L, the transmission oil requires 7L for manual replacement and 10L for machine replacement. The replacement interval is 60,000 kilometers. The methods for replacing the transmission oil in the Mercedes-Benz C200L are as follows: 1. Gravity replacement. Use tools to loosen the nut, and the transmission oil will automatically flow out under gravity. However, it cannot be completely drained. Not all transmission oil can be discharged due to mechanical structures with dead corners such as depressions and pits. 2. Circulation machine replacement. Store the new transmission oil inside the circulation machine, connect the transmission and the circulation machine through pipeline interfaces, and the new oil will push out the old oil under the action of the circulation machine. This method cleans the oil circuit more thoroughly. The more new transmission oil used in the circulation machine cleaning, the cleaner the old oil will be discharged. For circulation machine replacement, approximately 10-15L of oil is used each time. This method takes about 1 hour. 3. Oil pan removal for oil replacement. This method is a root cleaning method and can also clean the oil filter. It is better to use the circulation oil replacement method for changing transmission oil, as it is cleaner. Gravity oil drainage can only replace part of the oil, so circulation oil replacement is more beneficial for the transmission.
