If the first maintenance of a Buick exceeds three months, you need to negotiate with the 4S dealership. Some 4S dealerships may not provide free first maintenance if the service time is exceeded, while others may still offer free first maintenance even if the service time is exceeded. Introduction to the vehicle's first maintenance is as follows: 1. There are two indicators for the first maintenance of a new car: time and mileage, whichever comes first. Exceeding either of these indicators may affect the car's warranty. Many car manufacturers explicitly state that the first maintenance of a new car is provided free of charge by the 4S dealership, and exceeding the first maintenance date is considered as voluntarily forfeiting the right to the first maintenance. 2. The reason why a new car requires first maintenance is because there is a break-in period for the new car. During the break-in period, the car may experience some wear and tear. In addition to changing the engine oil and oil filter during the first maintenance, a comprehensive inspection of the car will be conducted to check all its functions and ensure they are operating normally.

I recently encountered a similar situation. I bought a new Buick but forgot to do the first maintenance, which was overdue by three months, and I was a bit nervous. Immediately, I called the Buick 4S store service hotline, and the customer service representative asked me to bring the purchase invoice and relevant documents to the store for negotiation. It turns out that the free first maintenance is usually only valid for the first three months or 5,000 kilometers. After the deadline, I might have to pay out of pocket, but the cost is not high, just a few hundred yuan. The maintenance technician checked the car and found no major problems, and also reminded me to do maintenance on time in the future to maintain the three-year warranty rights and avoid engine carbon deposits or transmission failures. After this lesson, I set a reminder on my phone calendar and never dare to delay again, saving money and peace of mind. After all, the car is a means of transportation, and maintaining it well makes driving safer on the road.

How often should the spark plugs be replaced on a Buick Excelle?

Buick Excelle's spark plugs should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. Spark plugs utilize high-voltage discharge to break down the air between electrodes, generating an electric spark to ignite the combustible air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, thereby maintaining engine operation. When removing or installing spark plugs, care must be taken to prevent dust from entering the cylinder. The surrounding area should be cleaned thoroughly before removing the spark plugs. The Buick Excelle is a compact car under SAIC-GM Buick, with dimensions of 4609mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1486mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2640mm. The vehicle is equipped with safety features such as SBZA Side Blind Zone Alert, TPMS Intelligent Tire Pressure Monitoring System, rear parking sensors, Bosch ESP9.1 Electronic Stability Control System, laser-brazed integrated roof, and auto-dimming rearview mirror.

Is a Heavier Car More Stable at High Speeds?

The heavier the car body, the better the stability at high speeds. Factors affecting the stability of a car at high speeds also include: 1. Vehicle tires: Tires are the only components in contact with the ground. Generally, wider and flatter tires provide better stability at high speeds. 2. Vehicle shape: The shape of the vehicle also affects its high-speed stability. Vehicles that are more aerodynamically designed tend to be more stable at high speeds. 3. Drive configuration: Most vehicle drive configurations include front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive vehicles are more stable than front or rear-wheel drive vehicles. 4. Suspension system: Generally, vehicles with independent suspension systems are more stable than those with non-independent suspension systems. Independent suspensions include MacPherson strut independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension, among others.

What is the reason for the unresponsive Audi center control screen?

It is due to a damaged display screen. Relevant introduction about the car's center control: 1. Door lock system: The car's center control includes the central control door lock system.

Can I switch from 95 octane gasoline to 92 octane gasoline?

It is not recommended to switch from 95 octane gasoline to 92 octane gasoline. Suddenly switching to 92 octane gasoline may affect the vehicle's power output and increase the risk of engine malfunctions. If the engine is equipped with a turbocharger, it is essential to use gasoline with an octane rating of 95 or higher. Naturally aspirated engines can use gasoline with an octane rating of 92 or above. The octane number of gasoline represents its octane rating. For example, 92 octane gasoline consists of approximately 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane. Since isooctane has better anti-knock properties while n-heptane has poorer anti-knock properties, a higher octane number indicates a higher octane rating, meaning the gasoline has better anti-knock performance.
