What is the method of raising the car with bricks for DIY oil change?

The method of raising the car with bricks for DIY oil change is not very reliable. It's more common to use the curb to raise one side of the vehicle. There are generally two conditions for oil change: 1. Time: every six months or a year. 2. Mileage: when the specified mileage is reached. Oil should be changed as long as one of these conditions is met. If you change the oil without replacing the oil filter, the new oil will not be contaminated. If the oil filter is very dirty, its ability to filter dirt will decrease. Even if the new oil is not contaminated, it will shorten the cycle of the oil becoming dirty. However, if the oil filter is not dirty, there is basically no impact. The condition for replacing the oil filter is mileage, which is almost unrelated to time.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2019 Lamando 280 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the 2019 Lamando 280 is 50 liters, as officially announced. Owners of the 2019 Lamando 280 can also verify this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 2019 Lamando 280 requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 5.5L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 909 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level is accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. In actual refueling situations, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified fuel tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This extra space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity.
