Here are the methods to address when Ford displays an engine oil change message: 1. This is a car maintenance reminder indicating the need for an oil change. Timely oil changes can significantly improve vehicle performance and fuel efficiency, as well as extend the car's lifespan. 2. Maintenance should be performed every six months or 10,000 kilometers, including an oil change. 3. If the 4S shop did not reset the oil change reminder during the oil change, you can resolve it yourself. Without starting the car, turn the key to the second position (for automatic transmission, press the start button once without stepping on the brake), then simultaneously press the brake and accelerator pedals. After restarting the car, the reminder will no longer appear.

How much oil must be left before it needs to be changed?

Oil must be changed when less than 10% remains. The method for changing the oil is as follows: 1. Lift the car, remove the protective plate, and place a container under the oil drain screw; 2. Unscrew the oil drain screw, use an air gun to blow for two minutes at the oil filler port, then tighten the oil drain screw after draining and wipe it with a tissue to check for leaks; 3. Reinstall the protective plate and lower the car, then add oil through the filler port. The functions of oil are: 1. To reduce friction and high temperatures; 2. To minimize gas leakage and prevent external contaminants; 3. To prevent contact between water, air, acidic harmful gases, and parts; 4. To cushion the pressure rise in the engine cylinder port; 5. To clean dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts.

What Causes Engine Oil to Turn Black?

Engine oil turns black due to: 1. Poor fuel quality; 2. Prolonged high-temperature operation of the engine under overload conditions; 3. Failure to replace the oil filter and air filter in a timely manner. Solutions to prevent engine oil from turning black include: 1. Using higher-quality fuel; 2. Avoiding prolonged high-temperature operation of the engine under overload conditions; 3. Replacing the oil filter and air filter promptly. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To separate the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear; 2. To carry heat back to the oil tank and dissipate it into the air, assisting the radiator in cooling the engine; 3. To circulate carbon deposits, sludge, and metal wear particles from engine parts back to the oil tank, flushing away contaminants generated on the working surfaces of parts through the flow of the lubricating oil.

How to drain the washer fluid in a Haval H2?

The method to drain the washer fluid in a Haval H2 is: 1. Start the vehicle and press the washer fluid button on the car to spray the washer fluid continuously until it is completely used up; 2. Open the car's hood, locate the cap of the washer fluid reservoir, open the cap, insert a hose into it, and use a syringe at the other end of the hose to start suction. When the extracted washer fluid overflows, remove the syringe and place the hose on the ground, and the remaining washer fluid will automatically drain out. Taking the 2018 Haval H2 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4365mm, width 1814mm, height 1710mm, wheelbase of 2560mm, and a body weight of 1450kg.

How many kilometers for the first maintenance of a newly purchased car?

The first maintenance for a newly purchased car is usually around 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers. The first maintenance items include: 1. Changing the engine oil and oil filter, and cleaning the air filter; 2. Checking whether the coolant level is within the normal range; 3. Inspecting the car's brakes and undercarriage components for any scratches; 4. Checking the condition of the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and belts for aging and tightness; 5. Checking the tire pressure and wear condition. New cars have a break-in period, and the usage methods during this period are: 1. Preheating the cold car—properly warming up the car allows the engine oil to lubricate the engine internals better, reducing wear; 2. Timely gear shifting while driving, especially for manual transmission cars—reasonable gear shifting during the break-in period is necessary to avoid high gear at low RPM or low gear at high RPM; 3. Timely maintenance is required for new cars during the break-in period.

Is the Ford Focus equipped with a dry or wet dual-clutch transmission?

Ford Focus is equipped with a dry dual-clutch transmission. The functions of the dry dual-clutch are: 1. Gradually increase the driving force of the car to ensure a smooth start; 2. Temporarily separate the engine and transmission for gear shifting; 3. Prevent overload of the transmission system; 4. Reduce torsional vibration impact from the engine and extend the service life of transmission gears. Taking the 2020 Ford Focus as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4378mm, width 1810mm, height 1468mm, wheelbase of 2705mm, fuel tank capacity of 53 liters, and curb weight of 1242kg.
