When is the right time to replace spark plugs?

Under normal maintenance conditions, replacement is recommended after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's advisable to follow the user manual. Refer to the following standards for maintenance replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 km, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 km, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000-80,000 km. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the hood, lift the engine's plastic cover, remove the high-voltage distributor wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for external debris like leaves or dust and ensure thorough cleaning. Insert the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, then use the socket to tighten further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires according to the firing order, then snap the cover back into place.

How many kilometers does a brand-new car generally have when delivered?

It is generally normal for a brand-new car to have less than 30 kilometers on the odometer when delivered. Here are the details: 1. Actual situation of new car mileage: When a new car arrives at the 4S store, the odometer usually does not show 0 kilometers, but it is normal for it not to exceed 30 kilometers. Domestic new cars mostly have around 10 kilometers on the odometer. 2. Maximum limit of new car mileage: Adding the factory inspection mileage and transportation mileage together, strictly speaking, the total mileage of a domestic new car should not exceed 50km. For imported cars, considering factors such as overseas transportation, port handling, and customs clearance, consumers can still accept a mileage below 100km.

Should You Use Recirculation or Fresh Air Mode for Car AC in Summer?

In terms of cooling efficiency, it's better to use recirculation mode for car AC in summer. Here are details about recirculation and fresh air modes: 1. Working Principle: Recirculation mode means the air inside the car is heated or cooled and then recirculated within the cabin; Fresh air mode brings outside air into the car after heating or cooling, achieving air exchange between interior and exterior. 2. Usage Methods: When initially turning on AC or heater, first activate recirculation mode to quickly cool down or warm up the cabin. After temperature stabilizes, appropriately switch to fresh air mode for ventilation. Avoid fresh air mode when outside air quality is poor (e.g., heavy traffic with exhaust fumes or underground parking). On highways, never open windows - use fresh air mode instead. When feeling stuffy inside with good outdoor air quality, immediately switch to fresh air mode for ventilation.
