Mobil ATF 220 is suitable for use in AT transmissions, but there are some special AT transmissions that cannot use this transmission fluid. Cars' automatic transmissions all have transmission fluid inside, which needs to be replaced regularly. If not replaced for a long time, it may cause damage to the automatic transmission. Function: Transmission fluid plays the roles of power transmission, lubrication, and heat dissipation in automatic transmissions. Without transmission fluid, the automatic transmission cannot operate normally. Note: It is recommended to choose original equipment manufacturer (OEM) products when replacing transmission fluid. OEM products have been tested by car manufacturers, and OEM transmission fluid can meet the needs of the transmission under various working conditions. When replacing transmission fluid, it is recommended to use the circulating machine method for replacement.

As an experienced car owner who often helps neighbors with car repairs, I've changed transmission fluid quite a few times. Mobil ATF 220 is primarily designed for older hydraulic transmissions, such as Honda's BAYA/MPYA series automatic transmissions from the 1990s (like the old Accord), and Mitsubishi's early F4A22 transmission series. I've been using it in my 2002 Sonata. However, this fluid only meets the outdated DEXRON-II standard, so never use it in newer transmissions! Many modern cars require SP-III or higher-grade fluids, and using the wrong type can cause shifting issues. If you're looking to buy it, be aware that it's now marketed as Mobil ATF 220 Gold, but it's essentially the same old formula.

With eight years of experience in an auto repair shop, I've handled maintenance for hundreds of transmissions. Mobil ATF220 was commonly used in pre-2005 Japanese and Korean vehicles: Honda's D-series engines paired with automatic transmissions, such as the Civic ED and City; older Hyundai Accent/Elantra models with 4-speed automatic transmissions; and some Mitsubishi Pajero V4A51 transmissions. Special attention is needed as this oil is mineral-based and must not be mixed with CVT or dual-clutch transmissions! Last time, a customer mistakenly added it to a new Teana, resulting in complete transmission failure. Nowadays, most vehicles require full synthetic oils like ATF660.

What are the differences between driving a front-wheel drive and a rear-wheel drive car?

There are specific differences between driving a front-wheel drive (FWD) and a rear-wheel drive (RWD) car as follows: 1. FWD cars are fuel-efficient and economical, but they tend to understeer and are not suitable for aggressive maneuvers. In daily driving, FWD cars are more comfortable and stable. 2. RWD cars offer better handling flexibility and higher torque. Due to their drivetrain layout and cost considerations, RWD cars generally have a more balanced weight distribution compared to FWD cars, resulting in stronger power output. The advantages of FWD and RWD are as follows: 1. FWD: Good handling, better acceleration performance, and easier maintenance. 2. RWD: Lower manufacturing cost, higher efficiency, reduced weight, and increased interior space.

Are New Energy Vehicles Mandatorily Scrapped After 8 Years?

For new energy vehicles, the scrapping standards are entirely based on the existing standards for fuel-powered vehicles, with no separate scrapping criteria. As long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection, there is no issue, and it can continue to be used. Otherwise, it must be scrapped. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Passenger Cars: Under the new regulations for passenger car scrapping, the existing standard for private cars is a mileage of approximately 600,000 kilometers. When this mileage is reached, the state guides the vehicle to be scrapped. 2. Whole Vehicle: In terms of whole vehicle scrapping, new energy vehicles follow the same standard as fuel-powered vehicles, being scrapped at around 600,000 kilometers. 3. Battery: According to the battery recycling management measures, batteries are considered scrapped after about 5 to 8 years.

What causes the noise from car window glass while driving?

Solutions for noise from car window glass while driving: 1. Loose door screws or lifting bracket, simply tighten the loose door glass. When driving on bumpy roads, the car window glass may make noise, which is usually caused by loose fastening screws inside the window glass or the lifting bracket. 2. Aging window glass sealing strip, replace it directly. Aging door glass sealing strips are often one of the reasons for window noise. If it's a new car making noise, simply purchase lubricant and apply it evenly on the sealing strip. 3. Debris in the window glass guide rail, the solution is to use tools to clean the debris in the guide rail. The gap in the sealing strip of the car slot can easily bring in dust and particles during the glass lifting process, which may cause vibration and noise from the window glass. If dust and particles accumulate more and more, it may damage the lifting motor.

What does PVM panoramic monitoring system mean?

PVM panoramic monitoring is similar to a vehicle's all-around view system, which allows the driver to view the car's position from a top-down perspective. It helps the driver see a wider field of vision when driving at low speeds. The following precautions should be noted when using panoramic monitoring: 1. Do not rely entirely on the panoramic view monitoring system; always drive with caution. 2. Before using the panoramic view monitoring system, visually inspect the surroundings of the vehicle to form a general judgment. 3. When using the panoramic view monitoring system, do not just look at the screen; use the vehicle's rearview mirrors to observe the surroundings. 4. Avoid using the system under adverse conditions such as slopes, curves, or during rain or snow. 5. Changes in tire size may affect the accuracy of the panoramic monitoring guide lines.

What does the red key symbol on the dashboard indicate?

When a red key symbol appears on the car dashboard, the possible reasons are as follows: 1. The smart key battery is dead, and the car cannot detect the smart key. 2. The smart key is not inside the vehicle or is too far from the sensing point to be detected. 3. There is interference in the surrounding environment, such as near high-voltage power lines, transformers, or mobile communication signal towers. The functions of the car smart key are as follows: 1. When the key approaches the car body, the doors automatically unlock, and the anti-theft alarm is deactivated, with the turn signals flashing twice. 2. When the key moves away from the car body, the doors automatically lock, and the anti-theft alarm is activated, with the turn signals flashing once and the horn sounding briefly. 3. The effective detection range for the main door is at least 1.5 meters, while other doors are effective when the key is near them.

How to Choose a Car Windshield?

Car windshield selection is as follows: 1. Choose a reputable manufacturer: Car glass on the market is divided into original factory glass and aftermarket glass. The quality of aftermarket glass is not guaranteed. When purchasing, consumers should first choose a formal channel and a reputable manufacturer with 3C certification. Cheap and inferior glass can endanger driving safety. 2. Check the trademark: The logo on a qualified product is difficult to scrape off with a blade, while counterfeit products can be easily scraped off. Qualified glass has smooth edges when broken, whereas inferior glass is very sharp. Qualified car glass has a smooth surface without unevenness, and the logo on qualified car glass is hard to scrape off. 3. Examine the glass fragments: High-quality glass fragments placed on the ground cannot be crushed by stepping on them, while inferior glass can be easily crushed by stepping on it, causing significant harm to individuals. Unqualified car glass is more likely to be fatal upon impact.
