Explorer uses 5W30 fully synthetic engine oil, recommended to be replaced approximately every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is referred to as the 'blood of the engine.' It serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing against leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. The Explorer is a model under the Ford brand, positioned as a mid-to-large SUV with dimensions of 5064mm in length, 2005mm in width, and 1798mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2860mm. This vehicle is equipped with either a 2.3-liter turbocharged engine or a 3.5-liter turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

What to Do When the Car Rolls Back After Stalling on a Slope?

The solutions for preventing the car from rolling back after stalling on a slope are: 1. Apply throttle when starting on a slope; 2. Control the clutch properly; 3. After stopping, engage the handbrake and shift to neutral. Driving without releasing the handbrake can lead to the following situations: 1. The brake system indicator light on the dashboard remains lit; 2. Weak acceleration; 3. Smoke from the rear wheels and the brake discs turning red; 4. Increased fuel consumption; 5. Accelerated wear of the brake pads. The handbrake is used to stabilize the vehicle after stopping, preventing accidents caused by rolling on inclined surfaces. Also known as the auxiliary brake, the handbrake operates differently from the main brake system. It uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force. Prolonged use of the handbrake can cause plastic deformation of the steel cable, which is irreversible. Over time, this reduces its effectiveness and increases the handbrake's travel distance.
