Forklift hydraulic oil should use No. 46 hydraulic oil in temperate regions and No. 68 hydraulic oil in subtropical regions. Hydraulic oil is the hydraulic medium used in hydraulic systems that utilize liquid pressure energy, playing roles such as energy transmission, anti-wear hydraulic oil, system lubrication, corrosion prevention, rust prevention, and cooling in hydraulic systems. For hydraulic oil, it must first meet the requirements of the hydraulic equipment for liquid viscosity at both operating and starting temperatures. Since the viscosity changes of lubricating oil are directly related to hydraulic action, transmission efficiency, and transmission accuracy, the oil's viscosity-temperature performance and shear stability must also meet various requirements proposed for different applications.

This depends on the forklift model and working conditions. Most domestic internal combustion forklifts use anti-wear hydraulic oil, with ISO VG46 being quite common. For high summer temperatures, I'd recommend thicker VG68, while switching to VG32 in winter for better fluidity at low temperatures. The key is checking for the AW (anti-wear) symbol and oxidation/rust prevention indicators on the oil drum. Never cheap out with agricultural hydraulic oil - forklift valves have precision components that can get damaged by wrong oil. Last time our mechanic mixed oils, it caused pump noise and we found worn vanes upon disassembly. Remember to fully drain old oil during changes, as mixing affects performance.

Can car owners change the color of their own vehicles?

Car owners can change the color of their vehicles, but if the color change exceeds 30% of the body, they must file a record with the vehicle management department. Within ten days after the color change, the owner needs to bring the Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Record Application Form, the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's identity proof, the original vehicle registration certificate, the original vehicle license, etc. to the vehicle management office to complete the modification registration. The process of applying for a color change is not complicated. You can first change the color of the vehicle, then make an appointment with the vehicle management office in advance, and drive to the office at the agreed time to complete the procedure. A more secure method is to consult the vehicle management office before changing the color to confirm whether the selected color is allowed for modification. After receiving a positive response, proceed with the color change and then schedule an appointment to complete the modification registration process.

Where to Find the Tire Size Label?

Tire size labels are uniformly located on the tire sidewall. Taking the tire specification 195/65R15 as an example, 195 indicates the tire width is 195mm, 65 represents the tire's section height as 65% of the width, R denotes a radial tire, and 15 signifies the wheel rim diameter is 15 inches. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery, typically installed on metal rims to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road, and ensure driving performance. Tires often operate under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and temperature extremes during use, thus requiring high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning capabilities.

What does it mean when a car displays 'check coolant'?

When a car displays 'check coolant', it is usually due to insufficient coolant level, which requires adding more. You should check if the antifreeze is adequate. The full name of coolant should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze functionality. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine block during cold weather when the car is parked. However, it's important to correct a common misconception: antifreeze is not just for winter use; it should be used year-round. In regular car maintenance, the engine antifreeze should be replaced every year. Functions of coolant: Winter antifreeze protection - After parking in winter, coolant can freeze and cause the radiator or engine block to crack. Therefore, the freezing point of the coolant should be about 10 degrees Celsius lower than the lowest temperature in the region to prepare for sudden weather changes.
