New cars should be maintained every 3 months or every 5,000±500 kilometers, whichever comes first. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. New car maintenance generally involves six major inspection parts: 1. Change the engine oil, and it is necessary to clean the three filters, namely the oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter; 2. Check whether the coolant level of the car is in a normal state; 3. Check the position of the brake and clutch fluid levels; 4. Check whether the power steering fluid level is normal and whether there is any oil leakage at the oil pipe interfaces; 5. Check the aging and tension of the generator, air conditioner, water pump, and belts; 6. Check the tire pressure and wear condition, inflate the tires, or perform tire rotation if there is wear.

What are the methods to remove film without damaging the heating wires?

The following are methods to remove film without damaging the heating wires: 1. Use a hard card: Use your fingernail or a hard card like a bank card to lift one corner of the car film. If that doesn't work, use a utility knife. 2. Avoid violent operation: Do not operate roughly during the process; simply spray water to moisten it beforehand. Additional information: The functions of car film are as follows: 1. Prevent glass from shattering: Generally, car film adds a layer of strong and flexible protection to the glass, so even if the glass breaks due to an accident, the film will still provide protection. This prevents glass fragments from flying around, adding an extra layer of safety. 2. Ensure safety: It not only enhances the safety of the car but also protects personal safety. However, the quality of car films on the market varies, so it's important to recognize quality and purchase carefully. When selecting a car film, be sure to invest in the windshield film.

Will refueling after the nozzle automatically stops have any impact on the car?

Refueling after the nozzle automatically stops will not have a significant impact on the car. After the nozzle stops, wait a few seconds to allow the fuel vapor in the tank to slowly escape, slightly reducing the pressure. At this point, you can add a little more fuel to the tank. The reasons for the nozzle stopping during refueling and precautions are as follows: Reasons for the nozzle stopping during refueling: Vapor generation during refueling: When refueling, if the fuel flows too quickly from the nozzle, it can generate expanding vapor that doesn't have time to escape. If the carbon canister solenoid valve is closed at this time, the carbon canister will accumulate more and more gas, leading to fuel splashing, even though the car's fuel tank is not yet full. Precautions during refueling: Insert the nozzle as deeply as possible into the tank opening to prevent fuel from splashing out when the nozzle stops.

Why was the GL825S discontinued?

Buick GL825S was discontinued due to poor safety performance. Below are the specific details about the Buick GL825S: 1. In the IIHS safety tests in the United States, the American version of the GL8 received unsafe ratings in both the offset crash and whiplash tests, leading to its ban in the U.S. In the C-IASI crash tests, the Buick GL8 achieved only average scores in the 25% frontal offset crash and side impact tests, with very noticeable deformation in both the A and B pillars, further proving the vehicle's poor safety performance. 2. The Buick GL8 has a body length, width, and height of 5256/1878/1776mm, with a wheelbase of 3088mm. 3. The Buick GL8 is equipped with a 2.0T engine paired with a 9AT transmission, delivering a maximum power of 191kW and a maximum torque of 350Nm. The 0-100km/h acceleration time, as tested, is 8.76 seconds. The GL8 uses General Motors' 9AT transmission.

How often should the transmission fluid be changed for the Magotan B8?

The transmission fluid for the Magotan B8 is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately 40,000 kilometers. The Magotan B8 is equipped with a 7-speed wet DQ380 transmission, with a maximum torque of 420 Nm. The replacement intervals for transmission fluid vary across different vehicle models. Replacement intervals for different transmissions: Manual transmission fluid is typically recommended to be changed every three years or approximately 100,000 kilometers; automatic transmission fluid is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately 40,000 kilometers; continuously variable transmission (CVT) fluid is usually recommended to be changed every two years or approximately 60,000 kilometers. Functions of transmission fluid: Reduces friction and wear, controls clutch friction and synchronizer performance; bears loads (low-speed high torque, vibration loads), dissipates heat, reduces vibration and noise, and cleans contaminants at gear meshing points (cleaning function); prevents corrosion, pitting, and surface metal tearing, isolates metal surfaces, and prevents direct contact between metal surfaces.
