If refueling is convenient in urban areas, you can wait until the fuel gauge light comes on. However, in areas where refueling is inconvenient, such as on highways or in remote regions, it's best to refuel when the fuel level drops to one-quarter. Precautions for car refueling: Gasoline Grade: There are several types of gasoline, each with different component ratios, leading to variations in performance. Therefore, always check the gasoline grade before refueling. Beware of Static Electricity: During winter, the dry climate can easily generate static electricity. It's crucial to guard against static electricity when refueling in winter to avoid potentially severe consequences.

Is it necessary to go to a 4S store for an oil change?

If the oil change is within the warranty period, it is necessary to go to a 4S store; if it is past the warranty period, it is not necessary to go to a 4S store for the oil change. The steps for an oil change are: 1. Choose the right oil: it is necessary to strictly follow the oil grade specified in the instruction manual; 2. Drain the oil and check; 3. Add the right amount of oil: do not add too much or too little; 4. Check again after the oil change: after adding the oil, you need to start the car and let the engine run for 3 to 5 minutes, then turn it off. Engine oil is the lubricant used by the engine, composed of base oil and additives, which can lubricate and reduce wear, assist in cooling, seal and prevent leakage, prevent rust and corrosion, and cushion shocks for the engine.

How to troubleshoot the continuously illuminated STOP light on a FAW truck?

Methods to troubleshoot the continuously illuminated STOP light on a FAW truck: Check whether the engine oil is insufficient, whether the brake fluid in the braking system is low, and whether the coolant in the engine is lacking. Address the issue based on the identified problem. When the STOP light is on, the vehicle should not be driven as the engine power will be severely insufficient, affecting the normal operation of the vehicle. Taking the FAW Jiefang New J6P heavy-duty truck (CA5310CCYP66K24L7T4E5) with 460 horsepower, 8X4, 9.5-meter cargo compartment as an example: It is a cargo truck with dimensions of 11.99 meters in length, 2.55 meters in width, and 4 meters in height. The cargo compartment is 9.5 meters long, equipped with a Xichai CA6DM2-46E52 engine, with a total vehicle weight of 14.62 tons and a rated load capacity of 16.25 tons.

Where is the CVT transmission of SAIC MG produced?

The CVT transmission of SAIC MG is jointly developed by SAIC and General Motors. SAIC General Motors Co., Ltd., established on June 12, 1997, is a joint venture between SAIC Motor Corporation and General Motors Company. It has four major production bases in Pudong Jinqiao, Yantai Dongyue, Shenyang Beisheng, and Wuhan, with a total of four vehicle production plants and two powertrain plants, making it one of the key enterprises in China's automotive industry. The CVT transmission of SAIC MG does not have specific gears. In operation, it is similar to an automatic transmission, but the ratio changes continuously, unlike the step-by-step shifting process of an automatic transmission, ensuring smooth and continuous power delivery. For the daily use of SAIC MG's transmission, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for too long. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for extended periods. While many experienced drivers coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so with an automatic transmission can cause overheating and create shocks when shifting back to D mode. Never shift into D/R mode before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Many drivers shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving to demonstrate smooth operation, but this can severely damage the transmission gears and lead to grinding or other failures over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D mode. Automatic transmission vehicles may overheat under high loads or shift too early, resulting in insufficient power for climbing. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to move the vehicle onto the tow platform while in N mode, rather than towing it directly with a rope or another vehicle.

How to Deal with Mice in the Engine Compartment and What Methods Are Effective?

Methods to handle mice in the engine compartment: 1. Use a damp cloth that does not drip to wipe all accessible areas in the compartment, and place a bag of mothballs on the engine cover; 2. After driving the mice away, use a car protective net to cover the chassis to prevent mice from re-entering the compartment. Measures to prevent mice from entering the engine compartment include: 1. Do not park the vehicle in areas prone to mouse infestation; 2. Regularly check if the sealing parts of the chassis are missing or damaged; 3. Maintain the cleanliness of the vehicle and promptly dispose of food waste; 4. Inspect whether the filter mesh covers of the external air conditioning vents are missing or damaged; 5.
