The transmission fluid in a car should be replaced every two years or every 40,000 kilometers, with the specific interval depending on the vehicle model. The hazards of not replacing transmission fluid in time: 1. Deterioration of transmission: Prolonged operation under high-speed and high-temperature conditions can cause the transmission to deteriorate. A deteriorated transmission will accelerate the wear of mechanical components, and severe deterioration may even damage internal transmission parts. 2. Weak vehicle acceleration: If the transmission fluid is not replaced for a long time, the vehicle may experience weak acceleration when starting, along with slight slipping during driving. 3. Increased transmission wear rate: If the transmission fluid is not replaced for an extended period, it will become thicker, obstructing the transmission cooler. This obstruction leads to rising transmission temperatures, which in turn accelerates the wear rate.

How to Use Toyota Windshield Wipers?

The wiper switch for most models on sale is located on the right-hand stalk behind the steering wheel, and the style is generally stalk-type.

How to Deal with Speeding Violation Between 10% and 20% Over the Speed Limit?

Exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20% will result in a fine and 3 demerit points. Hazards of speeding: 1. Increased vehicle wear. High-speed operation intensifies the working intensity and load on the vehicle, accelerating the wear and tear of components. This is particularly detrimental to the wheels, causing not only jumpy and skidding wear but also raising friction temperatures, which can easily lead to tire aging and deformation, potentially causing blowout accidents. 2. Reduced reaction capability. At high speeds, the driver's focus tends to fixate further ahead, narrowing the field of vision. Objects outside the window pass by in a flash, while it takes about 0.4 seconds for a person to sense a target within their vision and an average of 1 second to clearly identify it. In the event of sudden danger, there may not be enough time to judge the situation and take emergency measures. Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10%: For speeding violations where the speed exceeds the limit by less than 10%, only a warning will be issued without any demerit points.

How to Adjust Loose Brakes?

To tighten, press and hold the rear brake, then loosen the screw on the rear brake caliper. After 1 or 2 seconds, tighten the screw. If the disc brake is too loose, it may be caused by mismatched brake pads. Dirty brake fluid in the disc brake lower pump can also lead to excessively loose brakes, in which case the lower pump needs to be cleaned. Generally, loose brakes can be due to deteriorated oil, air in the system, impurities, insufficient oil, damaged pipes, or unsealed oil pump plungers.
