Antifreeze should be added to the antifreeze reservoir under the hood. The common method is: open the filling port and then open the drain valve, then add antifreeze. Once new antifreeze starts flowing out of the drain valve, tighten it. Start the engine when the antifreeze reservoir reaches the marked level, and the antifreeze level will gradually drop. Keep adding until it stabilizes. The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could crack the radiator or damage the engine block or cylinder head. Many people think antifreeze is only used in winter, but in fact, it should be used all year round.

How Soon Can a New Car Be Driven on the Highway?

It is best to drive a new car on the highway after the break-in period, during which the engine speed should be kept around 2,500 RPM. Here are some methods to extend the lifespan of your car: 1. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the stress on the chassis and engine. Avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. 2. Avoid overloading: If a new car is overloaded during the break-in period, it can cause damage to the components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers, the load should generally not exceed 75%-80% of the rated capacity.

Is Wheel Balancing Really Unnecessary After Rear Tire Puncture Repair?

Wheel balancing is required after rear tire puncture repair. The following situations necessitate wheel balancing: 1. After installing new tires (post-repair) or collision damage repairs; 2. Unilateral wear on front/rear tires; 3. Heavy steering wheel or floating/vibration during driving; 4. Vehicle pulling left/right when moving straight. Benefits of wheel balancing include: 1. Enhanced driving comfort; 2. Reduced fuel consumption; 3. Extended tire service life; 4. Improved straight-line stability; 5. Decreased wear on chassis suspension components; 6. Increased driving safety.

What is the GT-R?

Here is a detailed introduction to the Nissan GT-R: 1. Overview: The Nissan GT-R refers to a high-performance, high-reliability, high-power sports car produced by Nissan Motor. The GT-R model emerged after years of evolution and improvement in Nissan's Skyline sedan series, becoming the highest version of the series and adored by countless fans. 2. Powertrain: It is still equipped with the familiar 3.8L V6 twin-turbocharged engine. However, with this facelift, engineers have slightly increased the power output by adjusting the turbo boost value and the individually controlled ignition timing system for each cylinder. The maximum power has been increased from the original 397 kW (540 PS) to 408 kW (555 PS), with a peak torque of 632 N·m. The benefit of this adjustment is improved power performance at mid-range speeds, with official data indicating enhanced acceleration performance beyond 3200 rpm. It is still paired with a rear-mounted 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.

How often should the belt next to the car engine be replaced?

Car engine belts should be replaced approximately every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. The replacement cycle for engine belts varies among different vehicle models. Once exceeding 50,000 kilometers, regular inspections are recommended to promptly detect any abnormalities in the timing belt, primarily by listening for unusual sounds. Signs of wear or abnormalities often manifest as abnormal noises or unusual odors caused by wear. The timing belt is a crucial component of the engine and plays a key role in its normal operation. It is an essential part of the engine's valve system, connecting the crankshaft and camshaft to ensure the accurate timing of intake and exhaust through a specific transmission ratio. If the timing belt fails, the valves and ignition system will cease to function, and in severe cases, the cylinder head may also be damaged.
