For the Great Wall C30, the coolant is added through the opening closest to the car emblem after lifting the hood. Below are specific details about the Great Wall C30: 1. Model Introduction: The Great Wall C30 is a very balanced model with average exterior and interior design, giving a reliable homey feeling. Later, a CVT version was launched, improving fuel economy, which is highly valued in family cars. 2. Fuel Consumption Introduction: The C30 generally has low fuel consumption, averaging between 7-8L per 100 kilometers. Specifically, the Great Wall C30 1.5L manual version consumes between 5.90-8.59L/km, while the Great Wall C30 1.5L CVT continuously variable transmission consumes between 7.10-9.26L/km.

I've been driving a Great Wall C30 for over a decade, and the coolant reservoir is located under the hood. When you pop the front hood, you'll immediately spot the transparent plastic tank on the left side - that's the expansion tank, marked with MIN and MAX level indicators. Never top up coolant when the engine is hot. I learned this the hard way when steam shot out and nearly scalded me right after parking. Always wait at least half an hour for the engine to cool completely. Once located, unscrew the cap and check the level - if it's below the MIN line, add some coolant. I recommend using ethylene glycol-based coolant. Never use plain water, or you risk frozen pipes cracking in winter (been there, done that). Why fill there? Because this tank connects directly to the cooling system, storing liquid for easy monitoring and replenishment. Check it every six months normally, but if it keeps running dry, you'll need to find the leak. Remembering its location and these precautions can significantly extend your engine's lifespan.

As an ordinary user, this is how I add coolant to my Great Wall C30. Open the hood, the reservoir is usually located near the front of the car, a white or green plastic container marked with the coolant icon. First, make sure the engine is cold—touch it to confirm it's not hot before opening the cap. After opening, check the fluid level; if it's below the MIN line, top it up with the correct brand of coolant to near the MAX line. My habit is to check it every quarter to ensure there are no leaks or scaling. A tip from experience: Last time, I found the reservoir cap was loose—just tightening it solved the issue, and using a wrench made it easier. A related suggestion: Checking before driving can save fuel, as low coolant levels can cause the engine to overheat and fail. The whole process is simple, and doing it yourself saves money and gives peace of mind.

As a Great Wall owner, to add coolant, you need to locate the expansion tank, usually in the right area under the hood. Open the front cover to identify the tank, which has MIN/MAX level indicators. The engine must be cool when adding coolant—I recommend waiting overnight to prevent burns. If the level is low, fill it to the midpoint, avoiding overflow. Remember to use the specified coolant type and mix properly; consult the manual for brand recommendations. Regular maintenance can prevent overheating issues and ensure smoother driving.

Is driving a pickup truck at 120 km/h on the highway considered speeding?

Driving a pickup truck at 120 km/h on the highway is considered speeding. The speed limit for pickup trucks on highways should not exceed 100 km/h; because pickup trucks fall under the category of light-duty trucks, their speed limits are calculated based on non-passenger vehicle standards, with a maximum speed not exceeding 100 km/h. Otherwise, penalties will be imposed. Below is additional information: 1. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the maximum speed for small passenger vehicles on highways should not exceed 120 km/h, while other motor vehicles should not exceed 100 km/h, and motorcycles should not exceed 80 km/h. 2. Drive according to the speed limit signs on both sides of the road: Pickup trucks on the highway cannot always maintain 100 km/h; they must also adhere to the speed limit signs posted on the road. Some hazardous sections have a speed limit of 60 km/h, while certain special sections may have a limit of 80 km/h. In summary, if the current road section has a lower speed limit than the standard limit for the vehicle type, the lower speed limit must be followed to avoid speeding.

Does Using the Wrong Color of Antifreeze Matter?

Using the wrong color of antifreeze can have consequences. Different colors of antifreeze may vary in chemical properties and composition. Even if the primary ingredients are the same, the secondary components and formulation ratios can differ. Mixing different types may lead to chemical reactions, causing sedimentation, scaling, and corrosion, which can negatively impact the engine's lifespan. How to choose antifreeze: The key indicators for antifreeze are its freezing and boiling points. Market-available antifreeze comes in specifications like -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, and -40°C freezing points. Generally, it's advisable to select one that is at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. How to check if antifreeze is low: Observe the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it likely indicates low antifreeze levels, though it could also be due to excessively high cylinder temperatures. Inspect the antifreeze reservoir. If the level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving; promptly add more antifreeze. Check the water level markings on the antifreeze tank. The normal antifreeze level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. If it's below the minimum, it means the antifreeze is low.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is 66 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Mercedes-Benz C-Class can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is 95 octane, with a fuel consumption of 7.5-9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 733-880km. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow from the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
