Engine oil can be tested for authenticity at testing institutions. The following are specific methods to distinguish between genuine and fake car engine oil: 1. Check the packaging: Genuine engine oil usually has neat packaging, while fake engine oil often has rough packaging with blurry fonts. Genuine engine oil also has a sealing tin foil at the oil opening, marked with the manufacturer's special logo. 2. Examine the appearance of the oil: Genuine oil is light in color, transparent, free of impurities, suspended particles, or sediments, and flows well when shaken. The color of genuine oil is much darker than that of fake oil. 3. Smell and feel: Genuine oil has a mild smell, while fake oil has a strong and irritating odor. Under the same viscosity grade, genuine oil feels less sticky, whereas fake oil feels more viscous and may exhibit a stringy texture when touched. 4. Price of the oil: The price of genuine engine oil usually does not vary significantly, so oil with a price that is drastically different from others may be fake.

Where is the Landwind X7 electronic parking brake (EPB) module located?

Landwind X7's electronic parking brake replaces the traditional handbrake with an electronic button. Additional information is as follows: 1. When parking, press the switch downward; to release, pull it upward. There will be an indicator below the car's speedometer—it lights up when the parking brake is engaged and turns off when released. 2. When parking, first step on the brake to come to a complete stop, then press the P button with your finger. The indicator light will show that the rear wheels are successfully braked. 3. It is also very intelligent to use. 4. When parking, simply pull the button upward to engage the parking brake. 5. When you need to drive, stepping on the accelerator will automatically release the electronic parking brake. 6. Some models may require pressing the button to unlock it.

What needs to be replaced in a 50,000-kilometer car maintenance?

A 50,000-kilometer service is considered a major maintenance. During this service, the following items need to be replaced: engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, and belts. Additionally, the chassis, brake pads, brake discs, and tires should be inspected. The specific maintenance tasks are as follows: Replace the car's engine oil, filters, and brake fluid: Manufacturers recommend changing the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers or six months. When replacing the engine oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. Brake fluid has hygroscopic properties, and if not replaced for a long time, it can corrode the braking system, posing a hazard to driving. Inspect and replace the car's brake pads and spark plugs: During inspection, note that new brake pads are typically about 1.5 cm thick. If the brake pads wear down to approximately 0.3 cm, they should be replaced promptly. If spark plugs have carbon deposits, black oil stains, etc., they should be cleaned. If the spark plugs appear damaged or significantly worn, they should be replaced immediately. Clean the throttle body and fuel injectors: Each time the vehicle undergoes cleaning, the fuel injectors, throttle body, and intake manifold must be cleaned together. This effectively removes deposits and carbon buildup from the fuel injectors, maintaining the cleanliness of the fuel system. Inspect and replace tires: The lifespan of tires is typically four to five years. Tires exposed to sunlight frequently will age. If there are many cracks on the tire sidewalls or the tread pattern reaches the minimum limit, consider replacing them. The benefits of maintenance include: Ensuring the vehicle remains in optimal performance condition; improving vehicle efficiency and reducing wear on parts and tires; enhancing driving safety; preventing vehicle issues that could lead to hazards; reducing noise and environmental pollution; keeping the vehicle's appearance clean and preventing damage. Maintenance precautions: Use car-specific cleaning agents and mild soap for washing. When cleaning polished metal parts, use carbon-based cleaners and avoid using hard tools to scrape off dirt. Wax regularly to prevent oxidation of the coating.

What are the reasons for the failure of keyless entry in cars?

Cars equipped with a keyless start system have sensors inside the vehicle that detect the presence of the key fob to enable engine start. However, when the key fob's battery is low, its transmission power decreases, making the vehicle less 'sensitive' and unable to start smoothly. 1. Car keyless entry system: This product utilizes the world's most advanced RFID radio frequency technology and the most sophisticated vehicle identity coding recognition system. It pioneers the development of compact, low-power RF antenna solutions and successfully integrates remote control systems with keyless systems, while maintaining traditional vehicle circuit protection. It truly achieves a dual RF system and dual anti-theft protection, providing maximum convenience and security for car owners. 2. Additional information: Each chip contains a fixed ID. The car can only start when the key chip's ID matches the engine's ID. If they do not match, the engine will not start.

What is the issue with severe car brake diving?

Due to inertia, the front of the car is heavier because it contains the engine. During emergency braking, the front of the car will dip. Below are related explanations: 1. Cause: When the vehicle brakes, the center of gravity shifts forward, causing the front suspension springs to compress. During this process, the springs bear the reverse stress transmitted from the ground friction to the car body. 2. Additional information: Solutions: Manual transmission: When the car is about to stop but hasn't completely stopped, shift to neutral and release the brake, allowing the car to come to a stop on its own while coasting. Automatic transmission: Shifting to neutral follows the same principle as manual transmission. By adjusting the depth of braking, find the critical point where braking force disappears and power has not yet been transmitted.
