When the steering wheel suddenly becomes hard to turn on rainy days, it is generally caused by a lack of oil in the power steering pump, impurities in the power steering fluid, or a malfunction in the power steering system. It is recommended to have the vehicle inspected and repaired at a 4S shop to diagnose and resolve the issue. Below is an introduction to the automotive power steering system: 1. Classification: Automotive power steering systems are generally divided into two types: mechanical power steering systems and electro-hydraulic power steering systems. 2. Function: The main purpose of the automotive power steering system is to make it easier for the driver to operate the steering wheel when turning. The biggest difference between electro-hydraulic power steering systems and mechanical systems lies in the driving method of the oil pressure pump. The electro-hydraulic system uses an electrically driven electronic pump, while the mechanical system operates in a traditional manner.

Is it necessary to change the transmission fluid during the first maintenance?

It is not necessary to change the transmission fluid during the first maintenance. Transmission fluid is an oil product used to maintain system cleanliness, ensuring the proper functioning of the transmission and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. Transmission fluids are categorized into automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and manual transmission fluid. ATF serves as the hydraulic fluid for the torque converter, the lubricant for the planetary gear set, and the hydraulic oil for the shift mechanism. Under normal driving conditions, ATF should be replaced every 120,000 kilometers, while under severe driving conditions, it should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers. Methods to identify genuine transmission fluid include: 1. Smell the oil: Genuine fluid has a burnt odor; 2. Observe the bubbles: Genuine fluid produces very few bubbles when shaken.
