Manual transmission will not be phased out. Here are the advantages of manual transmission: 1. Control of manual transmission: The control and driving experience of manual transmission are very strong. Automatic transmission cars have no control to speak of. While they are convenient, they lack the fun of manual transmission control. Additionally, manual transmission cars have better adaptability. On some complex roads, manual transmission performs better. Even in traffic jams or emergencies, manual transmission outperforms automatic transmission, which is why manual transmission continues to dominate the car market. 2. Lower cost of manual transmission cars: Manual transmission technology is relatively mature, with both the transmission and engine being more stable and mature, resulting in lower costs. Lower costs naturally lead to lower prices. For the same configuration, manual transmission cars are definitely cheaper than automatic transmission cars.

Can a car be used without baking after painting?

It is possible for a car to dry naturally after painting without baking, but it takes more than 3 days in good weather to be usable. Characteristics of manual baking paint: Traditional car baking paint is semi-mechanized by hand. Firstly, the work efficiency is not high, the workflow of manual baking paint is complex, the technical level of personnel is required to be high, the consumption is large, the quality of baking paint is difficult to guarantee, and accidents occur frequently. Painting process: When painting, the external air is filtered by the primary filter screen and then sent to the roof by the fan, and then enters the room after secondary filtration and purification by the top filter screen. The working principle of baking paint is different: Baking paint is an industrial paint, which is divided into water-based metallic paint and oil-based metallic paint. Water-based metallic paint is an environmentally friendly coating with water as the solvent, and oil-based metallic paint is with organic solvent as the solvent. The method is to grind the material a little rough and spray some paint.

What is the difference between non-standard oil and national standard oil?

The differences between non-standard oil and national standard oil are as follows: Density: The density range of national standard diesel is 0.810~0.855, varying with different models. Non-standard diesel certainly cannot meet such standards. Compared with regular diesel, apart from not meeting the standards, there is also the issue of price. Since it is non-standard, the price is significantly lower, and the combustion state is also different. Non-standard oil refers to blended oil that is not produced by regular refineries and fails to meet the national standards for clean gasoline and diesel. Its sources mainly include some individual gas stations that directly blend it with chemical raw materials such as naphtha, aromatics, and MTBE. Hazards: Non-standard diesel causes knocking in diesel vehicles, leading to severe mechanical wear, as well as difficulties in cold starts, increased fuel consumption, and black smoke emissions. It also generates deposits and gum, clogging car filters, forming a large amount of carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, causing piston sticking and increased wear.

Can a spare tire be used temporarily for a few days?

Generally, a spare tire should not be used for more than three days on the road. For non-full-size spare tires, the total mileage should not exceed 50 kilometers. Definition of a spare tire: A spare tire is an extra tire prepared for a car. In case of a flat tire or any issue with a wheel, the spare tire can be promptly used as a replacement to prevent the car from breaking down midway. Types of spare tires: Full-size spare tire. A full-size spare tire has the exact same specifications as the other four tires on the car and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. Non-full-size spare tire. This type of spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, making it suitable only for temporary use. It should only be used on non-driving wheels, and the maximum speed should not exceed 80 km/h. Run-flat tire. Also known as a safety tire (run-flat tire), commonly referred to as a "bulletproof tire," it is directly translated in the industry as a "tire that can run without air."
