After changing the brake fluid, the air inside generally will not be expelled automatically. However, if the brake fluid replacement is not performed skillfully, it is advisable to bleed the air out. Otherwise, trapped air may affect the braking performance during operation. Brake fluid performance: Brake fluid, also known as hydraulic brake fluid or mineral oil brake fluid, possesses properties such as oxidation stability, anti-foaming characteristics, rubber swelling resistance, and rust prevention. Brake fluid replacement: The replacement interval depends on the vehicle's braking usage during driving and the condition of the braking system. Since brake fluid is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture), prolonged failure to replace it will reduce driving safety. For vehicles with frequent usage, brake fluid should be replaced approximately every 30,000 kilometers. For less frequently used vehicles, the replacement interval can be extended accordingly, typically between 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers.

Can a Flooded Car Still Start?

Car flooded can not start. Cars are equipped with various electronic components and sensors. If water enters the vehicle, attempting to start it can cause damage. Upon discovering that a car is flooded, the first step should be to contact the insurance company and a 4S dealership. Below are specific details about water-damaged vehicles: 1. Water-immersed car: If the water level exceeds the car's chassis, it is called a water-immersed car. 2. Semi-submerged car: If the water level exceeds the oil dipstick, it can be referred to as a semi-submerged car. 3. Fully submerged car: If the water level has surpassed the engine hood or the dashboard surface, then it is called a fully submerged car. Such a car may be considered for scrapping, as the success rate of repairs is not high.

What Happens When the Exhaust Pipe is Blocked?

If the exhaust pipe is completely blocked, the car will not start at all. If the exhaust pipe is partially blocked, the following symptoms may occur: 1. The car will have difficulty accelerating, and both engine speed and vehicle speed will be hard to increase. This is because poor exhaust flow reduces the intake air volume, leading to a drop in engine power. 2. Frequent forced downshifting in automatic transmission vehicles. Due to the exhaust blockage causing a decrease in engine power, the driver must press the accelerator pedal harder to achieve more power output. This results in a wide-open throttle, prompting the ECU to control the automatic transmission to force a downshift based on the throttle opening state.

What is the reason for the dripping sound from the chassis after parking?

The reasons for the dripping sound from the chassis after parking: 1. If it occurs after running the air conditioning for a while, this is a normal phenomenon. It happens because water vapor inside the cabin condenses on the evaporator to form water droplets, which are then discharged outside the vehicle through the drain pan and drain pipe. 2. Check if the coolant in the radiator is low. If it is, promptly visit a 4S shop to inspect the cooling system for faults. Water dripping from the muffler and exhaust pipe at the rear of the car is also normal, especially common in winter. When gasoline is injected into the cylinder and mixed with air, it burns completely in the combustion chamber, mainly producing carbon dioxide and water. The water is discharged into the atmosphere as gaseous steam at high temperatures.

Here are the specific details: Replace the oil filter: It is advisable to change the oil and oil filter before driving on the highway to avoid any abnormalities during the process. The purpose of driving a new car on the highway is mainly to allow the engine to operate in a better environment. The duration of highway driving doesn't need to be too long; generally, 10-20 minutes is sufficient. Driving on the highway before the first maintenance: It is best to drive on the highway after the car's first maintenance. The first maintenance of a new car primarily involves checking the vehicle's operational condition, ensuring the torque of various screws and addressing any potential issues with fluid levels, making driving more reliable. It is recommended to drive on the highway only after the first maintenance.
