How would you deal with your electric vehicle battery?

 How would you deal with your electric vehicle battery? 



Would you be able to limit battery debasement in electric vehicles? 


Battery debasement is a characteristic cycle and over the long haul any battery will lose a few "juice". 


In any case, it's much more critical to keep up with the battery in an electric vehicle since something will be utilized for quite a while by you or somebody after you. We additionally need to guarantee most extreme reach and execution from our electric vehicles while we're utilizing them. 


Likewise, numerous electric vehicle batteries proceed to have a "second life" when their helpfulness in controlling four wheels has melted away. These batteries are regularly utilized for energy stockpiling, which means one lithium-particle battery initially intended for an EV could be utilized for quite a long time. 


Clearly, we need to boost the existence of the battery as it benefits us yet in addition limits the effect on the climate. 


Luckily, there are things you can do to expand the existence of your vehicle's battery. Here is a couple of tips to assist with keeping an electric vehicle battery. 


Tips to keep an electric vehicle battery 


Limit quick charging 


Fast charging is incredible when you really want a charge rapidly, especially in the event that you're just halting between gatherings maybe or you're on a lengthy drive. While you shouldn't be terrified to utilize quick chargers at all, proceeded with use can debase the battery quicker than a more slow charge. Consider it thusly, on the off chance that you can charge your vehicle gradually utilizing a devoted home charger (short-term for instance) then, at that point, that is vastly improved for the wellbeing of the battery. 


Keep the "Territory of Charge" between 20-80% 


Try not to keep your battery vacant or totally full. All things considered, change the settings on your vehicle or vehicle charger to restrict the charge to around 80% and keep it above 20% if possible. 


Generally day by day or week after week driving is effectively covered by the scope of most EVs. Truth be told, the vast majority of us don't require it completely energized, so attempt to keep it somewhere in the range of 20% and 80% with the exception of longer excursions. 


Just charge completely for long excursions 


In some cases we really want a full battery for a more drawn out venture. Charging the vehicle completely doesn't debase the battery except if you were to keep it at 100% constantly (see tip 2). Along these lines, where conceivable, possibly charge to 100% assuming you truly need it. Most electric vehicles have in-fabricated route that will let you know if you can arrive at your objective with the present status of charge, or plan ahead by utilizing Google Maps to check whether you really want to charge to 100% or not. 


Take your vehicle for normal, short drives 


This tip shouldn't be excessively burdening. Very much like petroleum or diesel vehicles, it's useful for the general wellbeing of the vehicle to take it for a drive occasionally. In the event that your vehicle has been sat on the drive for a really long time, think about taking it for a short drive. 


Try not to leave the vehicle left in one spot for a really long time 


On the off chance that you can't take your EV for a drive, do the following best thing and move it on the carport or change where you've stopped it. This forestalls level spots in tires which can influence proficiency.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MAINTAIN AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE

 WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO MAINTAIN AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE 


However electric vehicles might in any case cost more to buy than their routinely fueled partners, they're by and large less expensive to continue running by means of reasonable home charging. Electric vehicles likewise set aside their proprietors money on a continuous premise through lower long haul upkeep costs. 


That is on the grounds that EVs take out more than two-dozen mechanical parts that would regularly require intermittent help. An EV proprietor tries not to need to pay for things like check ups, oil changes, cooling framework flushes, transmission adjusting, and supplanting the air channel, sparkle fittings and drive belts. Sources propose electric vehicle proprietors spend about 33% of how customarily controlled auto proprietors help standard assistance. 


In any case, an EV isn't sans upkeep. All automakers demand proprietors follow a progression of intermittent checks and administrations to keep the vehicle's guarantee as a result. If you don't follow the suggested plan, your vehicle may not be covered on the off chance that it requires fixes. 


Beside tire pivot, supplanting the lodge air channel and wiper cutting edges, and garnish off the washer liquid, a lot of this boils down to different mechanical reviews. Automakers exhort, and suitably in this way, that beside straightforward undertakings like really looking at the pneumatic stress in the tires, finishing off the windshield washer liquid, and maybe changing the wiper cutting edges, these strategies ought to be performed by a prepared professional at the seller's administration office. 


To act as an illustration of what's normally needed, here's a glance at the support plan for the 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV: 


Month to month (performed by proprietor): 


Check the tire pressure and change as fundamental. Look at the tires for overabundance wear. Check the windshield washer liquid and fill as essential. 


Each 7,500 miles: 

Have the tires pivoted. Check the coolant level for the battery, lodge radiator, and the power inverter, adornment power, and charger modules. Outwardly check for liquid holes. Investigate the brakes. Outwardly investigate the directing, suspension, and body parts for harm. Investigate the power directing, halfshafts and drive shafts for unreasonable wear, breaks, or harm. 


Really take a look at the restriction (airbags) framework. Grease up body parts (entryway locks). Actually look at the gas pedal for harm, high exertion, or restricting and supplant if fundamental. Outwardly examine the gas swaggers (suspension) for indications of wear, breaks, or other harm. Check the tire sealant termination date, if prepared (this is utilized to briefly seal and expand a harmed tire). 


Double a year: 

Flush destructive materials (for example street salt) from the underbody utilizing plain water. 

Each 15,000 miles: 

Supplant the windshield wiper cutting edges. 

Each 36,000 miles: 

Supplant the lodge air channel (all the more oftentimes if fundamental). 

Each 75,000 miles: 

Supplant the hood as well as body lift support gas swaggers. 

Like clockwork: 

Channel and fill the vehicle coolant circuits. Supplant the brake liquid. 

Like clockwork: 

Have the cooling desiccant changed. (it assimilates and holds dampness in a portable cooling framework to assist with forestalling consumption). 


As far as concerns its, Nissan gives two separate support plans for the Leaf. Timetable 1 is for more extreme working conditions that incorporate continuous brief excursions of under five miles in typical temperatures or 10 miles in frosty climate, unpredictable driving in warm climate, low-speed driving for significant distances, driving in dusty conditions or on harsh, sloppy or salt spread streets, or utilizing a vehicle top transporter. 


Timetable 2 requires less-incessant support, yet applies just to expressway driving in mild conditions. The main concern here is that most Leaf proprietors will require Schedule 1 assistance. 


Similarly as with the Bolt, this boils down to arranged occasional mechanical assessments, having the tires pivoted like clockwork or 7,500 miles, and changing the lodge air channel at regular intervals or 15,000 miles. Moreover, the brake liquid ought to be supplanted like clockwork or 30,000 miles, and the coolant changed following 15 years or 120,000 miles. 


Presently managing the cost of less upkeep doesn't really mean an electric vehicle is impenetrable. EV proprietors will ultimately have to supplant the tires, have the brakes adjusted, and could be needed to supplant controlling and suspension parts, hoses, headlamps, taillights, etc. Likewise with some other sort of vehicle, a wheel arrangement will be fundamental if the vehicle pulls aside or is displaying lopsided tire wear. 


And afterward there's an EV's battery pack to consider, which is by a wide margin its costliest part. All electric vehicle batteries will debase after some time and lose a portion of their capacity to keep a full charge, however this happens step by step. It's a greater amount of an issue with more seasoned EVs that could scarcely marshal 80 miles on a charge than the present yield of 200-mile-in addition to models. At that, main a general modest bunch of electric vehicles fabricated to date have supposedly debased to where they should have been supplanted. In any case, in the event that you own an EV long enough you'll see its reach decay, and in the event that it misses the mark enough to turn into a bother, you might have to trade out the battery pack or exchange the vehicle for another one.

Daftar 5 Tips Perawatan Kaca Depan Mobil

Kaca depan mobil Anda membutuhkan perawatan rutin. Namun, ini termasuk dalam daftar komponen kendaraan yang paling terabaikan. Selain membersihkan kaca secara rutin, Anda juga harus memastikan tidak ada retakan. Sedikit perawatan dapat membantu mencegah banyak masalah di jalan. Pada artikel kali ini, kami akan membahas beberapa tips yang akan membantu Anda merawat mobil Anda dengan baik, khususnya kaca depan


Jangan parkir mobil Anda di Direct Sunlight

Jika Anda terbiasa memarkir mobil di bawah sinar matahari langsung, Anda membuat kesalahan besar. Jika suhu di luar terlalu tinggi, kaca depan bisa retak karena stres. Selain itu, retakan terus menyebar. Ingatlah bahwa warna kaca rentan terhadap sinar ultraviolet matahari. Paparan jangka panjang tidak baik untuk kesehatan kaca depan mobil Anda.

Oleh karena itu, biasakanlah untuk memarkir kendaraan di ruang bawah tanah atau garasi Anda. Ini akan melindungi mobil Anda dari cuaca ekstrim.

Jangan abaikan retakan 

Jika benda asing, seperti bongkahan batu mengenai kaca depan mobil, dapat meninggalkan retakan atau serpihan. Akibatnya dapat menyebabkan terbentuknya gelembung di sela-sela lapisan kaca. Akibatnya, formasi utama ini menyebabkan banyak kerusakan, terutama jika tidak ditangani tepat waktu.

Apakah ban yang aus sebagian aman?

 Di masa-masa sulit, tidak heran jika banyak pengemudi menolak harga satu set ban baru. Salah satu solusinya, setidaknya untuk beberapa, adalah menghindari membeli karet baru sama sekali dan sebaliknya membeli ban yang sudah digunakan oleh orang lain. Itu disebut ban yang aus sebagian.

Hukum Inggris tentang ban yang aus sebagian


Di Inggris Raya, membeli atau menjual ban bekas tidak ilegal. Faktanya, menurut badan industri TyreSafe, sebanyak 5,5 juta ban bekas dijual di sini setiap tahun. Vendor terikat oleh hukum untuk mematuhi sejumlah peraturan ketat. Pertama dan terpenting, ban bekas harus dalam kondisi baik, yang berarti tidak ada tonjolan di dinding samping dan tidak ada potongan besar pada tapak, sementara tidak ada bangkai struktur atau kabel yang terlihat. Selain itu, mereka harus memiliki tapak minimal 2mm di lebar dan di sekitar lingkar, dan mereka harus ditandai dengan jelas dan permanen sebagai 'sebagian aus' dalam huruf besar dengan tinggi minimal 4mm di dinding sampingnya.

Meskipun peraturan ini sangat sederhana, banyak pemasok ban yang aus sebagian diketahui mencemoohnya. Jika Anda mempertimbangkan untuk membeli satu set ban bekas, pastikan vendornya mematuhi undang-undang ini - dan ingat, ban yang tidak memenuhi persyaratan minimum ini dapat menyebabkan Anda mengalami kecelakaan yang sangat serius.

Keunggulan ban yang aus sebagian

Seperti yang telah ditunjukkan berkali-kali sebelumnya, jika Anda membeli mobil bekas dan tidak segera mengganti ban dengan set baru, Anda sebenarnya membeli ban bekas. Banyak dari kita akan mengakui telah melakukan hal itu tanpa tahu dari mana asalnya ban itu atau bagaimana sejarahnya.

Beberapa ban yang aus sebagian dikirim dari Jerman, dengan kedalaman tapak minimum yang legal adalah 3mm. Di Inggris, ukurannya 1,6 mm, jadi ban bekas yang diimpor dari Jerman masih memiliki banyak tapak yang tersisa dan mungkin beberapa ribu mil masih harus dijalankan.

Keuntungan besar dari ban bekas, tentu saja, harganya lebih murah daripada ban baru. Terlebih lagi, dengan membeli satu set karet bekas Anda mungkin bisa membeli ban berkualitas lebih tinggi dari merek ternama, daripada ban murah dari produsen yang belum pernah Anda dengar.

Kerugian dari ban yang aus sebagian

Keamanan. Sesederhana itu. Jika seseorang telah melepas satu set ban dari mobilnya, mereka melakukannya karena mereka tidak lagi menganggapnya aman. Jika ban tersebut tidak cukup baik untuk pengemudi lain, apakah itu benar-benar cukup baik untuk Anda?

Dengan kedalaman tapak yang lebih rendah dari ban baru, pekerjaan sebagian akan menghasilkan daya cengkeram yang lebih sedikit, terutama saat basah. Itu berarti mobil Anda akan memiliki lebih sedikit traksi dan - lebih tepatnya - lebih sedikit menikung dan cengkeraman pengereman.

Ways To Wash Your Car During The Rainy Season, To Keep It Shiny

So what if the rainy season is like this time. Should the car be cleaned more often, or shouldn't it be? Remembering that the car looks sleek, but it rains again and the car becomes dirty again. Well, according to the Daihatsu official website, cleaning the car during the rainy season still needs to be done, especially during the rainy season like now. This is done to prevent dust from accumulating too thick in the car.

Cleaning the car at home is not really a difficult thing. Laziness is what usually happens. There are several ways to wash your car to make it look shiny, including:

1. Avoid washing when hot
Be careful with the remaining soapy water. In addition, to make car paint shiny, avoid washing it under direct sun. Moreover, the remaining dry soapy water leaves spots on the car body.

2. Do not use detergent
There are several types of soap, of course, have different functions. The soap used to wash cars is no exception.

Never wash with soap containing detergent, because it will damage the car paint.

3. Adjust the water outlet pressure from the hose
Stubborn dirt in cars is easier to clean with high water currents. However, please note that this also endangers car paint.

Just use medium strength water. Apart from spraying with a hose, it can also be done by flushing it.

6. Immediately dry the car after washing
When all parts of the car are clean, dry the car immediately. This is also one way of caring for car paint to keep it shiny. Do not let water wet the car body for too long.

Also, avoid relying on sunlight to dry it. This can cause the remaining water to be imprinted on the car parts.


5. Pay attention to how to wipe and the cloth of the rag
To wipe the car, of course, there are several things that must be considered. The first is regarding the cloth. Choose a material made from synthetic leather so that the water is absorbed more quickly.

Do not use a washcloth made of cotton, because this material often stores small particles that can scratch car paint.

Second, of course, be careful when wiping. Make sure the cloth used is clean and wiping the car is one way to make car paint shiny.

Cara Mencuci Mobil Anda Seperti Seorang Ahli

Beberapa hal sama memuaskannya dengan mobil yang dibersihkan dengan cermat. Ini adalah prestasi yang jarang dapat dicapai di tempat cuci mobil otomatis lokal Anda dengan sikat yang tidak tepat dan terkelupas serta pendekatan satu semprotan yang paling cocok. Bahkan wadah pembersih buatan sendiri dapat menyebabkan lebih banyak kerusakan daripada kebaikan karena sikatnya sering mengumpulkan kotoran yang dapat menggores permukaan kendaraan Anda. Menarik selang dan beberapa ember di jalan masuk memungkinkan Anda meluangkan waktu dan fokus pada bagian paling kotor dari kendaraan Anda.


Ini sepertinya tidak perlu dipikirkan, tetapi ini adalah langkah yang sangat penting. Tentukan seberapa kotor mobil Anda sebelum membuang selang, ember, perlengkapan pembersih, dan handuk. Apakah lumpur berlapis pada panel rocker? Apakah mobil tertutup debu halus? Apakah Anda perlu menghilangkan garam setelah berkendara di jalan yang licin?

Anda mungkin tidak memerlukan seluruh gudang produk untuk pencucian sentuhan cepat. Lihat mobil itu sendiri. Mobil yang lebih tua mungkin memerlukan perawatan menyeluruh dengan tanah liat, lilin, dan poles untuk melindungi catnya, sementara mobil baru mungkin memiliki lapisan bening yang kuat dan masih utuh.

Sebelum menerapkan apa pun pada kendaraan Anda, bacalah label pada produk yang akan Anda gunakan. Tidak semua produk pembersih otomotif serbaguna. Produk yang salah bahkan dapat merusak cat, lapisan bening, atau lapisan luar lainnya di dalam dan luar. Jika Anda ragu tentang bahan pembuatan komponen mobil Anda, selalu gunakan produk pembersih paling ringan yang dapat Anda temukan.

Membaca petunjuk akan membantu menghemat waktu dan uang serta memastikan Anda menggunakan jumlah produk yang tepat untuk tugas yang ada.

Tujuan pembersihan dalam yang baik adalah untuk menghilangkan kontaminan dari permukaan kendaraan. Hal terakhir yang ingin Anda lakukan adalah mencuci mobil dengan air kotor yang membuat kotoran kembali ke mobil.

Di situlah sistem pembersihan tiga ember berperan. Anda memiliki satu ember berisi air sabun bersih dan ember lainnya hanya berisi air. Ember khusus air dirancang untuk membilas sarung tangan pembersih Anda sebelum memasukkannya kembali ke ember sabun. Ember ketiga harus berisi campuran produk pembersih dan air yang hanya digunakan untuk roda Anda, karena ini sering kali merupakan bagian paling kotor dari mobil Anda.

Sebelum Anda mulai membersihkan apa pun, jauhkan mobil dari sinar matahari langsung jika memungkinkan. Ini memastikan bahwa air dan produk pembersih Anda lebih sedikit menguap saat Anda bekerja.

Mari kita tangani bagian mobil yang paling kotor terlebih dahulu: roda. Hanya gunakan ember roda untuk saat ini — bukan ember khusus air yang akan Anda gunakan untuk bagian mobil lainnya.

Pastikan produk pembersih Anda tidak mengenai ban. Ban bisa menyemprotkan produk ke cat Anda saat Anda mengemudikan mobil sesudahnya. Lewati pembalut ban yang membuat dinding samping Anda terlihat lebih gelap dan bersinar juga. Ini licin sekaligus mengkilap dan dapat berdampak negatif pada kemampuan ban Anda untuk mencengkeram jalan. Semprot roda Anda dengan air untuk membilas pembersih apa pun setelah selesai. Ingatlah untuk menggunakan selang atau botol terpisah untuk ini daripada ember untuk sisa mobil.

But in fact, how to care for an automatic car is not as difficult as one might imagine, it can even be said to be easy. As reported by The AA, now people are starting to like automatic cars because they feel they are easier to drive than manual. 
Although indeed the average price tends to be more expensive. Maintenance is also very curling, because in addition to providing comfort in driving, it will also provide security. Taking good care of an automatic car will support the car's performance. 
Maintenance of automatic cars, especially in engine parts, can indeed be done in official workshops. However, by personally understanding the tips for caring for an automatic car, of course, there are also many benefits. By knowing how to care for an automatic car, it will really help you in understanding what needs to be done so that your automatic car is durable. 
Here Tirto has summarized tips for caring for automatic cars for you. Routine Service According to the ACA, routine servicing is mandatory for vehicles. By doing regular servicing, you will know the updated condition of your vehicle. In addition, if there is a problem that occurs with the car, it is also faster to know and can be handled immediately. 
So when is it best to serve? You can follow the instructions listed in the vehicle manual. Usually the routine service schedule is listed in the book. Warm up the engine before driving Citing Mister Transmission, the right step is to prepare the vehicle by letting it heat up before driving. Although it looks trivial, it is important to do. This is because automatic cars that are rarely heated can experience problems with the engine. 
Heating the engine of a vehicle aims to adjust the air temperature in the engine and distribute oil circulation to all engine components. The correct way to heat an automatic car is to start the car without turning on the AC for 2 to 3 minutes. Make sure the car transmission is in neutral and there is no need to push the gas too deep. 
After 2 or 3 minutes have passed, you can start turning on the air conditioner. Using the right gear One of the tips for using the correct gear so that your car's performance lasts, one of which is when your car is stopped due to a traffic jam or is at a red light with the engine still running, shift the gear to the N or Neutral position and lift the handbrake. 
When you park, do not shift the gear to the D (Drive) position then immediately turn off the car engine. However, move the transmission lever to the P or Parking position. Pay attention to vehicle performance Try to be more sensitive with your vehicle. 
Is there something strange about the engine sound? Or is there an unnatural noise when the car is traveling at high speed? Whatever it is, immediately take your car to the repair shop for further inspection. Maintenance of this automatic car should not be delayed, because it can make your vehicle engine damage worse. 
Perform Road Test For automatic cars, it is important to carry out road tests regularly every two to three months. It's easy. You just drive your car then shift gears and watch the process. If a strange sound appears and the car shakes when you shift gears, this could indicate a problem with your vehicle's transmission. 
Take your vehicle to an authorized repair shop for further handling. Change Engine Oil and Transmission Oil Philkotse explained, changing engine oil is very easy to do, even independently. Engine oil has many roles, including reducing friction between vehicle engine components, cooling the engine, filtering dirt, and preventing rust. 
When doing routine vehicle service, don't forget to change the engine oil. Meanwhile, transmission oil, according to Rymax Lubricants, generally changes to the oil when the car has traveled 25,000-50,000 kilometers. Especially when you are after a flood, change the transmission oil should be done immediately to prevent damage to the engine gearbox. 
Check Transmission Performance According to Mister Transmission, checking transmission performance is quite easy and you can do it yourself at home. First, shift the gear or transmission lever to the D or R position. Then, release the car brakes. If the car immediately moves, then you may feel relieved that there is no problem with the transmission performance of your vehicle.

Matic Car Owners Need To Read These Matic Car Care Tips

As you know, according to the gear system, the car is divided into two types, namely automatic and manual. Manual car is a type of car whose gear system uses a lever to function as a gear shift, generally manual cars have 5 types of gears, namely neutral, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and reverse or reverse gear. To shift gears from neutral to 1st gear, manual car users must first step on the clutch and at the same time enter the lever into 1st gear, if a manual car driver does not step on the clutch when trying to move the lever to 1st gear, the lever will feel stuck, then from that you have to step on the clutch first then move the lever to gear 1.

While in automatic cars for the gearing system, there is no need to use a lever to move from 1st gear to another, because the speed level transmission setting is automatic when you step on the gas pedal. Therefore, automatic cars do not have a clutch pedal. It's just that in automatic cars the gear lever is intended to regulate P (parking), R (Reverse), N (neutral), and D (speed).

Especially for D (speed) transmission, there are several types of regulation. For example, when the car is driving on a flat road, position the transmission lever to the D. degrees position the transmission lever to the D1 or L. position whereas if you want to go at speeds above 30 km / H position the transmission lever to the D3 position.

Now here is the problem, most automatic car drivers are often confused about adjusting the transmission lever to road conditions when driving. They are still often confused or incorrectly entering the transmission, for example when you drive across steep mountains, the position of the transmission lever should be positioned to D1, but due to ignorance or confusion they mistakenly enter the transmission lever which should be D1 instead of entering the D2 transmission, or even the one. there is danger of inserting a D or D3 transmission lever.

When you make this mistake there is a risk of an accident or a strike. Nowadays, there are a lot of news that says the average car involved in an accident is an automatic car. The accident was caused by the automatic car driver who incorrectly entered the transmission lever. So if you still love your automatic car, do maintenance of your automatic car properly. Besides that, you also have to improve your driving skills, especially when driving with an automatic car. If you are confused about how to do automatic car maintenance, you should read the following automatic car care tips.

Test Drive
Don't let your car break down too often at home. You should take the time to do a test drive, or at least drive around your housing complex. This aims to prevent the oil from freezing, besides that, a test drive will make all systems in your car work and fully functional. When the car for just 1 week is left to "break down" at home, then believe me, like a human who rarely exercises, your car will lose its ability to operate.

Check and change oil
Oil functions as an engine lubricant, so that when the car is started, the engines will run and function optimally. Oil is like a joint lubricant, when the joint lubricant in our body is dry, then our hands or feet cannot be moved optimally. So that's what happens when the engine is not given oil, or even dry oil, then you must immediately refill the oil. There are many good quality oils in the market, and also make sure the oil used is special oil for automatic cars. For the record, you have to make an oil change when your car has reached a distance of between 80 thousand KM to 100 thousand KM.

Warming up
Warming up (heating the car) is something that sounds trivial, but has very high properties for the "health" of your car. heating the car aims to "heat up" and accelerate the engines and the entire system in your automatic car. The risk if your automatic car is rarely warmed up is a malfunction of the engine, damage to the transmission system, so that the car cannot be started.

Visit the automatic car repair shop in your city
If you want to check the overall performance of your automatic car, you can simply visit an automatic car repair shop in your city, and ask the mechanic to check all parts of the car, from the gear system, brake system, gas pedal, electrical system, and others. In addition, checking the condition of your automatic car to the workshop is the right step, because quality workshops will be provided with an experienced automatic car technician.

Knowing how to care for an automatic car will really help you in understanding what you need to do so that your automatic car is durable. Tips for caring for an automatic car that you can do in everyday use are in using and driving your automatic car, because the way you use it daily will greatly determine the condition of the engine on your automatic car.

Tips for Caring for Matic Cars

Move the lever to the transmission position N, when the car is in Traffic Light. This is very useful for preventing automatic engine wear. Try not to use position D when stepping on the brake pedal.


When parking, step on the brake pedal and pull the hand brake, and move the lever to the transmission position P to lock the wheels securely. After you can turn off the machine.


Do not use the lever in the P transmission position if the car has not stopped completely! Don't leave the car parked in position D! If not, then the clutch plate on your automatic car will quickly break.

The older the car oil, the viscosity and viscosity will decrease so that the friction between the clutch canvases will be even harder. Therefore, for those of you who own an automatic transmission car, you must always be on time when you change your oil, otherwise it will be fatal to your automatic car engine! Try to always check the transmission oil of your automatic car.

Signs of damage are when the clutch slip occurs, which is indicated by an imbalance between the engine speed and the speed of the car. If you have started to feel these symptoms, it is recommended that you immediately bring your automatic car to an authorized repair shop for checking and treatment.

The condition of the automatic engine is checked by entering the gear in the D or R transmission position then releasing the brakes. If in normal conditions, the car will immediately move.

Checking the condition of the car oil is usually done by looking at the dipstick in the engine room above the gearbox.
For certain types of cars, the dipstick can be checked through the holes under the gearbox.

Every car with automatic transmission is recommended to change the transmission oil, every 5,000 km together with changing engine oil.

Furthermore, for every 20,000 km, the oil must be drained and replaced with a new one, accompanied by a transmission oil filter replacement, because the oil filter is also a part that is directly related to the automatic transmission of your automatic car.

Caring for an automatic car is easy and not complicated

Apparently, how to care for an automatic car is not as difficult as one might imagine. With you can take good care of your automatic car, in addition to providing comfort in driving, it will also provide security, and make you more economical in car maintenance costs.
