This Spring Festival has been the most challenging one for everyone, as the highly contagious nature of COVID-19 caught us all off guard. It is crucial that we follow experts’ guidance: wear masks when外出, wash our hands frequently, and ensure good ventilation.

When going out, it is recommended to drive a private car, ride a bicycle, or walk. For many car owners, driving a private car is also an option during periods of heightened pandemic concern.

How to Disinfect a Private Car

In-vehicle disinfection

 

Wipe door handles and the steering wheel with disinfectant or alcohol, as experts have detected the presence of the novel coronavirus on door handles. Moreover, given the relatively enclosed nature of the vehicle cabin—especially during this special period—it is crucial to prevent the virus from entering the car; therefore, disinfecting your vehicle is a must.

Disinfectant or alcohol must be applied by wiping; never spray them directly onto leather or plastic seats inside the vehicle, as this can cause discoloration and white spots that cannot be repaired. In addition, when using alcohol, keep it away from open flames, and be sure to open the windows and doors to ventilate the car for at least 30 minutes before driving again.

Do not use the vehicle's outside air circulation.

 

Air-conditioning cabin filters are unable to block the novel coronavirus. First, even the best air-conditioning filters currently available can only filter PM2.5—particles with a diameter greater than 2.5 micrometers—but the novel coronavirus has a diameter of only 0.1 micrometer. Second, some air-conditioning filters claim to have decontamination capabilities; however, these filters typically contain activated carbon, which is effective at eliminating odors inside the vehicle but does not kill the novel coronavirus.

Please use the air conditioner’s internal recirculation mode as much as possible. When driving in urban areas, avoid activating the external air intake to prevent polluted air from entering the cabin.

Why do diesel vehicles often experience low oil pressure?

All diesel engine users know that low oil pressure is a serious abnormal condition: not only does it prevent the engine from starting or operating normally, but it can also damage the equipment. Most customers’ first instinct is to assume there’s a problem with the oil; however, after thorough troubleshooting, the root cause often turns out to be the engine itself. Today, we’ll discuss the factors that can lead to low oil pressure in diesel engines.


Future trends in the development of low-viscosity motor oils!

A high-quality oil film reduces wear and protects the engine. JinQiu’s advanced core technology—liquid nano-new materials—can adsorb onto and fill the surfaces of friction pairs, forming a new surface layer that exhibits self-repairing properties. This enables the lubricant to adhere firmly and persistently to metal surfaces, creating a super oil film that dramatically enhances wear resistance. As a result, engine life is effectively extended, while sustained, robust power is maintained.


What You Need to Know About Automatic Transmission Fluid Changes?

When it comes to engine maintenance, most car owners are well aware of the basics—but how many actually pay attention to proper automatic-transmission maintenance? And when it comes to changing the automatic-transmission fluid, do people really know the right way to do it?


How often should antifreeze be replaced?

Many car owners are familiar with the oil-change interval and know that brake fluid should be replaced every two years, but they often overlook the need to change the antifreeze coolant. In fact, many drivers are unsure about how often the antifreeze coolant should be replaced or how to choose the right product. Today, we’ll provide some basic information on this topic.
