I, Lao K, live in the northeast, we can not forget the contribution of car love in our monotonous driving life every day. In this winter that is about to enter the severe cold, I am not free, so I have carried out a small maintenance upgrade for the explorers.
Back to the truth, it is about to enter the cold winter, it is time to give the car maintenance before the winter.
This maintenance is less than half a year from the last time, and has already run 5000 kilometers. Some riders may want to ask why they are so diligent. Isn’t this a waste? In fact, it is not a waste, because the engine with turbine oil change frequently is beneficial, because the oil not only lubricate the engine but also cool the turbine, early change is still necessary.
This time, instead of using Castrol’s extreme protection, we choose Mobil’s 5W-30. Everyone says that American cars are more suitable to use Mobil, so let’s try it.
4L a barrel of anti-counterfeiting logo, looks good.
The barrel packing of 1L*2 is very ordinary, but it should not be fake.
Seal details, do not understand very well, welcome to comment ~
The selected oil filter is this UFI. I don’t know what the effect is, but it is more expensive than the ordinary one.
Set up the car, first take a look at the chassis, because it was armored last year, the overall look is still good.
From this angle, the 18-inch hub tires are also very coordinated.
Check to see the shock absorber, no problem.
The right side is also unharmed.
Start to “blood”, 5K km of oil, really not very dark.
The master added new “blood”, small maintenance is like this, very simple.
After changing the oil, the master asked me to climb into the car, set it up and let me step on the gas pedal to see if there was any leakage.
By the way, I’ll also return the “oil life” to zero.
Our American car is still easy to understand, and we can do it ourselves, unlike some brands of cars that have to be refreshed and reset with the car computer.
It’s back to 100% again, and I’m in a good mood.
Next is to continue to toss, DIY upgrade car machine system!
Don’t bother to run Shenyang 4S, come to the program firmware, do it yourself!
Upgrade is said to be 15 minutes, the details do not count, the middle of the black screen several times, safe and sound, do not be afraid ~
In the end, 99% waited for a minute and then came out with this hint to know that our car is Android.
Got it!
Take a look at the updated record, it’s all right, authentic!
After the update, the interface has not changed, and it seems that the startup speed has improved.
It is said that the biggest improvement is the mechanism of “man-machine interconnection”
Finally understand “Chinese”!
A voice call while driving will pop up several options to choose from.
Navigation information will also be displayed on the central control screen at the intersection. Awesome!
Well, prove that the temperature in Northeast China is still minus 3 degrees after the coolant is started!
After messing with the “internal organs” of the car, it’s time to come out and run through it.
Often wander around in fifth-tier cities, there are still some scratches on the chassis.
There are also some traces of time on the car body.
SAIC GM’s nine-speed gearbox has been built on the explorer for more than three years, and its performance is still good.
I still like the double-tail throat design of the 2019 model, which is strong enough.
EQUINOX silver, REDLINE champion RS, has become a classic version after discontinued production.
Wide-angle rearview lens, occasionally become “fisheye” display (may be disturbed)
The weather is cold, buy Tomatoes on sticks, get into the car and eat secretly ~
I ate, you are greedy, my story is over. ~
The old K lying in the car is waiting to see everyone’s car sharing homework. ~
