Eliminate musty odors in your car easily by yourself.

Musty smell is no joke!! During the upcoming rainy season, aside from dealing with issues like flooding and traffic congestion, another major problem for cars that is often overlooked is the issue of ‘odor’ inside the vehicle. The main cause usually stems from the air conditioning system, where moisture accumulates, especially in the air ducts under the dashboard, leading to unpleasant musty odors. Moreover, this moisture becomes a breeding ground for various bacteria and fungi, which can have adverse effects on the health of passengers. Today, GP Parts has some DIY tips to help you easily eliminate musty odors in your car. 1. Opening the car doors to let sunlight in is the simplest and most basic method. Sunlight helps to dry the interior of the car, and the air passing through helps to dissipate unpleasant odors. 2. Odor eliminating sprays come in various scents nowadays. Spray them inside the car before use and let it sit for about 15 minutes to reduce unwanted odors. 3. Dried tea leaves, wrapped in thin fabric, can be placed inside the car. The tea leaves help to absorb musty odors. 4. Rice husk charcoal, an ancient folk wisdom, can be placed in large chunks in different corners of the car. It takes about 2-3 days for the charcoal to absorb musty odors from the car. 5. Strong-smelling vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, scooped into small bowls (about 3-5 tablespoons), can be placed inside the car for 2-3 hours to help reduce musty odors.

How many types of gear oil are there, and which type should you choose?

Gear oil is a crucial factor in ensuring that the gears work efficiently. In addition to aiding the operation of the gear system, gear oil helps maintain and care for your car’s gearbox, ensuring it functions smoothly and lasts longer without breaking down. Generally, it’s recommended to change the gear oil every 30,000-40,000 kilometers. However, for vehicles that frequently shift gears, such as those driven in urban areas like Bangkok, it’s advisable to change it more frequently, around every 10,000-20,000 kilometers or annually. This interval is considered the most suitable. Once you know it’s time to change the gear oil, it’s essential to choose the right type of gear oil suitable for your vehicle’s usage. You need to know whether your car has a manual transmission or an automatic transmission. Once you know the transmission type, selecting the appropriate gear oil becomes easier. Conventional Gear Oil: It has a higher viscosity and is suitable for the operation of manual gear systems with a clutch and gear shifting, which generates significant friction. Therefore, it requires gear oil with high viscosity to ensure smooth gear changes and excellent protection against wear. Typically, the viscosity rating is 75W-85 or higher. Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF): It has lower viscosity and is designed for automatic transmission systems with a planetary gear system. ATF contains numerous small components and experiences more movement than manual gear systems. Thus, it requires gear oil with lower viscosity, allowing it to flow freely and penetrate various components effectively. It also facilitates power transmission from the pump to the torque converter.

Guidelines: What to Do When Suspecting COVID-19 Infection ?

The COVID-19 pandemic situation remains a cause for concern. Today, GP Auto Parts Co., Ltd. would like to share the guidelines provided by the Ministry of Public Health on what to do if you suspect you may have contracted COVID-19. The emphasis is on self-testing with an Antigen Test Kit (ATK) or seeking professional assistance as a priority. In the case of self-testing, if the ATK result is positive, please contact the Department of Disease Control (DDC) at 1330, available 24 hours a day, or via Line ID @nhso, where officers will assist you and assess your symptoms to determine the severity. In cases where individuals get tested at healthcare facilities, the healthcare personnel will evaluate their symptoms. For patients with either no symptoms or mild symptoms and no risk factors such as underlying medical conditions, they can enter home isolation or community isolation. Continuous monitoring, symptom assessment, and the provision of necessary medications and essentials will be conducted by dedicated staff. This approach aims to reduce hospital congestion due to COVID-19, particularly the Omicron variant, which spreads easily but often causes mild symptoms. However, if a patient’s condition worsens during home or community isolation, the healthcare personnel will coordinate their transfer to a hospital for further treatment. For patients with a positive ATK result and symptoms or risk factors such as fluctuating underlying medical conditions, they will be referred to hospital care based on the following criteria: – Fever higher than 39 degrees Celsius persisting for more than 24 hours – Adults breathing at a rate exceeding 25 breaths per minute – Blood oxygen levels below 94% – Presence of underlying medical conditions with associated risks – Children experiencing respiratory distress, lethargy, or decreased intake of food/milk For cases where the ATK result is negative, further consideration will depend on the presence of symptoms. If symptoms are present, a repeat PCR test will be conducted to confirm the result. If no symptoms are present, individuals will be evaluated for any risk factors. If there are risk factors, they will be required to self-isolate and undergo ATK testing every 3 days or whenever symptoms arise. If the result is positive, they should contact the Department of Disease Control. For individuals without risk factors, there is no need for self-isolation. However, it’s important to adhere to DMHT measures, which include maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, practicing hand hygiene, and regularly checking body temperature before entering various premises. #TogetherThroughCovidCrisis #GPautoparts #CaringForCommunity ___________________________________ Place an order/Become a distributor.

6 disadvantages of not changing engine oil as scheduled!!

Problems caused by deteriorated engine oil ❗️❗️ 1. The car runs sluggishly and struggles to accelerate. When the engine oil deteriorates, it affects the internal workings of the engine, causing the car to run less smoothly than usual. It may take longer to reach speeds previously achievable, and acceleration may be slower. This can impact overtaking maneuvers, as failing to reach appropriate speeds in time can be dangerous. Ignoring this issue for an extended period may lead to engine failure. . 2. Rapid internal component wear and tear. When engine oil becomes contaminated with various particles during operation, these contaminants can infiltrate and abrade internal components, leading to accelerated wear and tear. This results in components deteriorating faster than usual, shortening their expected lifespan. . 3. Engine noise increases. Due to internal components starting to wear or due to heavy usage without proper maintenance, the engine may produce louder noises. Additionally, the engine may sound dry because it has never been refilled with oil, which serves as a warning sign that it is time to change the engine oil promptly. . 4. Increased fuel consumption. As the engine oil deteriorates over time, not only does it lose its lubricating properties and ability to maintain engine internals, but it also leads to increased fuel consumption. This is because more energy is required to drive the vehicle compared to before. Some might not consider this a big issue and postpone addressing it. However, think about how much money is spent on fuel every day due to the vehicle’s increased fuel consumption. Compare that to the cost of a single engine oil change, which not only solves the problem but also provides fresh oil to keep the engine running smoothly as before. . 5. Increased pollution. This results from the heavier load imposed on the engine. When the vehicle needs to accelerate more frequently, it releases more pollutants into the environment. . 6. High repair costs. Neglecting to change the engine oil regularly leads to decreased lubrication efficiency and reduced cleansing of residues. This accumulation of sludge and varnish inside the engine can be observed when the valve cover is removed (in engines where oil changes are infrequent). These deposits, adhering to the camshaft, do not bode well. When repair becomes inevitable, be prepared for hefty expenses. . If you want to avoid these issues with your car, it’s essential to remember and remind yourself to change the engine oil when it’s due and to choose the right engine oil for you and your vehicle. Changing the engine oil helps keep your car efficient and prolong its lifespan. . ___________________________________ Place an order/Become a distributor.
