New cars should start maintenance at 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers. The first maintenance includes changing the engine lubricating oil, oil filter, gasoline filter, and air filter. Car maintenance refers to the regular preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. Its purpose is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions of the vehicle, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process of parts, and extend the service cycle. Precautions for maintenance: 1. Avoid running the engine for a long time in an unventilated garage; 2. Avoid sucking the oil pipe with your mouth; 3. Avoid getting carburetor cleaner on the car body.

Where to Collect the Annual Inspection Exemption Sticker for Vehicles?

For vehicles exempt from annual inspection, the inspection exemption sticker can be obtained for free at the local vehicle management office or at inspection stations designated by the vehicle management office. According to regulations, motor vehicles that meet the 6-year exemption criteria are exempt from the on-site inspection (i.e., vehicle testing) process. However, they still need to apply for the annual inspection compliance sticker (the sticker placed on the front windshield, which has now been digitized nationwide) every two years. The exemption only removes the vehicle testing step; the inspection sticker must still be applied for biennially. The following documents are required: 1. "Application Form for Motor Vehicle Inspection Sticker" (applicable to vehicles exempt from inspection within 6 years, provided at the service window). 2. Original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's identity proof. 3. Original and photocopy of the vehicle's driving license. 4. Original copy of the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate (retained by the traffic management department) (i.e., the original copy of the compulsory insurance). 5. Original and photocopy of the vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate.

Will changing the color of car position lights result in a fine?

Changing the color of car position lights will result in a fine. Driving a vehicle with unauthorized modifications to lighting settings, appearance, or other technical parameters is considered a violation. According to relevant regulations, this offense will be penalized with the confiscation of the illegal modifications and a fine of 1,000 yuan. Here are some precautions regarding the use of position lights: 1. Position lights are warning lights used primarily in low-visibility weather conditions to alert other vehicles. 2. Since position lights also turn on when the headlights are activated, many drivers do not develop the habit of using position lights during daily driving—they either turn on the headlights directly or use no lights at all. 3. In hazy weather, during dusk, or in light rain, position lights can be used alone without turning on the low-beam headlights, making it easier for surrounding vehicles to identify your car.

What is the shelf life of brake fluid?

The replacement cycle for brake fluid is 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. Of course, the specific time should be determined according to the user manual, as the requirements may vary for each vehicle. However, the replacement cycle can only serve as a reference. The most direct method to determine whether it needs replacement is to check the moisture content in the brake fluid. If the measured moisture content exceeds 3%, it is recommended to replace it at an appropriate time. If it exceeds 5%, it must be replaced immediately. The method for replacing car brake fluid is as follows: 1. Open the car hood and locate the brake fluid reservoir. 2. Open the reservoir cap and use a syringe to extract all the brake fluid from the reservoir. 3. Add new brake fluid. The functions of brake fluid are: 1. Brake fluid has a very low freezing point, ensuring good fluidity at low temperatures. 2. Brake fluid has an extremely high boiling point, preventing vapor lock at high temperatures. 3. It does not cause corrosion to metals and rubber.
