As long as the car passes the inspection, it can be transferred. The latest "Compulsory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles" has abolished the unified 15-year scrapping rule and replaced it with a guideline of scrapping after 600,000 kilometers. Additional information: Procedures required for vehicle transfer: 1. Individual to individual: Original ID cards of both buyer and seller, vehicle license, and motor vehicle registration certificate. 2. Individual to organization: Buyer's organization code certificate (original/within the annual inspection validity period), official seal, seller's original ID card, vehicle license, and motor vehicle registration certificate. 3. Organization to organization: Organization code certificates of both buyer and seller (original/within the annual inspection validity period), official seal, ID card of the seller's organization representative, vehicle license, and motor vehicle registration certificate. 4. Organization to individual: Buyer's personal ID card, seller's organization code certificate (original/within the annual inspection validity period), official seal, ID card of the seller's organization representative, vehicle license, and motor vehicle registration certificate.

As a car enthusiast who often tinkers with old vehicles, I can confidently say that transferring ownership of a car over 15 years old is perfectly fine, though the process is more complicated than for newer cars. Last year, I helped a friend transfer a 16-year-old vehicle. The key is ensuring the car passes the annual inspection, including emissions testing and mechanical safety checks, otherwise the DMV will reject it. We first took the car to an inspection station for a full check-up and spent some money repairing the exhaust system. For the transfer, you'll need to bring your ID, vehicle license, and compulsory insurance documents to the DMV to complete the transaction, which took about half an hour. Be aware that the vehicle must have no outstanding traffic violations, or the process will be held up. I also recommend coordinating with the buyer or seller in advance to schedule a time and avoid long waits. Overall, even for an older car, as long as it's well-maintained, the transfer process can go smoothly.

Is it a misfire if the engine idles roughly but runs fine?

Idling roughly but running fine is not a misfire. If the engine is misfiring, one cylinder will not be working whether at idle or while driving. Most misfires are caused by faults in the ignition system. The ignition system of a car engine mainly consists of ignition coils and spark plugs. Spark plugs are wearable parts that need to be replaced regularly. If spark plugs are used for a long time, the electrode gap will increase, which will affect the spark plug's ignition. Prolonged use can also cause carbon deposits on the electrodes, which will also affect the spark plug's ignition. Although ignition coils are not wearable parts, they can also fail after long-term operation in high-temperature environments.

How to Replace the Antifreeze in Changan Eado?

Method for replacing antifreeze in Changan Eado: First, locate the drain outlet, which is under the radiator. After replacing the antifreeze, you can pour in a 2L bottle of antifreeze, start the engine to flush it for about a minute—do not run it for too long. If it's not very dirty, you can skip the flushing and directly pour in the antifreeze for use. The Changan Eado is a mid-size sedan launched by Changan Automobile, with body dimensions of 4620mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1490mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2660mm. In terms of appearance, the Eado's front grille and lines on the front face highlight a noble and fashionable vibe, with slightly upward-tilted lines that give it a very dynamic look.

How to Check Fuel Consumption for Motor Vehicles?

Methods to check fuel consumption for motor vehicles: You can view it through the car's dashboard. If the vehicle dashboard is digital, the fuel consumption can generally be viewed more intuitively. For example, by using the steering wheel's scroll wheel or directional buttons, you can access the fuel consumption data in the trip computer (operation methods vary by model). Note that the car dashboard usually displays two types of fuel consumption: average fuel consumption and instantaneous fuel consumption. Instantaneous fuel consumption represents the vehicle's fuel consumption over a short period. Since the vehicle's operating conditions are constantly changing, instantaneous fuel consumption does not always remain at a certain level—it can sometimes spike to over ten liters per 100 kilometers and then drop back to normal levels.

What does ECO on a car represent?

ECO stands for the car's economical driving mode. ECO is an English abbreviation formed from the words Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The Eco mode is further divided into active Eco driving mode and non-active Eco driving mode. When the ECO indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the car's economical mode has been activated. Eco mode is categorized into active and non-active types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has its own dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the Eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. Non-active Eco mode does not have a dedicated button. When the dashboard ECO indicator light illuminates, it serves merely as a reminder function. The Eco system automatically evaluates your driving behavior. If your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the ECO indicator light. Most cars use the active Eco driving mode, meaning they have their own switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, we can generally activate the Eco mode. However, it is unnecessary to enable Eco mode when driving at speeds exceeding 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, especially when climbing hills. In such cases, activating Eco mode would not demonstrate its fuel-saving characteristics and could even affect the vehicle's power performance. Additionally, the Eco mode typically becomes ineffective under the following conditions: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the car prioritizes speed, causing the Eco mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking or when in N/P gear or manual mode, the Eco mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine control unit prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the Eco mode will not function in such scenarios.

What are the consequences of irregular car maintenance?

Consequences of irregular car maintenance: Initially, the car may only exhibit various issues such as increased fuel consumption and shaking. Over time, as these problems accumulate, the ultimate consequence could be the complete breakdown of the vehicle, rendering it undrivable. For example, if the air filter is not replaced in time, it will accumulate a lot of dirt, which can clog the engine and cause ignition failure. Moreover, dirty air can enter the engine, leading to engine damage. Car maintenance, also known as car servicing, refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. Car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance of the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, etc., aiming to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults, and extend the service life.

Are Ventilated Seat Cushions Actually Useful?

Ventilated seat cushions are useful. Below is relevant information about ventilation: Seat Ventilation: Seat ventilation is the "summer cooling device" of car seat air conditioning. Although automatic air conditioning can maintain a constant temperature inside the car during summer, the close contact between the passenger's body and the seat restricts airflow in the contact area, making it difficult for sweat to evaporate and causing discomfort. The unique ventilation circulation system of seat ventilation continuously delivers fresh air through small holes in the seat cushion and backrest, preventing sweat buildup on the buttocks and back, and providing a comfortable riding environment. This effectively improves the airflow between the human body and the seat surface, ensuring dryness and comfort even during long rides. Introduction: Seat ventilation comes in two types: air-supply and air-suction. The principle of seat ventilation involves using fans to inject air into the seat, which then flows out through small holes on the seat surface to achieve ventilation. Seat ventilation effectively enhances the airflow environment between the human body and the seat surface, ensuring dryness and comfort even during extended periods of sitting.
