No. Here is the relevant information about mortgaged vehicles: Vehicle mortgage process: If a vehicle has been mortgaged, it means the ownership rights have temporarily transferred away from the original owner. Therefore, the original owner has no right to transfer a vehicle that doesn't temporarily belong to them. In summary, to transfer ownership of a mortgaged vehicle, the mortgage must first be paid off and released, after which ownership can be confirmed and the transfer process completed. Mortgage release: If the mortgage has been released, the vehicle can be purchased; if not, there are risks involved. This means: if the original owner makes timely repayments, there will be no issues; if the original owner defaults on payments, the vehicle may be auctioned by the mortgagee to repay the debt, and this auction cannot be refused.

How Often Should Car Compressor Oil Be Changed?

It is generally recommended to change the car air conditioning compressor oil once a year. Detailed explanation is as follows: Air conditioning compressor: The compressor acts as the engine of the air conditioning system, compressing and driving the refrigerant (coolant) to circulate. Replacing components like the compressor, condenser, or evaporator is time-consuming and costly. The refrigerant and compressor oil in a car's air conditioning system should be inspected and replaced annually to ensure proper functioning of the system and prolong the service life of key components such as the compressor. Precautions for oil replenishment: When adding refrigerant to the air conditioning system, failing to replenish compressor oil or adding excessive compressor oil can cause serious issues. Insufficient oil leads to inadequate lubrication of the compressor, preventing proper heat dissipation during operation, which in severe cases can cause cylinder scoring. Excessive oil reduces heat transfer efficiency, resulting in insufficient cooling capacity of the air conditioning system. High pressure in the compressor can also lead to compressor damage.

What is the defogging button in the car?

There are two defogging buttons in a car. One is for the front windshield defogging, marked with: a fan shape containing three upward wavy lines. The other is for the rear windshield defogging, marked with: a rectangle containing three upward wavy lines. In most car models, the rearview mirror heating button is the same as the rear windshield defogging button, meaning this single button controls both functions. Additionally, the following methods can be used for defogging: Using window defogging spray: Available online or at car wash places, it works well but the downside is that it costs money. Applying soapy water: Apply soapy water (do not use laundry detergent water) to the inside and outside of the front windows. Once the soapy water dries completely, the front windows will not fog up, and the effect generally lasts about a week.
