No, semi-synthetic oil should be replaced every 7,500 kilometers at most. Here is the relevant information: Quality: Semi-synthetic oil is of good quality, and its use will result in noticeable improvements in the following aspects: smoother cold starts, especially in northeastern regions; better fuel efficiency; longer oil change intervals, approximately 1.5 times or more compared to conventional lubricants; extended engine lifespan and reduced maintenance frequency; and cleaner engine cylinders due to the superior detergency of synthetic oil. The earliest synthetic oil: In industries such as automobiles and motorcycles, synthetic oil was first used in racing cars, which mostly avoided mineral oil in favor of synthetic oil. Synthetic oil performs well and can also be used in regular vehicles.

Is a car over 6 years old subject to annual inspection?

For cars over 6 years old, according to the new regulations implemented in 2020, they are inspected every two years. New regulations: Under the new regulations introduced on November 20, 2020, the scope of motor vehicle exemption from inspection was expanded. In addition to the existing exemption for non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles with 6 or fewer seats within 6 years, non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats (excluding minivans) within 6 years were also included in the exemption scope. For non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) over 6 years but under 10 years old, the inspection frequency was adjusted from once a year to once every two years. Inspection content: Due to the release of new environmental protection standards, four new items have been added: appearance inspection, OBD inspection, fuel evaporation inspection, and adjusted pollutant emission limits.

What does it mean when the brake warning light is on, and can I still drive?

The brake warning light is on due to a fault in the braking system, and you should not drive. Introduction to brake pads: Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are consumable parts. Brake pad wear refers to the gradual wearing down of the brake pads during vehicle use. When the wear reaches its limit, they must be replaced; otherwise, braking performance will be reduced, potentially leading to brake failure and accidents. Replacing brake pads: Some vehicles have a warning light on the dashboard that illuminates when the brake pads are worn, indicating that they need to be replaced promptly. Typically, new brake pads are about 1.5 centimeters thick. If the brake pads wear down to less than 5 millimeters, replacement is recommended.

Which manufacturer produces the LJ481Q6 engine?

Wuling Liuji Power Co., Ltd. produces the LJ481Q6 engine. Wuling is the registered trademark and brand of Liuzhou Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd., and this logo has been fully authorized for use by SAIC-GM-Wuling. The LJ481Q6 engine has a maximum horsepower of 133 HP, a maximum power output of 98 KW, a maximum power speed of 5600 rpm, and a peak torque of 200 N.m. For daily maintenance of the LJ481Q6 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard being no lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, oil should be changed regularly based on usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

Is it no longer necessary to display the compulsory insurance decal?

In some regions, it is not required to display the compulsory traffic insurance decal. On January 1, 2019, the transportation department implemented several new regulations, one of which was the introduction of electronic insurance policies. This means insurance companies will no longer provide compulsory insurance decals or paper commercial insurance policies, and there's no need to affix the compulsory insurance decal or environmental protection label on the windshield. Ultimately, only the annual inspection compliance label remains, making the windshield cleaner and somewhat reducing visual blind spots. Relevant information about traffic signs is as follows: 1. Introduction: Traffic signs are road facilities that use text or symbols to convey guidance, restrictions, warnings, or directional information. They are also known as road signs or road traffic signs. 2. Importance: In traffic signs, the general principle is safety. Setting up eye-catching, clear, and bright traffic signs is an important measure for implementing traffic management and ensuring road traffic safety and smoothness.

Is it necessary to replace a faulty airbag clock spring?

It is necessary to replace a damaged airbag clock spring. If the airbag clock spring is damaged, the airbag will not deploy properly. Consequently, in an emergency, the airbag will fail to open, and the function buttons on the steering wheel will be unusable. In such cases, if an accident occurs, the airbag may not deploy, leading to more severe injuries for the passengers. Function of the airbag clock spring: During a car collision, the airbag system is highly effective in protecting the safety of the driver and passengers. Modern airbag systems typically include either a single airbag system in the steering wheel or a dual airbag system. In vehicles equipped with a dual airbag system and seatbelt pretensioners, both the airbag and seatbelt pretensioners will activate simultaneously upon impact, regardless of the speed. Causes of airbag clock spring damage: Damage to the airbag clock spring is often related to driving habits. For example, turning the steering wheel to its full left or right lock can easily stretch and break the clock spring. Additionally, older vehicles are more prone to clock spring damage due to wear and tear. Warning signs of a faulty airbag clock spring: When the steering wheel clock spring begins to fail, symptoms may include the airbag warning light illuminating, the car horn not working, and the steering wheel audio control buttons becoming unresponsive.

Why Do Car Headlights Turn Yellow?

Car headlights are made of polycarbonate plastic, which is prone to oxidation buildup. When sunlight shines on the headlights, it causes the pores in the polycarbonate plastic on the surface to expand, accelerating oxidation and yellowing inside the headlights. At the same time, dirt and debris adhere to the outer surface of the headlights. Wipe the headlights with a soft cloth: Regularly wiping the headlights lightly with a cloth to remove dust can prevent stubborn dirt buildup. During the cleaning process, avoid using rough cloths or applying excessive force, as the plastic surface of the headlights can easily be scratched. Once scratches appear on the headlight surface, they can trap dirt, making it difficult to clean and potentially affecting the lighting performance. Clean the headlights with soapy water: Soapy water is a mild alkaline substance that is non-corrosive, gentle, and highly effective for cleaning headlights. The materials needed include soap, a basin, a magic eraser sponge, and water.
