3 temporary license plates can be used non-consecutively. However, each new car can only apply for temporary license plates 3 times, and no more applications are allowed after exceeding this limit. Legal provisions: The "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" clearly stipulates that vehicles driving on the road must display license plates as required, and failure to do so will result in penalties. However, before obtaining formal license plates, it is mandatory to apply for temporary motor vehicle license plates in accordance with regulations to legally drive on the road. Validity period of temporary license plates: New cars must not use temporary license plates for more than 15 days, and owners should promptly apply for formal license plates from the vehicle management authority. Driving without license plates will lead to the vehicle being impounded by public security traffic management departments, fines, and a deduction of 12 points.

An old friend of mine often buys used cars and uses temporary license plates as a transition for each vehicle. He mentioned that the three temporary plates don't have to be used consecutively—you can have a gap of a few days in between before renewing, as long as it's within the overall validity period. Temporary plates are, as the name suggests, provisional license plates, usually allowed by the DMV to be used three times, each for a certain period, giving you flexibility in scheduling. But be careful not to let them expire—I’ve seen people forget to renew and end up fined by traffic police, then having to reapply. Enforcement is strict now—driving with an expired plate counts as unlicensed driving, which carries serious consequences. The DMV has an online platform where you can check the validity period and remaining uses in advance to avoid hassle. Remember, temporary plates are mainly for new cars or vehicles in transition—don’t rely on them for too long. Get your permanent plates as soon as possible—safety first.

How to Determine if the Flywheel Needs Replacement

Methods to determine if the flywheel needs replacement: 1. Inspect the starter ring gear of the flywheel: If there are broken teeth or severe wear at the tooth ends, it indicates damage, and the ring gear or flywheel assembly should be replaced. 2. Check the surface of the flywheel: Look for scratches, impact marks, or severe burn marks. If the wear groove depth exceeds 0.50mm, it is considered damaged and should be repaired or replaced. Here are some related details: 1. Hazards of a damaged flywheel: The flywheel and pressure plate have dynamic balance requirements. A damaged flywheel can cause engine operation imbalance, leading to issues like crankshaft fatigue and longitudinal cracks in the flywheel housing. 3. Causes of flywheel damage include: (1) Poor balance in the crankshaft, flywheel, clutch assembly, or driveshaft. (2) Improper connection between the flywheel and engine block. (3) Loose bearings in the transmission's first or second shaft, causing imbalance in transmission operation. (4) Gear quality issues, such as substandard manufacturing or poor quality, which shorten service life. (5) Poor driving habits or abnormal transmission operation can also lead to gear damage.

Why Does the Car Horn Sound by Itself for No Reason?

Car horn sounding by itself for no reason may be caused by the horn's power wire being continuously energized. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. There are two factors that can cause the horn's power wire to be continuously energized: The steering wheel button is stuck, remaining in the continuously energized position; the horn relay contacts cannot open normally, maintaining prolonged contact. 2. Composition of the horn: An automotive electric horn produces sound through the vibration of a metal diaphragm. It consists of an iron core, magnetic coil, contacts, armature, diaphragm, etc. 3. Operation of the horn: When the driver presses the horn switch, current flows through the contacts to the coil, generating magnetic force that pulls down the armature, forcing the diaphragm to move. The movement of the armature opens the contacts, interrupting the current and causing the coil's magnetic force to disappear. The diaphragm, with its own elasticity and the help of spring plates, returns to its original position along with the armature, closing the contacts again and allowing current to flow through the coil once more, generating magnetic force and repeating the above actions. This cycle repeats continuously, causing the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound. The resonator, rigidly connected to the diaphragm, smooths the vibrations, making the sound more pleasant (this is the principle of an electromagnet).

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Changan 75P in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Changan 75PLUS is 58 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Changan 75PLUS can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Changan 75PLUS uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.5-8.1L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 716-892 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, and there is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.

What is the ground clearance of the Elantra?

The minimum ground clearance of the Elantra is 160 millimeters. The minimum ground clearance of the Elantra refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. A higher ground clearance improves the Elantra's off-road capability, but if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The Elantra is a typical South Korean car. Its dimensions are 4680 mm in length, 1810 mm in width, and 1415 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2720 mm. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110 mm and 150 mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200 mm and 250 mm. However, the Elantra's ground clearance is not static—it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the Elantra's load variations. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice should depend on the vehicle's intended use and road conditions. For urban driving with well-paved roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. If the vehicle is frequently driven in rural areas or on poor road conditions, a higher ground clearance may be preferable to avoid scraping or damaging the undercarriage.

What is SJ 10W-40 engine oil?

SJ is the classification of the lubricant. The further the letter is in the alphabet, the higher the classification of the current lubricant, indicating better performance in all aspects. 10W40 refers to the viscosity of the lubricant, which is an indicator of engine oil. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. Definition of engine oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber for the engine. It is often referred to as the "blood" of a car. 2. Composition of engine oil: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties. Additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing certain new properties, making them an essential part of the lubricant. 3. Classification of engine oil: Engine oils on the market can be simply divided into mineral oil and synthetic oil based on their base oil (vegetable oil is not considered due to its scarcity). Synthetic oils are further divided into full synthetic and semi-synthetic. Lubricant base oils are mainly categorized into mineral base oils and synthetic base oils. Mineral base oils are widely used and account for a large volume (about 95% or more), but some applications require products blended with synthetic base oils.
