Scooters have oil filters. The oil filter of a scooter is generally located at the front bottom of the engine, beneath the cylinder, or sometimes at the left bottom front of the engine, inside a round cover secured by three screws. Function of the oil filter: The oil filter can filter the engine oil, keeping it clean, which ensures that the oil can provide sufficient lubrication to the engine. It also affects the oil change interval. If not replaced for a long time, it can accelerate engine wear. Working principle of the oil filter: The oil filter is installed in the oil passage. During the oil circulation process, the oil first passes through the filter before reaching various components that require lubrication, ensuring the cleanliness of the oil. Generally, oil filters are interchangeable within the same vehicle series, but different models may require different filter types. Forcing an incompatible oil filter into the engine can cause damage and, in severe cases, lead to traffic accidents. Impact of the oil filter on the vehicle: If the oil filter is not replaced for a long time, the flow performance of the lubricating oil will significantly decrease, restricting the flow of the engine oil pump. Over time, this can cause excessive wear on internal engine components. Therefore, the oil filter must be replaced regularly based on actual conditions.

Pull line too long: Simply replace the pull line with a new one. Aging of the fuel tank cap's engagement area: Apply lubricating grease to the hinge and engagement area of the fuel tank cap to lubricate it. Fuel tank cap misaligned: Use a hard plastic or small wooden piece to pry it open while pressing the key switch. After prying, you can make slight adjustments to the fuel tank cap. Extremely cold weather: This can happen in extremely cold environments. You can pour hot water to resolve the issue.

Can a new car be licensed without insurance?

A new car cannot be licensed without insurance; compulsory traffic insurance must be purchased first to obtain a license plate. Documents required for licensing: ID card, vehicle certificate of conformity, vehicle parameter sheet, second and fourth copies of the car invoice, vehicle purchase tax, and car insurance policy, etc. New car licensing process: Step 1: Pay purchase tax; purchase new car insurance; undergo criminal investigation inspection. Step 2 (Handled at the inspection station): Non-exempt vehicles undergo line inspection; pay fees and fill out forms; take rubbings and photos; collect data; receive licensing materials. Step 3 (Handled at the vehicle management office): Submit documents and owner's signature; police conduct external inspection and confirmation; select license plate number and receive receipt; install and photograph fixed license plate; receive vehicle license and registration certificate.

Does Using 10w40 Engine Oil Affect New Cars?

As long as it meets the viscosity specified by the original oil, 10w40 engine oil can be used for new cars. Meaning of engine oil specifications: Taking 15W-40 and 5W-40 as examples: W stands for winter. The smaller the number before W, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil, indicating it can be used in lower environmental temperatures and provides better engine protection during cold starts. 5W represents resistance to external low temperatures of -30°C, while 20W is resistant to -15°C. The number after W represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C, with higher values indicating higher viscosity. Difference between mineral oil and synthetic oil: Synthetic oil has a wider temperature range, longer service life, and higher cost. For the same oil film requirements, synthetic oil can achieve the goal with lower viscosity, whereas mineral oil requires higher viscosity compared to synthetic oil to meet the same requirements. In the same working environment, synthetic oil indeed has a higher cost due to its significantly longer service life than mineral oil.

Are Motorcycles Subject to National Emission Standards?

Motorcycles are required to comply with National IV standards. Implementation Plan for National IV Emission Standards: From May 1, 2018, the declaration of National III products was discontinued, with only National IV product declarations being accepted. After July 1, 2018, no further announcements for National III models were issued. When declaring National IV model announcements, new specifications and model numbers should be used to distinguish them from National III models. As the new standards have already specified technical pathways, National IV models no longer require separate recommended technical solutions and should strictly adhere to standard requirements. Starting from July 1, 2019, all National III products must complete product upgrades and transitions, with all National III product announcements revoked. All products sold and registered must comply with National IV emission standards. Background of National IV Implementation: Given that motorcycle emission control still has significant room for improvement, the Ministry of Environmental Protection established the National IV standards for motorcycles and mopeds to effectively control motor vehicle pollution, thereby promoting technological progress and structural optimization in the motorcycle and related industries.

Will a motorcycle be automatically deregistered if it fails the annual inspection?

A motorcycle that has not undergone annual inspection for three consecutive years will be automatically deregistered. According to regulations, any motor vehicle that fails to obtain the mandatory inspection compliance mark within three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of its valid inspection period shall be compulsorily scrapped. Motorcycle service life: Under normal operating conditions, the maximum service life of a motorcycle is 13 years, after which it will be automatically deregistered. Additionally, in accordance with relevant domestic laws and regulations, authorities have the right to demand deregistration of motorcycles that persistently fail to undergo mandatory annual inspections at designated locations. Motorcycles that cannot operate normally or pose traffic hazards should also be promptly deregistered to prevent traffic inconveniences and safety incidents. Three-wheeled motorcycle lifespan: This depends on the motorcycle's service period. When reaching the national compulsory scrapping age without proper registration procedures, the vehicle management office will invalidate the registration certificate, license plate, and vehicle license. As stipulated by China's compulsory motor vehicle scrapping standards, three-wheeled motorcycles have a 12-year lifespan while other motorcycles have 13 years.
