Most repairs during the car warranty period are free of charge. However, if the vehicle is damaged due to modifications or human factors, it will not be covered by the warranty, and you will need to pay for the repairs yourself. The warranty period for the entire vehicle is determined based on the vehicle's age and mileage, whichever comes first. Components are divided into wear-and-tear parts and non-wear-and-tear parts. Wear-and-tear parts, such as spark plugs, bulbs, and batteries, have a shorter warranty period. If these parts exceed the warranty period or mileage, you will need to pay for their replacement. Non-wear-and-tear parts generally have the same warranty period as the entire vehicle. Below is more related information: Warranty Period: Generally, the warranty period for a new car is three years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. This means that if the vehicle exceeds 60,000 kilometers from the date of purchase, even if it hasn't reached three years, the warranty period ends. Similarly, if the vehicle hasn't reached 60,000 kilometers but has been owned for more than three years, the warranty period will also end. This is mainly based on the national "Three Guarantees" law for automobiles, which states that the repair warranty period is longer than the "Three Guarantees" period. The "Three Guarantees" period is no less than two years or 50,000 kilometers, while the repair warranty period is no less than three years or 60,000 kilometers. The date of purchase is determined based on the car purchase invoice. The length of the warranty period varies by brand, with different policies, but it will not be less than three years or 60,000 kilometers.

Is it mandatory to have maintenance at a 4S shop during the warranty period?

During the warranty period, it is not mandatory to have maintenance done at a 4S shop, but it must be performed at a qualified repair shop. Otherwise, if quality issues arise later, the 4S shop will not cover the warranty. Repairs can still be done, but fees will apply. Additional information: 1. If maintenance is done at a qualified repair shop: (1) There are many counterfeit and substandard engine oils, oil filters, and various car parts on the market, so it is essential to choose a qualified repair shop for maintenance. (2) Sufficient evidence must be provided to prove that during external maintenance, the problematic parts or related components were not tampered with. The evidence provided must be legal and valid. 2. If the engine malfunctions: Without maintenance at a 4S shop, it is difficult to accurately determine whether the fault is due to a quality issue with the vehicle itself or the use of inappropriate parts by the customer.

Why is the engine oil pressure too low?

Causes of low engine oil pressure: wear of the oil pump, or wear or foreign objects in the pressure relief valve; insufficient oil storage; oil becoming dirty or viscous during prolonged operation; excessive wear of components, large clearance of camshaft bearings; malfunction of the oil sensor, pressure gauge, or circuit; significant issues with the oil sensor, pressure gauge, or circuit, etc. Here is additional information: Solution: If the oil becomes dirty or viscous due to prolonged operation, preventing the oil pump from smoothly drawing in and pumping out the oil, leading to low oil pressure. First, clean or replace the oil pump, then replace the vehicle's oil with new oil. After replacement, ensure oil quality and strictly adhere to maintenance standards for upkeep.

How Often Should the Gear Oil of a Scooter Be Changed?

Scooter gear oil generally needs to be changed every 2,000-3,000 kilometers. For higher-end models, it can be changed every 5,000 kilometers or more. Unlike engine oil, as long as there is oil in the gearbox, the bearings and gears inside will be fine, since the gearbox does not generate much heat and only requires lubrication. Additional Information: 1. Gear oil is a high-viscosity lubricant specifically designed to protect power transmission components, often characterized by a strong sulfur odor. 2. Vehicle gear oil is classified by performance and viscosity. Currently, the API (American Petroleum Institute) performance classification and U.S. military gear oil specifications are widely adopted worldwide. Most manual transmission lubricants and differentials use hypoid gear oil, which contains extreme pressure (EP) additives and anti-wear additives to handle the action of hypoid bevel gears.
