It takes about 1 hour. Here is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Oil viscosity (using 0W-20 as an example): (1) The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the engine starting characteristics of this oil. Using oil with a lower number before W makes it easier to start the engine in cold weather. (2) The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the oil's viscosity characteristics at high temperatures. If the vehicle is driven at high speeds or under extremely heavy load conditions, it is more suitable to use oil with higher viscosity (higher viscosity number). 2. Oil selection: Naturally aspirated engines generally use ordinary quality oil, which can be mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil, while those with larger budgets can use fully synthetic oil. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and operate in harsher conditions, requiring higher-grade lubricants with better fluidity, preferably fully synthetic oil.

What materials are needed to help someone else with vehicle inspection?

To help someone else with vehicle inspection, you need to prepare the original vehicle license, the duplicate of compulsory traffic insurance, the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's ID card, the original and photocopy of the agent's ID card, and a written authorization letter from the vehicle owner. The process of helping someone else with vehicle inspection: Make a phone appointment for the agency service. After the appointment is successful, confirm the time and place for picking up the vehicle. At this time, the agent should remind the owner to prepare the required materials, as well as the valid triangle warning sign and fire extinguisher in the vehicle. After the agent picks up the vehicle, the owner needs to sign the pick-up confirmation form. The agent then drives the vehicle to the agreed inspection center for the inspection. After the inspection is completed, the agent returns the vehicle to the designated location and hands the relevant documents back to the owner. The owner can confirm everything is correct after checking the vehicle. Introduction to vehicle annual inspection: It is a performance inspection for vehicles that have already been registered and licensed. According to national regulations, small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; once a year after exceeding 6 years; once every 6 months after exceeding 15 years; trucks and large and medium non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years; once every 6 months after exceeding 10 years, etc.

Briefly describe the purpose and main content of comprehensive vehicle performance testing

Briefly describe the purpose and main content of comprehensive vehicle performance testing as follows: 1. Purpose: To determine the working capacity and technical condition of operating vehicles within a specified period without disassembly. 2. Main content: Identify the location and cause of faults or hidden dangers, implement quality supervision for vehicle maintenance, establish a quality monitoring system, and ensure vehicles have good safety, reliability, economy, and environmental protection. Vehicle safety testing includes braking, steering, side slip, speed, and lighting (headlights). Operational reliability testing refers to abnormal noise, wear, deformation, and crack detection.

What are the precautions for selling a car and transferring ownership?

Precautions for selling a car and transferring ownership are as follows: 1. Vehicle condition: When selling a used car, never conceal records of collisions, water immersion accidents, etc. Provide an accurate description of the vehicle's specific condition. Timely complete the transfer and name change procedures for vehicle documentation and insurance to avoid disputes during later use. 2. Contract: Before selling the car, settle any personal traffic violations. After agreeing on a price, it is recommended to engage a formal processing company to save time. When conducting the vehicle sale, both parties should sign a sales contract upon reaching mutual agreement.

Do You Need to Press the Brake When Shifting to S Gear?

You do not need to press the brake when shifting to S gear. The speed in S gear is below 90 km/h. Below are the main scenarios for using S gear: 1. Overtaking. When in a hurry to overtake, if you feel that the acceleration (speed) in S gear is too slow and does not reach the desired speed, you can directly shift into S gear without pressing the brake. At this time, the engine speed increases, and the vehicle speed will significantly improve. After overtaking, shift back to D gear directly, also without pressing the brake. If you already have considerable speed in D gear during overtaking, simply increasing the throttle is sufficient to overtake, and using S gear is not recommended. Shifting back to S gear at excessively high speeds may damage the gears. 2. Steep slopes and uphill/downhill driving. For starting on very steep slopes or prolonged uphill driving, it is recommended to use S gear. S gear provides greater torque, allowing for smooth starts with just a slight increase in throttle. For prolonged uphill driving, especially on steeper slopes, S gear is more suitable. However, it is important to note: on long slopes, you should not aim for high speed; a slight increase in throttle is sufficient, otherwise, it will consume more fuel and easily raise the engine temperature. If D gear feels insufficient when going uphill, you can directly shift into S gear without pressing the brake. For long downhill driving, if the slope is too steep, it is recommended to use S gear. However, if you were previously using D gear for downhill driving, switching to S gear requires pressing the brake depending on the speed to slow down before switching.

What is the Scrap Life of Diesel Private Cars?

Diesel private cars are not scrapped based on age, but rather on mileage and emission measurement data as the standard. If a diesel private car reaches 600,000 kilometers in mileage, it will be guided to scrap, and if it fails to meet environmental standards, it will be forcibly scrapped. The elimination and scrapping of old vehicles now follow new regulations, which abolish the working life limit for private cars and guide scrapping at 600,000 kilometers of driving distance. Small and mini non-operating passenger cars, large non-operating cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles have no working life limit. Private cars need to undergo two annual inspections per year starting from the 15th year after registration, and those over 20 years old must undergo four regular inspections per year starting from the second year. Strict limits are imposed on older vehicles during annual inspections, and private cars are subject to power testing methods.
