If the fuel from a small gas station meets quality standards, it will not affect the car. However, if the gas station is unregulated and the fuel quality is poor, it can cause severe damage to the car's engine. Below are the effects of poor fuel quality on a car: 1. Oil Burning: Poor fuel quality leads to incomplete combustion, resulting in excessive carbon deposits. Over time, these deposits accumulate and thicken, with some entering the pistons, causing piston ring sticking and oil return port blockage. This creates gaps in the engine, allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber and burn, leading to oil burning. 2. Reduced Power: Low-quality fuel often results in incomplete combustion, leaving carbon residues that reduce engine power.

Is the Purchase Tax Paid During Vehicle Registration?

No, the purchase tax must be paid within two months, but the sooner it is paid, the better. There is no time limit for vehicle registration, but there is a two-month deadline for paying the purchase tax. If this deadline is exceeded, late fees will be charged. Only after the purchase tax is paid can the vehicle be registered. A temporary driving permit can be obtained from the new car dealer, allowing the vehicle to be driven without registration for up to six months. Below are some related details: 1. Timeframe for new vehicle registration: There is no specific regulation, but to drive on the road, a temporary license plate or official registration must be obtained. If the vehicle has not yet been registered and needs to be driven temporarily within the administrative region, a temporary license plate valid for no more than 15 days will be issued. For temporary driving across administrative regions, a temporary license plate valid for no more than 30 days will be issued. 2. Temporary license plates: If the vehicle owner needs to apply for temporary license plates multiple times, the vehicle management office may issue them no more than three times. For ordinary new car drivers, the maximum duration for using temporary plates is 45 days. 3. Displaying license plates: The "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" clearly states that vehicles must display license plates when driven on the road, and failure to do so will result in penalties. Before obtaining official license plates, a temporary license plate must be applied for in accordance with regulations to legally drive on the road. New cars must not use temporary plates for more than 15 days, and owners should promptly apply for official license plates from the vehicle management authority.

Is a Dual Clutch an Automatic Transmission Car?

A dual clutch is an automatic transmission car. Below is relevant information about dual clutches: 1. Introduction: The clutch is located between the engine and the transmission, serving as the 'switch' for power transfer between them. It is a transmission mechanism that can both transmit and cut off power. Its main functions are to ensure smooth vehicle starts, reduce the impact on transmission gears during gear shifts, and prevent overload in the transmission system. In conventional cars, gear shifts are achieved through the engagement and disengagement of the clutch, which temporarily interrupts power transfer. 2. Structure: The DSG transmission mainly consists of a multi-plate wet dual clutch, a three-shaft gear transmission, an automatic gear shift mechanism, and an electronically controlled hydraulic system. The most innovative core components are the dual clutch and the three-shaft gearbox.
