No. According to Article 16 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles", under any of the following circumstances, the owner of the motor vehicle does not need to apply for modification registration, provided that safety and license plate recognition are not affected: installation of front and rear anti-collision devices on small and mini passenger vehicles; installation of windshields, water tanks, toolboxes, spare tire racks, etc. on freight motor vehicles; and addition of interior decorations to motor vehicles. Below is additional information: Relevant regulations: The "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates: Article 16 No unit or individual may engage in any of the following acts: assembling motor vehicles or altering the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of motor vehicles without authorization; changing the model, engine number, frame number, or vehicle identification code of a motor vehicle; forging, altering, or using forged or altered motor vehicle registration certificates, license plates, driving licenses, inspection qualification marks, or insurance marks; using the registration certificates, license plates, driving licenses, inspection qualification marks, or insurance marks of other motor vehicles.

China National V Emission Standard for Vehicles

China National V Emission Standard is the fifth-stage national standard for motor vehicle pollutant emissions, abbreviated as National V Standard. Compared to the National IV Standard, the National V Standard can reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by 25% for light-duty vehicles and 43% for heavy-duty vehicles. Additional Information: 1. Significance of the National V Standard: The full implementation of the National V Standard will significantly reduce vehicle exhaust pollution, achieving energy conservation, emission reduction, and green environmental protection. From a national macro perspective, the implementation of the National V Standard will inevitably push automotive companies to upgrade the overall quality of vehicles, which is of great significance for improving the living environment. 2. The National V Standard Drives Industry Progress: The high requirements of the National V Standard compel automakers to comprehensively upgrade and transform the powertrain systems of vehicles to achieve truly clean emissions. For the domestic pickup truck industry, such upgrades may bring some short-term challenges, but it is precisely this process that can drive genuine progress across the entire industry.

Can I go directly for the annual inspection or do I need to make an appointment?

You can go directly for the annual inspection, but you will need to wait in line. Vehicles without an appointment can only be inspected after those with appointments have completed their inspections. The waiting time is uncertain, so it is recommended to make an appointment to save time effectively. Documents required for the annual inspection: You need to bring the vehicle's driving license, the owner's ID card or a copy, the valid compulsory traffic insurance policy for the current year, and ensure the vehicle is equipped with a fire extinguisher, warning triangle, and reflective vest. The vehicle's exterior must be intact, and all functions, especially the lighting system, must be operational to pass the inspection. Important notes: The annual inspection can be completed up to three months in advance, applicable to both vehicles exempt from on-site inspection and those requiring it. However, note that the three-month advance period does not include crossing into the next year; the inspection must be completed within the current year. The latest date for the annual inspection is the registration month of the vehicle.

Is 120 km/h at 1500 RPM Normal?

120 km/h at 1500 RPM is not normal, the normal RPM range should be between 2000 and 3000. The following are the maintenance precautions for car engines: Use high-quality engine oil: Engine oil, which serves as the lubricant for the engine, provides lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, and wear reduction. Only by using qualified lubricating oil can you reduce the wear of engine components and extend their service life. Therefore, it is important to always use high-quality lubricating oil. Regularly clean the car's fuel system: To maintain the engine, it is essential to properly care for the fuel system. Regularly cleaning the car's fuel system can control the formation of carbon deposits, keeping the engine in optimal condition. Periodically clean the radiator scale: Rust and scale buildup in the engine radiator are common issues. Rust and scale can restrict the flow of coolant in the cooling system, reducing heat dissipation and causing the engine to overheat, which may even lead to engine damage. Therefore, in daily maintenance, it is necessary to choose a coolant with the appropriate ratio based on specific conditions.
