Audi oil display shows min, it is best not to continue driving. Hazards of insufficient oil: Insufficient oil will prevent the engine components from being fully lubricated, increasing wear and reducing the engine's lifespan. Additionally, oil plays a crucial role in cooling and heat dissipation. Insufficient oil reduces the engine's cooling and heat dissipation capacity, leading to overheating, which can further cause issues like bearing seizure and cylinder scoring. Do not mix oils: When adding oil, it is important to use the same type of oil and avoid mixing different oils, as this can negatively affect the engine. Mixing oils from different brands can lead to adverse reactions due to differences in chemical additives, resulting in turbidity, reduced quality, and diminished performance in lubrication and cooling. This can shorten the oil's service life.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Explorer in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Explorer is 73 liters, as officially announced. The Explorer requires 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 8.7-9.0L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 811-839km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is recommended to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

Is it okay to drive with only a driver's license?

No, it is not okay to drive with only a driver's license. Driving without a vehicle registration certificate is not permitted. The vehicle registration certificate is the legal document that allows a motor vehicle to be driven on roads within China. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," when driving a motor vehicle on the road, one must carry both the driver's license and the vehicle registration certificate, and must also place the inspection sticker, insurance sticker, and license plate in the designated locations as required. When driving on the road, the vehicle must display its license plate (or temporary license plate or replacement plate certificate). Insured vehicles must carry the insurance policy, individually operated vehicles should carry relevant business licenses and documents, the vehicle registration certificate, driver's license, and road maintenance fee certificate. Vehicles owned by organizations should carry the company's "travel document," and the driver must carry their resident ID card. Driving without a vehicle registration certificate may or may not result in penalties, depending on the situation. For example, driving your own car, a friend's car, or a shared car from outside can have different consequences if the vehicle registration certificate is not present. The scenarios are as follows: Driving a shared car: Those who have driven shared cars may notice that the vehicle registration certificate is not kept in the car. Although this is not legally permitted, shared car companies collectively store the vehicle registration certificates to prevent loss. If needed, the certificate is provided to the police for inspection. Driving a friend's car: Even if the vehicle registration certificate is under a different name (the friend's), it must still be carried. Driving your own car: If the vehicle registration certificate has been temporarily confiscated but you still drive the car, according to the "Regulations on the Application and Management of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" by the Ministry of Public Security, traffic authorities have the right to impound the vehicle, impose a fine, and deduct 1 point from the driver's license. The vehicle can only be retrieved once the driver presents the vehicle registration certificate.

Should Worn Tires Be Replaced?

Tires should be replaced when worn. Here are the methods to determine whether tires need replacement: 1. Tread wear approaching the wear indicator: Any brand of tires will have a wear indicator at the bottom of the tread grooves. Generally, the height of the wear indicator for passenger car tires is 1.6 millimeters (this height is also the legally mandated minimum groove depth), while for load-bearing tires, it is 2.4 millimeters. 2. Tires showing damage such as cracks or bulges: During daily use, tires may be punctured by foreign objects or accidentally hit curbs, leading to damage. Damages include tread cracks, tread bulges, missing tread rubber, severe sidewall wear, and multiple punctures by foreign objects. Especially with bulges, there is a risk of sudden tire rupture at any time. Upon noticing such damages, owners should promptly visit a professional tire shop for inspection and replacement. 3. Tire age expiration: The typical service life of tires is around 5 years. Beyond this period, tires begin to age, primarily manifesting as surface hardening followed by cracking. Aged tires lose their elasticity, and continued use may lead to tread deformation, increasing the risk of a blowout.

Do New Energy Vehicles Need Compulsory Traffic Insurance?

New energy vehicles also require compulsory traffic insurance, as it is the only insurance mandated by the state for normal road use. Without it, according to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the traffic management department of the public security authorities will impound the vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license, certificate, or complete the necessary procedures, and may issue a warning or impose a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Vehicles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for bodily injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents within the liability limits. The premium is based on the nationally unified standard rates. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies depending on the vehicle type, primarily influenced by the number of seats. Compared to the over 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party insurance, compulsory traffic insurance covers a much broader range, including losses caused by intentional actions of the victim, the insured's own property losses, related arbitration and litigation costs, and some indirect losses from accidents. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in an accident, compulsory traffic insurance will compensate within the liability limits without any deductible or exemption. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies An electronic insurance policy refers to a digital policy issued by an insurance company using digital signature software and corporate digital certificates that comply with the PKI system, bearing the electronic signature of the insurance company. An insurance policy, abbreviated as a policy, is the official written proof of the insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. It must fully record the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties to the insurance contract. The content recorded in the insurance policy serves as the basis for both parties to fulfill the contract. The insurance policy is proof of the establishment of the insurance contract. Advantages of Electronic Insurance Policies: Saves paper resources, eliminating the need to print insurance proof labels; Time-saving and convenient, unrestricted by time or location, with information readily available online anytime, quickly and easily; Allows for reissuance and resending, eliminating worries about losing it. If a paper version is needed offline, it can also be printed or mailed; Easy management, as electronic unification makes it convenient for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage the insurance information of various vehicles.
