Vehicle file transfer approval generally takes 3 working days, so it cannot be completed on the same day. The vehicle files will be mailed only after approval, mainly depending on the efficiency of the local DMV and relevant regulations. The DMV usually takes about a week to mail the files via EMS. Some users have reported that in special cases, it might take up to half a month to receive them. Therefore, if you need the files urgently, it is recommended to pick them up in person at the DMV where the transfer was processed. Below are the relevant details for file transfer: 1. Personal attendance: The original owner must be present for the vehicle transfer and file transfer process. If the original owner is not available or lacks proper identification, the vehicle file transfer cannot be processed. 2. Consultation: Before relocating the vehicle, consult the DMV at the destination to confirm the name of the DMV. 3. Clear violations: Before processing the transfer, ensure all traffic violations are resolved, issue a transaction tax invoice, stamp the vehicle's steel imprint, check the vehicle files, inspect the vehicle at the testing station, retrieve the original license plate, complete internal review for transfer, transfer the additional fee certificate, and transfer the insurance.

What type of engine oil is used for the Changan Oshan X7?

The engine oil specification for the Changan Oshan X7 is 5W-30. The Changan Oshan X7 uses original brand engine oil. If you wish to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose oil brands such as Shell, Mobil, Castrol, or Total. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, ensuring smoother cold starts for the car in low temperatures. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher this number, the better the oil can maintain its viscosity index at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the Changan Oshan X7 is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out; Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new oil through the engine valve cover filler port. Generally, fill about three-quarters of the oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, perform necessary repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the dipstick to check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.

What Causes Abnormal Noises After a Car Drives Through Water?

Possible reasons for noises after a car drives through water include water entering the brake pads, foreign objects on the brake pads, and water ingestion in the exhaust pipe. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Water in the brake pads: If the car drives through shallow water and water splashes onto the brake pads, squeaking noises when braking are normal. This situation only requires normal driving until the water on the brake pads dries up. 2. Foreign objects on the brake pads: If the car drives through deep water, foreign objects like plastic bags, paper, or mud in the water may get stuck on the brake pads, causing noises when braking. In this case, the brake pads need to be cleaned. 3. Water ingestion in the exhaust pipe: If the car drives through deep water and water enters the engine through the exhaust pipe, it can prevent the fuel and air mixture in the engine from burning properly, leading to abnormal noises.
