Automatic transmissions require an oil change every two years or 40,000 kilometers, while manual transmission oil is generally replaced every 2 to 4 years or 80,000 kilometers. Transmission oil is a lubricant that keeps the gear system clean, ensuring proper transmission operation and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. It provides effective lubrication even at low temperatures and reduces oil loss under harsh operating conditions. Transmission oil is categorized into automatic transmission fluid (ATF), specifically designed for automatic transmissions, and manual transmission oil, also known as gear oil, used for lubricating spur and bevel gears, as well as gears in transmissions and steering systems under normal load conditions.

Does a car that is exactly 6 years old need to go through the inspection line?

The sixth-year vehicle annual inspection requires passing the inspection line. For a car that is exactly six years old, the annual inspection process is the same as the regular annual inspection. You need to drive the vehicle to the inspection station with your ID card, vehicle license, vehicle and vessel tax or tax exemption certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. After passing the inspection, you will receive a certification form. Take this form along with the required documents to the relevant window to obtain the annual inspection sticker. Notes for the sixth-year vehicle inspection: On-site inspection: After submitting the inspection application, the vehicle must first undergo on-site inspection. Drive the vehicle into the automatic inspection area to check exhaust emissions, speed, lights, side slip, and chassis to ensure they meet the standards. The vehicle will pass only if all items are qualified. Exterior inspection: Verify the vehicle's license plate, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number for accuracy. Inspect the body exterior: Check details such as the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, paint, engine operation status, and the interior and wheels of passenger vehicles.

Can a car be licensed without paying the purchase tax?

No, a car cannot be licensed without paying the purchase tax. According to Article 13 of the "Vehicle Purchase Tax Law of the People's Republic of China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Purchase Tax Law"), which came into effect on July 1, 2019, taxpayers must pay the vehicle purchase tax before registering the vehicle with the traffic management department of the public security authority. The tax liability for the vehicle purchase tax arises on the day the taxpayer purchases the taxable vehicle, and the taxpayer must declare and pay the vehicle purchase tax within sixty days from the date the tax liability arises. Therefore, the purchase tax must be paid within three months after buying the car. The process of paying the purchase tax is also straightforward. The taxpayer only needs to bring the original purchase invoice, the original tax payment copy of the purchase invoice, the original and a copy of the vehicle's factory certificate of conformity, the driver's ID card and a copy, and the tax declaration form to the local tax service hall and apply for the vehicle purchase tax payment at the relevant window. If you don't have time to license the car after paying the purchase tax, you can postpone the licensing and use a temporary license plate temporarily. However, the validity period of the temporary license plate cannot exceed fifteen days, and the vehicle management office cannot issue temporary license plates more than three times.

What are the items for headlight inspection?

Front: Check left and right turn signals, fog lights, parking lights, high beams, low beams, and dimming lights. Rear: Check left and right turn signals, parking lights, brake lights, reverse lights, and license plate lights. In addition to the above, there are also interior reading lights and front and rear row dome lights, all located overhead. Below is relevant information: Definition: Headlights are also known as main beams, with 'headlights' being the formal term and 'main beams' the colloquial name. Headlights have high beam and low beam functions. Low beams are used for close-range visibility, while high beams provide long-distance illumination and a broader field of vision. Notes: Headlights are lighting devices installed on both sides of the front of a car, used for road illumination during nighttime driving. As modern vehicle speeds increase, the required illumination distance also grows. The illumination distance of a car's low beams is approximately 50 meters. The positioning requirements mainly ensure the illumination of the entire road surface within the lighting distance and prevent deviation from the road surface.

Does Turning Off the Engine Without Shifting to P Gear Damage the Car?

Turning off the engine without shifting to P gear can damage the car. While it is possible to turn off the engine without shifting to P gear, doing so can harm the transmission and engine. It is recommended to shift to P gear before turning off the engine. The P gear mechanically locks the output shaft of the transmission to secure the car, preventing it from moving. P gear is the most common gear in various automatic transmission vehicles, equivalent to the manual transmission's gear lock. It functions similarly to an auxiliary brake and is usually located at the frontmost or rearmost position of the gear lever. By locking the axle through the gear, it ensures the vehicle remains stationary on the road. If you brake directly without shifting to P gear, the vehicle may lose its intended braking capability. Therefore, the safest and most secure practice is to shift to P gear after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Parking sequence: For manual transmission vehicles: First, press the brake to gradually reduce speed, then press the clutch and shift to neutral. Once the car is completely stopped, shift to P gear, engage the handbrake, and then turn off the engine and remove the key. For automatic transmission vehicles: First, press the brake to bring the car to a gradual stop, shift from D gear to N gear, engage the handbrake, and finally turn off the engine.

How Long is the Validity Period from Driving Test Subject 1 to Subject 4?

There is no time limit if Subject 1 is not passed. The time limit starts only after passing Subject 1, and a Driving Skills Test Permit is issued upon completion of Subject 1. The Driving Skills Test Permit is valid for three years, during which the applicant must complete Subjects 2 and 3. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the validity period of the learning driving permit is three years, but the expiration date must not exceed the upper age limit for application. Applicants must complete Subjects 2 and 3 within the validity period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test format is computer-based, with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 consists of 100 single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1 test content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; Road traffic conditions and regulations; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Road traffic accident handling regulations; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; Special knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: Candidates should dress appropriately for the test, no slippers are allowed, electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the test room, bring an ID card, and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the test room. Upon entering, verify identity at the assigned seat and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If failed, a retake is available on the same day; if failed again, re-register and pay. After completion, queue to collect the score report and sign it; unsigned reports are invalid. There is no limit to the number of Subject 1 test appointments. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake if failed. If the retake is not taken or is failed, the test session ends, and the applicant must re-register. Subjects 2 and 3, however, allow only five test attempts, with appointments available 10 days after a failed attempt. If the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test is failed, the passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
