In good condition, it can generally last 3-4 years. Here are some precautions when buying a used car: Confirm the purchasing channel: When buying a used car, always choose a reliable channel. Inspect the car: Check the vehicle's exterior for any replaced parts, repainting, etc. If the car has been repainted, the redone paint may leave small bubbles or other imperfections. Test drive: A test drive is also a good way to inspect the vehicle, provided you communicate with the dealer beforehand. Generally, through driving, you can check for any abnormal noises or looseness in the interior, chassis, or suspension. You can also test the vehicle's acceleration, braking, gear shifting, etc., to determine its previous usage condition.

How often should the oil be changed for a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission?

7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission oil should be changed every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information: 1. Working principle: The transmission relies on transmission oil for heat dissipation, lubrication, and hydraulic power transfer. If the transmission oil is used for too long, it will significantly reduce the performance of the transmission. When the transmission oil becomes severely contaminated, it can also lead to a series of transmission failures. 2. Hazards of not changing the oil in time: Failing to change the transmission oil promptly can result in weak starts when the car is cold. Additionally, transmission oil deteriorates and evaporates under high-speed and high-temperature conditions, which can accelerate the wear of mechanical components and, in severe cases, damage internal transmission parts. It can also cause the transmission oil to thicken, making it easier for the transmission cooler to become blocked, leading to excessively high transmission oil temperatures, increased wear, and minor slipping phenomena during vehicle operation.

Why should you accelerate to 60 km/h as soon as possible when entering the highway?

Introduction to the reason for accelerating to 60 km/h as soon as possible when entering the highway: To avoid affecting vehicles traveling on the main lane when merging into traffic. Additional information: On the highway, 60 km/h is the minimum speed limit. Vehicles traveling below the minimum speed limit by less than 20% will not be fined, but those traveling below the minimum speed limit by more than 20% will be fined and receive 3 penalty points. If the speed falls below the minimum limit due to special circumstances such as road construction or traffic congestion, no fine will be imposed. Motor vehicle drivers who violate the regulations with any of the following behaviors will be fined 50 yuan and may have their driver's license suspended for six months: 1. Carrying passengers in violation of regulations. 2. Carrying cargo exceeding 30% of the approved load capacity. 3. Transporting hazardous materials or carrying cargo that exceeds the specified length, width, or height without approval or not in accordance with regulations. 4. Driving more than 20 km/h above the maximum speed limit. 5. Driving below the minimum speed limit under normal conditions. 6. Failing to maintain the required safe distance between vehicles. 7. Failing to wear a seatbelt as required.

You cannot apply for a replacement of your lost driver's license on 12123. Here is the relevant information: 1. Driver's License Replacement: If your driver's license is lost, you should go to the vehicle management office (VMO), and any local VMO can handle the replacement. According to national regulations, if an motor vehicle driver's license is lost, the driver should apply for a replacement at the VMO where the license was originally issued or at any other VMO outside the original jurisdiction. When applying, you need to fill out an application form and submit the driver's identity proof and a written statement declaring the loss of the driver's license. If the application meets the requirements, the VMO will issue a replacement driver's license within one day. 2. Reporting Loss: There is no need to report the loss of a driver's license; you only need to apply for a replacement at the VMO promptly. However, when applying for a replacement, you need to fill out a written statement declaring the loss of the driver's license, confirming that the license is indeed lost and stating that any improper consequences caused by the lost license in the future are not the responsibility of the vehicle owner. Once the replacement is completed, the original driver's license, even if found, will be considered invalid.

What is the difference between 0w20 and 0w30?

0w30 engine oil and 0w20 engine oil differ in the following aspects: 1. High-temperature kinematic viscosity: The kinematic viscosity of 20-grade oil at 100 degrees is around 8, while that of 30-grade oil is about 11, making 30-grade oil more viscous than 20-grade oil. 2. Vehicle compatibility: 0w-20 and 0w-30 are produced to meet the design requirements of different engines, so the oil viscosity should be selected based on the engine's specifications. For example, Japanese, Korean, and American car models typically use 0w-20 oil viscosity, while European cars require 0w-30 or higher viscosity oil.

What does it mean when the engine fuel-saving auto start-stop is not provided?

Engine fuel-saving auto start-stop not being provided means that the vehicle's conditions do not meet the activation requirements of the auto start-stop system. Possible reasons include the brake not being fully depressed or insufficient battery charge. The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts it when it's time to move forward again. Below are some related details: 1. Principle: The auto start-stop system is achieved by equipping a traditional engine with an enhanced motor that has idle start-stop functionality. This allows the engine to completely shut off when the vehicle meets the conditions for idle stop. When the vehicle needs to start moving again, the idle start-stop motor system quickly responds to the driver's command, restarting the engine instantly to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. 2. Features: The auto start-stop system uses a computer to determine the vehicle's state, such as when stopped at a red light or in traffic. The computer can control the engine to stop automatically without affecting the use of in-car devices like the air conditioner or audio system. 3. Benefit: This technology can save up to 5% of fuel under normal driving conditions and up to about 15% in congested traffic.
