Under normal circumstances, a gasoline car can last at least 8 years or 300,000 kilometers. Most joint-venture family sedans are designed for a lifespan of 300,000 kilometers. If driven 20,000 kilometers annually, the lifespan would be approximately 15 years. Taxis, on the other hand, are designed for 500,000 kilometers. The actual number of years a car can last depends on the vehicle's usage and condition. Below are the criteria for vehicle scrapping: 1. Reaching the stipulated service life; 2. Failing to meet the national standards for safety technical requirements of in-use vehicles; 3. Failing to meet national standards for in-use vehicles regarding atmospheric pollutant emissions or noise; 4. Not obtaining the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark within three inspection cycles.

Is it necessary to apply an invisible car wrap?

It is necessary to apply an invisible car wrap. Introduction to Invisible Car Wrap: An invisible car wrap is a high-performance, eco-friendly film widely used in the automotive beauty and maintenance industry. It is commonly known as a transparent paint protection film. Materials of Invisible Car Wrap: There are generally two main types: PVC and TPU. The former material results in a thicker and stiffer protective film with poor flexibility, making it difficult to apply with full coverage. It primarily relies on hardness to protect the car paint and is relatively cheaper. On the other hand, TPU-based protective films are softer, with excellent flexibility and stretchability, relying on high-strength resilience to protect the car paint. Additionally, this material has a certain self-healing capability for minor scratches, which makes it more expensive. There is also a PU material, similar in function to TPU but lacking the self-healing feature.

How Far Can You Drive After an Oil Change Reminder?

After receiving an oil change reminder, the car can still be driven, but the distance should not be too long. Composition of Engine Oil: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, giving it new properties. Engine oil is an essential component of a car. The engine is the heart of a car, containing many metal parts that move against each other at high speeds, in harsh environments, and at high temperatures. Function of Engine Oil: Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, has a density of approximately 0.91×103 (kg/m3). It lubricates and reduces friction, assists in cooling, seals against leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and dampens vibrations. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Types of Engine Oil: Gasoline engine oils are divided into mineral oils and synthetic oils, with synthetic oils further categorized into semi-synthetic and full-synthetic oils.

Can I Get a Refund If I Haven't Taken the Driving Test After One Year of Enrollment?

You can get a refund if you haven't taken the driving test after one year of enrollment. Refund conditions: If you haven't undergone a medical examination or failed the medical examination after enrollment and request a withdrawal, the corresponding service fee will be deducted. Due to the driving school's reasons: If you haven't attended the theoretical training for Subject 1 or if the driving school fails to arrange Subject 2 training within 60 days after completing Subject 1, a full refund should be issued. If the training institution still doesn't arrange Subject 3 (road test) training within 90 days after completing Subject 2, 50% of the training fee will be refunded. Due to personal reasons: If you have completed Subject 1 but haven't attended Subject 2 training (which includes reverse parking, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns) due to personal reasons, the training fee will be refunded after deducting the textbook fee and theoretical training fee. No refund will be issued if you have completed Subject 2 training but haven't attended Subject 3 training due to personal reasons, or if you exceed the stipulated time limit. If you request a refund after passing the optional subject test but before the road test, the tuition fee will not be refunded.

What are the speed requirements for gear shifting in Subject 3?

In the Subject 3 driving test, the gear and speed requirements are as follows: first gear for 0~20 km/h, shift to second gear at 15~20 km/h, shift to third gear at 25~30 km/h, shift to fourth gear at 35~40 km/h, and shift to fifth gear at 45~50 km/h. Below are some related details: 1. Notes: When shifting gears, if the clutch is not fully depressed, it may be difficult to engage the gear or cause abnormal clicking sounds. If the gear is engaged before the clutch is fully depressed or after releasing the clutch, the gear lever will feel heavy regardless of the gear, and forcing it may damage the gears, produce loud noises, or even cause the engine to stall. 2. Dangerous behaviors: During the test, candidates must not look down at the gear lever, as this will be penalized if caught on camera. In real driving, looking down is highly dangerous and can lead to accidents at any moment. Therefore, it is essential to develop the habit of shifting gears without looking down during driving lessons.

What causes the car to shake between 30-40 mph but disappear after acceleration?

The reasons for car shaking between 30-40 mph that disappears after acceleration are as follows: Severe engine carbon buildup: The most common cause of car shaking is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. Solution: Clean the fuel system and check if the idle speed motor has carbon buildup that needs cleaning. It's recommended to use BOD's 'Fuel System Cleaner' - simply add it to the fuel tank during refueling to achieve fuel system cleaning effects. Ignition system issues: Check the working condition of spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or bad spark plug firing can also cause this type of fault. Solution: Check if spark plugs have excessive carbon buildup and replace them if necessary. Unstable fuel pressure: It's recommended to visit a 4S shop to check fuel supply pressure and intake pressure sensors. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings/malfunction of intake pressure sensors can cause vehicle shaking. Solution: Check fuel pressure and replace components if necessary.
