For small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles, within the first 6 years, inspection is required every 2 years. After 6 years, it becomes an annual inspection. For vehicles over 15 years old, inspection is required every 6 months. According to relevant regulations, the annual inspection date is based on the registration date shown on the vehicle license. From the date of initial registration, motor vehicles must undergo safety technical inspections (commonly referred to as "annual inspection" or "annual review") according to the following schedule. For non-commercial micro or small passenger vehicles, they are exempt from on-site inspection within the first 6 years, but the annual inspection sticker must be collected every 2 years. After 6 years, annual inspection is required, with the inspection month based on the registration month shown on the vehicle license. If the vehicle reaches 15 years of age, semi-annual inspections are required. For commercial passenger vehicles, annual inspection is mandatory every year. For vehicles over 5 years old, inspection is required every 6 months. For large commercial passenger vehicles and trucks, within the first 10 years, annual inspection is required. After 10 years, the inspection frequency changes to every 6 months. The inspection must be completed within the month when the current inspection expires, as clearly indicated in the supplementary page of the license. It's best not to exceed this deadline, as insurance companies will not provide compensation for accidents involving vehicles with expired inspections.

How are the grades of automotive engine oil classified?

Engine oil grades are classified based on their quality levels. This standard uses the letter "S" to represent oil for gasoline vehicles, with different grades of oil arranged alphabetically after the letter "S". The specific classifications and explanations of engine oil are as follows: Standalone letters: The "S" series represents oil for gasoline engines, with specifications including: SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL. The "C" series represents oil for diesel engines, with specifications including: CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CF, CF-2, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4. Coexistence: When both "S" and "C" letters are present, it indicates that the oil is suitable for both gasoline and diesel engines. From "SA" up to "SL", each subsequent letter indicates better performance than the previous one, with more additives in the oil to protect the engine. The later the letter in the alphabet, the higher the quality grade, and most international brands have oil grades above SF.

How Many Days Can a Beijing Entry Permit Be Valid?

For vehicles with non-Beijing license plates, the maximum validity period for a Beijing Entry Permit is 7 days. Specific application details: One day before expiration, on the expiration day, or one day after expiration, you can apply for a 5-day extension at the local traffic police detachment. After 12 days, if you still need the Beijing Entry Permit, you must go to a comprehensive checkpoint at the entrance of Beijing to reapply for a new 7-day permit. This process can be repeated. Additional information: Driving within the Fifth Ring Road without a Beijing Entry Permit will result in a fine and a 3-point deduction from the driver's license. If the vehicle with a Beijing Entry Permit commits non-on-site violations captured by surveillance cameras while driving in Beijing, these violations must be addressed before applying for a new permit. This includes violations of the tail number restriction policy, which can also be captured by surveillance cameras, with the same penalties applied to non-Beijing vehicles. If you are in the process of leaving the city, leniency is often granted, but if you stay, you will be penalized as if you had no permit.
