After 6 years, vehicles should be inspected every 2 years. The specific annual inspection regulations are as follows: Small and micro passenger vehicles: Non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats (under 10 seats) enjoy a 6-year exemption from inspection. Within 6 years, they are exempt from on-site inspection but need to obtain an annual inspection sticker every 2 years; after 6 years (including the 6th year), they should undergo on-site inspection every 2 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Operational passenger vehicles: Operational passenger vehicles should be inspected annually within 5 years; after 5 years, they should be inspected every 6 months. Large and medium-sized passenger vehicles: Trucks and large or medium non-operational passenger vehicles should be inspected annually within 10 years; after 10 years, they should be inspected every 6 months.

Why is the antifreeze decreasing more and more?

The reasons for the decreasing antifreeze: 1. Damage to the radiator cylinder gasket; 2. Loose connections at the overflow tank, water pump joint surface, and various pipelines of the cooling system; 3. Evaporation under high temperatures. If there is a lack of antifreeze, the primary issue is the loss of effective cooling, which can easily lead to overheating during high-speed operation. Additionally, the viscosity of the engine oil will decrease, leading to wear and tear on engine components over time. The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or head during cold winter parking.

Does Antifreeze Get Consumed?

Antifreeze does get consumed over time. It is considered a consumable item, and under continuous high temperatures, some degree of evaporation is inevitable. Additionally, antifreeze loss can occur due to leaks. Damaged radiator gaskets, overflow tanks, loose connections at the water pump interface, or other cooling system pipe fittings may lead to antifreeze leakage. In such cases, it is essential to visit the nearest auto repair shop promptly for repairs. Insufficient antifreeze can have varying degrees of negative effects. If the antifreeze level is too low (below the MIN mark), the cooling efficiency will be significantly reduced. This can easily lead to overheating (excessive temperature) during high-speed operation, and the viscosity of the engine oil will also decrease. Over time, this can cause wear and tear on engine components.

How Much Does Turning on the Air Conditioner Reduce the Range of an Electric Vehicle?

When driving an electric vehicle at a constant speed of 60km/h, the theoretical range with the air conditioner ON will decrease to 80% of the range when the air conditioner is OFF. Here is some extended knowledge about pure electric vehicles: 1. Consumption: Since pure electric vehicles do not have an engine, they cannot utilize the residual heat from the engine to provide warm air like fuel-powered vehicles. Instead, the heating system in pure electric vehicles relies on a high-voltage resistance heating module (PTC heater) installed in front of the air conditioning blower. This module converts electrical energy into thermal energy to supply warm air to the cabin, similar to the principle of a hair dryer. Therefore, keeping the heater on while driving consumes a significant amount of battery power, approximately 5 kWh per hour. 2. Compressor: Using the air conditioner for cooling in summer is much more efficient. The cooling system in pure electric vehicles also utilizes a compressor, but the compressor's power is only 2-3 kW. Once the cabin temperature stabilizes, the compressor's power reduces to around 1 kW. As a result, running the air conditioner for cooling in summer consumes about 2 kWh per hour. Based on this calculation, a fully charged battery can still provide a range of over 210 kilometers even with the air conditioner on.

Can I add antifreeze by myself if it's not enough?

You can add antifreeze by yourself if it's not enough, but it must be of the same type. If antifreeze of the same brand is not available, you can temporarily supplement with distilled water or purified water. Never mix different types of antifreeze to avoid chemical reactions, sedimentation, or bubble formation, which can damage rubber seals. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing in cold winter when the car is parked, thereby avoiding the risk of cracking the radiator or freezing the engine cylinder block. Many people think that antifreeze is only used in winter, but in fact, antifreeze should be used all year round. Antifreeze is a type of coolant with special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It has excellent properties such as preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and providing waterproofing and anti-corrosion protection all year round.
