It should be replaced after driving 40,000 kilometers or every two years. Regularly changing the vehicle's transmission lubricating oil ensures the normal operation of the transmission, helps save fuel consumption to some extent, and extends the service life of the motor vehicle. Introduction to CVT transmission: 1. Overview: CVT is a type of transmission for motor vehicles, also known as a continuously variable transmission. The biggest difference from other transmissions is that it uses a continuous value, providing better fuel economy, power, and driving smoothness for motor vehicles. It is one of the more stable transmissions available. Its working principle involves driving a large pulley with a steel belt connected to small pulleys. 2. Transmission brands: The transmission is mainly used by Japanese brands, which widely adopt CVT transmissions. These transmissions offer excellent stability during use. Although the related technology may not be as advanced as dual-clutch transmissions, CVT transmissions have a lower failure rate, making them highly suitable for use.

Vehicle scrapping process: The vehicle owner must fill out and stamp an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping." Apply at the registration counter to receive a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles not yet at the scrapping period, the vehicle inspection counter will assess and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" if the vehicle meets scrapping standards.
