If your new car does not have temporary license plates, you can apply for a vehicle movement permit before proceeding with the license plate registration process. There are two ways to register your license plates: one is to go to the DMV yourself, and the other is to have the 4S dealership handle the registration for you, saving you the trip. Nowadays, most 4S dealerships offer "one-stop services," meaning that in addition to selling cars, they can also assist customers with license plate registration and paying purchase taxes, commonly referred to as "license plate fees." Below are some important points to note when registering license plates: 1. You will need the vehicle's certificate of conformity: When registering license plates at the DMV, the vehicle's certificate of conformity must be submitted to the DMV staff for archiving. 2. You will need the car purchase invoice: Whether you buy the car from a 4S dealership or an auto trader, you will receive a car purchase invoice after the purchase. This invoice must be kept safe, as without it, the car cannot be registered. When registering the license plates, the car purchase invoice must be presented to the DMV staff, and this invoice will also be archived.

Can 10w40 engine oil be used in winter?

10w40 engine oil can be used in winter, but it depends on the minimum winter temperature in the region where the vehicle is used. This can be understood by examining the specifications of 10W40 engine oil. Below is an expanded explanation: 1. Firstly, the number 10 represents the low-temperature startup performance indicator. The smaller the number, the better the low-temperature startup performance. A value of 10 indicates that the oil can ensure normal startup at -25°C. The "W" stands for "Winter," indicating that this oil is suitable for winter use. The number 40 represents the oil viscosity—the higher the number, the greater the viscosity, and the better the high-temperature performance and high-temperature shear resistance. Therefore, whether to use this type of oil depends on the minimum temperature in the region where the vehicle is located. 2. The American Petroleum Institute (API) has established a standard for labeling engine oils, typically using formats like 5W-30 or 0W-40. This labeling is divided into two parts: the part after the hyphen "-" represents the oil's high-temperature shear resistance at 100°C and also indicates the base viscosity of the oil. A higher number means greater shear resistance, thicker oil film, higher base viscosity, and poorer fluidity. Conversely, a lower number means lower shear resistance, thinner oil film, lower base viscosity, and better fluidity. The "W" before the hyphen stands for "Winter" and represents the oil's low-temperature fluidity, i.e., low-temperature startup performance. The smaller the number before the "W," the better the low-temperature fluidity and startup performance. Subtracting 35 from the number before the "W" gives the minimum startup temperature for that oil viscosity. For example, 5W indicates a minimum startup temperature of -30°C. From the above explanation, 40 has a higher base viscosity, while 30 has a lower base viscosity. The difference between 10W and 15W is that 10W has a minimum startup temperature of -25°C.

What is the installation method for a car's rear windshield?

The installation method for a car's rear windshield is as follows: 1. Remove the black protective strips around the windshield, then take off the protective cover beneath the windshield; 2. Carefully scrape off the black sealant adhered to the car until the color of the metal frame is exposed; 3. Apply polyurethane sealant to the frame of the car windshield; 4. Support the windshield on small brackets, then apply another layer of sealant around the windshield to adhere the black protective strips. Car windshields are primarily made of laminated tempered glass or laminated regional tempered glass, capable of withstanding strong impacts.

What to Do If the Car Won't Start the Day After Driving Through Water?

If your car didn't stall after driving through water but won't start normally the next day, it's recommended to take it to a professional repair shop for inspection. Here are possible causes: 1. Battery Discharge: A weak battery directly leads to difficulty starting or failure to start. Common issues include poor contact at the battery terminals or problems with the battery management system. 2. Ignition System: After ruling out battery issues, the next step is to check the car's 'ignition system,' which is crucial for starting. Faulty ignition coils or spark plugs can also prevent the car from starting.

Classification: In China, automotive gasoline is divided into unleaded and leaded categories. Unleaded gasoline has three octane ratings: 90, 93, and 95 RON (Research Octane Number). Leaded gasoline comes in three octane ratings: 90, 93, and 97 RON. Among them, the lead content in 90-grade gasoline does not exceed 0.35g/L, while 93 and 97-grade gasoline have a lead content not exceeding 0.45g/L.
