Castrol Magnetec 5w40 is a fully synthetic oil. Introduction to synthetic oil: Synthetic oil can be divided into semi-synthetic oil and fully synthetic oil. Fully synthetic oil contains no mineral oil components, while semi-synthetic oil contains some. The main differences between them are: fully synthetic oil has a wider temperature range and longer service life; for the same oil film requirements, synthetic oil can achieve this with lower viscosity, while semi-synthetic oil requires relatively higher viscosity to meet the same requirements. In other words, in the same working environment, fully synthetic oil can protect the engine with lower viscosity. Similarly, in the same working environment, fully synthetic oil has a much longer service life than semi-synthetic oil, so although the cost is higher, when considering the number of oil changes, it is not much more expensive than mineral oil. Characteristics of fully synthetic oil: Fully synthetic oil has better high and low temperature performance; has a longer oil change interval; and is suitable for more severe vehicle conditions.

Will Temporary License Plates Be Captured for Traffic Violations?

New vehicles with temporary license plates do not have embedded electronic chips, so they are generally not captured by electronic traffic violation monitoring systems, mainly because the photos are too blurry, unless on-site police officers conduct inspections. However, high-definition cameras can clearly capture temporary plates. Due to occasional manpower shortages in traffic police departments, some violations may not be promptly addressed, but this does not mean drivers can evade responsibility. Traffic police can also check the chassis and vehicle identification numbers (VIN) on-site for registration, so vehicle owners who park illegally should be cautious. The following situations involving temporary license plates may also result in penalties: 1. Failure to display temporary license plates as required: 12 demerit points and a fine of 200 yuan. 2. Using expired temporary license plates: Typically, a fine of 200 yuan and 12 demerit points will be imposed.
