Gear oil and transmission oil are essentially the same, but they are referred to differently based on their application locations. Gear oil is typically used in gear transmission mechanisms such as automotive steering gears, transmissions, and drive axles. Transmission oil is a lubricant that maintains the cleanliness of a vehicle's transmission. Due to the high surface pressure during gear transmission, gear oil plays a crucial role in lubricating gears, resisting wear, cooling, heat dissipation, preventing corrosion and rust, cleaning, reducing gear surface impact and noise, among other functions. Transmission oil is a lubricant that ensures the cleanliness of a vehicle's transmission, guaranteeing normal operation and extending the lifespan of the transmission system. Depending on the transmission structure, it is further categorized into automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and manual transmission oil.

Can vehicle annual inspection be conducted in another location?

Vehicles can undergo annual inspection in another location. Since September 1, 2018, cross-province off-site inspections have been fully implemented for small cars, trucks, and medium-sized buses. Applicants can directly conduct inspections and obtain inspection qualification marks in provinces other than the motor vehicle registration location without the need to go through entrusted inspection procedures. Issues to note for off-site annual inspections include: 1. The procedural requirements for off-site entrusted annual inspections mandate that the vehicle owner must first apply to the original registration location before proceeding with the annual review, and an application must be submitted to the vehicle management office of the original vehicle registration location every year; 2. The motor vehicle involves unprocessed road traffic safety violations and accidents.

Can vehicle annual inspection be conducted across provinces?

Vehicle annual inspection can indeed be conducted across provinces. After the implementation of the new regulations, cross-regional vehicle inspections are divided into intra-provincial and inter-provincial inspections. The procedures for intra-provincial inspections are the same as those for local inspections. For inter-provincial inspections, the vehicle owner needs to return to the registration location of the vehicle to obtain a cross-regional inspection authorization letter before returning to the location where the vehicle is used to undergo the annual inspection. The required materials for cross-regional inspections are as follows: 1. Original ID card or the original ID card of the agent; 2. Original vehicle registration certificate; 3. Copy of compulsory traffic insurance; 4. Proof of vehicle and vessel tax. In September 2018, the requirement for a cross-regional inspection authorization letter was abolished for inter-provincial vehicle inspections. Starting from September 2018, vehicles can undergo annual inspections in any city nationwide following the standard procedures.

Can a Car's Engine Be Replaced?

A car's engine can be replaced as long as the replacement engine has a valid certification. However, due to the complexity of engine replacement procedures, it is advisable to have the replacement done at an authorized auto repair shop with the necessary qualifications. After the replacement, the change must be registered with the local vehicle management office. Once registered, the car can still undergo annual inspections and be driven legally on the road. Since the engine is the powertrain of a car, often referred to as the heart of the vehicle, providing the necessary power, it is crucial to maintain it properly in daily use.
