It is not a problem if the coolant exceeds the maximum line. Coolant prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or head when the car is parked in cold winter. It is commonly believed that coolant is only used in winter, but in fact, coolant should be used all year round. Coolant is a type of cooling agent with special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It has excellent properties such as anti-freezing in winter, anti-boiling in summer, and preventing scale and corrosion throughout the year. The method for replacing coolant: 1. Inspection: Before replacing the antifreeze, conduct a comprehensive inspection of the pipelines for any signs of leakage or cracks; 2. Draining: After draining the old antifreeze, clean the channels with clean water until the water flowing out is clear; 3. Refilling: About one hour after draining, add the new antifreeze through the radiator cap until the antifreeze tank is nearly full. Start the car and let it run for about 10 minutes. At this time, the coolant level will drop slightly as some air is expelled from the cooling system. Then, add more antifreeze until it reaches the maximum mark MAX on the reservoir.

How to re-register for a driver's license if you fail the test?

If you fail to pass the driving test within the three-year period, you need to re-register with a driving school. The purpose of registering with a driving school is to establish a file that records specialized training, documenting that you have learned to drive at the school. Taking the driver's license test requires registration through a driving school, so if you need to retake the test, you must also re-register with a driving school. If you don't complete all tests within the three-year period, your previous file will be canceled. Additional information: Failing five times only applies to Subject 2 and Subject 3. Subject 1 and Subject 4 are computer-based tests with unlimited attempts. If you fail Subject 2 or Subject 5 times in a row, all previous test scores will be invalidated, and you must pay the fees again to re-register and follow the exam process to reschedule the tests. You can only obtain your driver's license after passing all subjects.

How to Determine if a Car Scratch is New or an Old One?

If it's a new scratch, you can feel significant unevenness when touching the scratched area with your hand. For an old scratch, it won't feel the same. Below are methods to handle scratches of varying degrees: 1. Fine hairline scratches: Even dust and sand particles in the air can cause subtle hairline scratches on the car's paint surface when driving at high speeds. These can be observed as faint lines under reflected light but are usually not detectable by touch. Such hairline scratches can be easily removed with a wax containing fine-cut abrasives, such as mirror polish wax. Since the abrasives are as fine as the nanometer level, they won't damage the original protective layer of the paint. 2. Light scratches: Upon careful touching of the car body, you'll feel the scratch is very shallow with only slight indentation. This type only damages the transparent layer of the paint surface. Using fine abrasive wax, you can repair such light scratches yourself by rearranging the molecules of the surface paint, effectively filling the scratch with surrounding paint. 3. Moderate scratches: If the scratch is clearly visible and reaches the colored paint layer, the best approach is to take the car to a professional auto repair shop. Attempting to fix it yourself may result in more scratches during the polishing process.
