Yes, it is a problem. Not changing the transmission fluid for 12 years will cause friction in the transmission, generating fine debris and impurities, making the transmission fluid turbid and reducing its performance. Below is an introduction to the transmission: 1. Introduction: The transmission, also known as the gearbox, is a car component used to change the speed and torque from the engine, and it can fix or change the transmission ratio of the output shaft and input shaft in steps. 2. Structure: The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism. Some cars also have a power output mechanism. It can be divided into stepped, continuously variable, and integrated transmissions, with functions such as enabling reverse driving, interrupting power transmission, and changing transmission ratios. 3. Function: Changing the transmission ratio to expand the range of torque and speed changes of the driving wheels to adapt to frequently changing driving conditions, while allowing the engine to operate under favorable conditions (higher power and lower fuel consumption).

What happens if a car is not maintained for a long time?

Consequences of long-term lack of car maintenance: 1. The car paint is prone to damage, especially in summer when the weather is hot, and UV rays can corrode the car paint, making the car look old quickly; 2. If the air filter exceeds its replacement range, it will lose its ability to filter air impurities, failing to protect the engine's internal pistons, intake and exhaust valves, piston rings, and cylinders; 3. Tires will age faster, and in severe cases, may lose air or become unusable; 4. If the car is left unused for a long time, the oxidation of engine oil will be more severe than during normal driving. Oxidized oil has reduced lubrication effectiveness, failing to protect the engine, and certain acidic substances in the oil can corrode engine components, affecting the engine's normal operation.

What procedures are required for transferring a car between relatives?

Car transfer between relatives requires the following specific procedures: 1. Vehicle license; 2. Motor vehicle registration certificate; 3. Motor vehicle registration supplementary form (obtained from the local vehicle management office in the vehicle's jurisdiction, bring ID card and vehicle license to obtain); 4. Vehicle purchase tax certificate; 5. ID cards and household registration books of both the buyer and seller. If the buyer is from another region, a temporary residence permit is required, and the buyer's temporary residence permit must be valid for at least one year. Both parties and the vehicle must be present at the vehicle management office where the license plate is registered to apply for the transfer. Additionally, the vehicle owner must ensure that all traffic violations and accidents involving the vehicle have been resolved, and all vehicle documents are complete. Both parties must have their ID cards, and those with non-local household registration must have a local residence permit.

What Happens If a Car Is Left Outside Exposed to Sun and Rain for a Long Time?

If a car is left outdoors exposed to sun and rain, its lifespan will be reduced. The battery will drain, making it impossible to start the car. Below are the issues that may arise from prolonged outdoor parking: Engine Oil Oxidation and Deterioration: Generally, the engine oil in a new car has a shelf life of about one year inside the engine. Due to contamination in the engine oil, prolonged inactivity can accelerate oxidation and deterioration. Moisture, such as water vapor, can quickly emulsify the oil if it enters the system. Brake System Corrosion: When the brake system remains inactive for an extended period, it is prone to chemical reactions with water vapor and oxygen in the air, leading to corrosion. This affects braking performance, and severe corrosion may even cause direct damage to the brake system.

What Does Car Resonance Feel Like?

Car resonance refers to the phenomenon where the vibration frequency of the car reaches the resonance frequency when driving at a certain speed, causing severe shaking of the car body. The reasons include the following: 1. If the car has been used for a long time, the rubber in the engine mounts may fatigue and age due to high temperatures, easily causing resonance. In severe cases, there may even be a bumping and friction sound. 2. Engine misfire can also cause resonance in the engine. 3. Deformation or improper installation of the engine guard plate can lead to engine resonance, which is relatively common and easy to resolve. 4. Another situation is car resonance caused by issues with the idle control system.

What is CBS in vehicles?

CBS stands for Combination-Braking-System (Combined Braking System). Here is the relevant introduction about CBS: 1. The CBS braking system can simultaneously brake the front and rear wheels with a single hand or foot operation. By reasonably distributing the braking force between the front and rear wheels, it achieves higher braking efficiency, resulting in greater deceleration, reduced braking distance, and ensuring that high-speed vehicles can stop safely, quickly, and smoothly. 2. CBS is an onboard monitoring system that uses numerous sensors and precise calculations to provide real-time monitoring of the vehicle's condition. It can intelligently assess the vehicle's maintenance needs based on different customers' driving habits, vehicle mileage, climate, and the consumption status of parts and engine oil, and provide timely feedback to the owner.
