Storing engine oil in the trunk is safe. Engine oil is not classified as a hazardous material and is not flammable, so it can be safely stored in the trunk. It does not need to comply with regulations for hazardous material transportation or storage. However, lubricants are still chemical products, so safe storage and transportation should be ensured to avoid environmental pollution. Below are the characteristics of lubricants: 1. They are not flammable but are considered combustible. 2. They are not strongly corrosive. 3. They are not volatile. 4. They do not have packaging difficulties. 5. They do not pose storage or transportation challenges.

How Long is the Warranty for Car Batteries?

Here is additional information: 1. Warranty Period: The warranty period is calculated from the date of vehicle purchase. The battery is classified as a wear-and-tear component, and such components have their own separate warranty periods. There are a total of sixteen parts categorized as wear-and-tear components, each with different warranty durations. The battery has a one-year warranty, and if any issues arise within this period, it can be replaced free of charge. 2. Battery Lifespan: Most modern cars use sealed, maintenance-free batteries, which generally do not allow for the replenishment or inspection of electrolyte or electrode plates. You can check the color of the observation window on the battery—normally, it should appear green. The lifespan of a battery depends on factors such as the vehicle's configuration and electrical equipment. For example, vehicles equipped with navigation systems, multi-screen displays, or remote security features continue to consume power even when the engine is off, leading to prolonged battery discharge and accelerated depletion of electrode plates and electrolyte. As a result, batteries in such vehicles tend to last only 2–3 years, whereas batteries in some other vehicles may last 4–5 years.

How to Buy Insurance for a Second-hand Car That Has Just Been Transferred?

After the original owner of a second-hand car that has just been transferred completes the cancellation procedures for the insurance, the new owner can then go to any insurance company to reapply for car insurance. Below are the relevant details: 1. Required insurance: Compulsory traffic insurance must be purchased as it is a mandatory insurance stipulated by national law. Additionally, commercial insurance such as vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, and no-deductible insurance are highly recommended. 2. Regulations: The new "Insurance Law" stipulates that the new owner can directly inherit the insurance of the original owner without having to go to the insurance company to complete the transfer procedures. It also stipulates that after the vehicle is transferred, the original owner or the new owner should promptly notify the insurance company. Since the transfer of the vehicle may increase the risk level, the insurance company can increase the insurance premium or terminate the contract within 30 days according to the contract agreement.

What are the reasons for the car rolling back in Subject 2?

There are two main reasons for the car rolling back in Subject 2: rolling backward and stalling. Below are detailed explanations and solutions: 1. Rolling backward: When parking on a slope, even if the handbrake is pulled, the car may roll backward once the foot brake is released, which is caused by the handbrake not being tightened sufficiently. Solution: To prevent the car from rolling backward. When starting the vehicle, slowly release the clutch with the left foot. When the front of the car noticeably shakes, gradually release the brake with the right foot. Once the brake is fully released, slightly lift the clutch a little more with the left foot and hold it steady. Then, release the handbrake with the right hand, and the car will start moving forward. 2. Stalling: When starting the car on a slope, if the left foot releases the clutch too quickly, the car will stall. Releasing the clutch too quickly is the root cause of engine stalling. Solution: To prevent the car from stalling. When starting the vehicle, the left foot must slowly release the clutch and pause at the semi-engaged position. Once the clutch reaches the semi-engaged position, keep it steady, then gradually release the brake with the right foot.

Disconnect all control wires connected to the controller, leaving only the power supply wires connected to the controller and the wires linking the controller to the motor. Use tweezers to short-circuit the +5V and signal terminals of the connector linked to the throttle handle, then observe whether the motor rotates. If the motor operates normally, there is no fault.
