Maintenance can be chosen according to your own needs, either at a 4S shop or an external repair shop. The relevant introduction to car maintenance is as follows: Content of minor maintenance: Minor maintenance generally refers to the routine maintenance items performed at the time or mileage specified by the manufacturer to ensure vehicle performance after the car has traveled a certain distance, mainly including oil and oil filter replacement. Interval of minor maintenance: The timing of minor maintenance depends on the effective time or mileage of the oil and oil filter used. The validity periods of mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil vary by brand and grade. Please follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

What to Do If You Forget to Renew Your Driver's License?

If your driver's license has expired, delaying renewal for a few days is generally fine. However, it's best not to exceed three years after expiration; otherwise, your license will be revoked. Below are specific scenarios for an expired driver's license: 1. Renewal overdue by more than one year: If your driver's license is in an expired but not renewed state, you can bring your ID card, the expired license, and a health condition certificate issued by a county-level or above medical institution to the DMV to renew it. No additional exams are required to obtain the new license. 2. License expired for more than one year but less than three years: During this two-year period, the license is in a "revocable but recoverable" state. This means the license is technically revoked but can still be reinstated. The driver only needs to pass the written test (Subject 1) at the DMV to proceed with the renewal. 3. License expired for more than three years: At this point, the license status is "revoked," meaning the driving privilege is canceled and cannot be restored. The driver must reapply and retake all exams to obtain a new driver's license.

Why is the car so noisy?

It may be caused by driving habits. Frequently driving at low RPM and high gear can easily lead to incomplete combustion, resulting in carbon deposits and increased engine noise. Here is more information about excessive car noise: 1. Solutions: Tighten or replace the engine mounts; check each ignition coil and cylinder spark plug; it is recommended to go to a 4S shop for targeted treatment, such as engine cleaning to remove carbon deposits. 2.

What is the fuel consumption of the Changan CS15?

The official combined fuel consumption (L/100km) provided by Changan for the CS15 is 5.9-6.5L/100km. Below is related information about the Changan CS15's fuel consumption: 1. Explanation: Most of the time, it is difficult to avoid congested road conditions, especially in urban areas where traffic jams are most common on roads with many traffic lights. Additionally, frequent acceleration and deceleration while following other vehicles are unavoidable, leading to particularly high fuel consumption under such conditions. It is recommended to develop a good habit of regularly checking the dashboard to spot any abnormalities early and address issues promptly. 2. Fuel consumption calculation: Vehicle fuel consumption is calculated based on the fuel consumed per 100 kilometers (usually referred to as 100 km). The method for calculating actual fuel consumption: Average fuel consumption = (Total fuel added - Last fuel added) / Distance traveled.

Where to Register a New Car?

License plate registration should be processed at the local vehicle management office. Here are some relevant details about license plate registration: 1. Exemption from inspection does not mean direct registration: New cars exempt from inspection does not imply they can be registered directly. Currently, only certain inspection items are waived. New vehicles must still undergo appearance checks, photography, and VIN tracing at the inspection station before registration. Additionally, emissions testing for environmental purposes is still required. 2. Vehicle types not included in the exemption: Exemptions do not apply to off-road vehicles, small and micro ordinary passenger cars, or medium and heavy-duty trucks.

What lights should be turned on in a car during snowy days?

In snowy conditions, you can turn on the headlights, position lights, and rear position lights. The explanation is as follows: 1. Relevant regulations: Article 58 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates: When motor vehicles are driving at night without street lights, poor lighting, or encountering low visibility conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, they should turn on the headlights, position lights, and rear position lights. However, high beams should not be used when the following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction. 2. Precautions for driving in snowy conditions: While driving, always pay attention to the surrounding vehicles and pedestrians, and maintain a sufficient distance from the vehicle in front. Be prepared to brake in advance. When you notice the distance to the vehicle in front is decreasing, slow down and place your foot on the brake pedal in preparation for braking.

Why is the engine sound of the Mercedes-Benz E300 relatively loud?

Mercedes-Benz E300 engine noise is often caused by the car not being serviced for too long, resulting in excessive carbon deposits in the engine. Timely maintenance is required, as carbon deposits can also easily lead to excessive fuel consumption. Carbon deposits: As old engine oil becomes thinner with use, carbon deposits accumulate more and more. Thin engine oil can easily lead to oil leakage, causing more carbon deposits and significant power loss. When new oil is added, the engine may not adapt to the oil viscosity immediately, potentially causing higher RPMs and resulting in louder engine noise. Poor sound insulation: If the engine sounds normal from the outside but the noise feels loud inside the car, it indicates poor sound insulation. The vehicle's sealing strips should be checked for signs of aging. Alternatively, improving the vehicle's sealing effect and then testing the noise level again is recommended.
