It is normal for a car to run 10,000 kilometers a year. Notes: As a mechanical product, it is very normal for a car to run 10,000 kilometers a year. If it is parked for a long time without being driven, the internal parts of the car will age, which can easily lead to some malfunctions. The car may even develop abnormal noises, and the battery power will gradually deplete. Prolonged parking may result in the car failing to start. Maintenance: The first year of a new car is the break-in period. During this time, avoid aggressive driving and ensure timely maintenance of the car.

Driving 10,000 kilometers a year is completely normal. Based on my own driving experience, if you're an average car owner who commutes daily or occasionally goes on trips, this mileage is absolutely within the normal range. On average, driving about 30 kilometers a day can easily reach this figure, especially in big cities where many people's round-trip commutes add up to tens of kilometers, naturally accumulating to 10,000 kilometers over a year. The key lies in vehicle maintenance—regular oil changes and checking tire wear are crucial to prevent minor issues from turning into major problems. Cars are designed to be driven, and with proper maintenance, even reaching 20,000 kilometers isn't a big deal. Don't worry about the car breaking down; the key is how you use and protect it.

Is a tire manufactured 8 months ago considered a stock tire?

Tires manufactured 8 months ago are not considered stock tires. Tire Introduction: Although tires are rubber products with a certain 'shelf life,' they do not have an expiration date like food products. This is because the lifespan of a tire is highly dependent on its usage conditions. Stock Tire Introduction: Tires that have been in storage for over a year are considered stock tires, and those manufactured three years ago are considered expired tires. There is a set of numbers on the sidewall of the tire; the last four digits of this set represent the manufacturing date. The first two digits indicate the week of the year, and the last two digits represent the year. By calculating these numbers, you can determine whether a tire is a stock tire.

Why Do Windshield Wipers Stop Working in Snowy Weather?

This happens because the wipers are frozen. First, thaw them out and then replace the windshield washer fluid with an antifreeze type. When parking for extended periods in snowy conditions, lift the wipers up to prevent them from freezing. Solution by Warming Up the Car: Start by warming up the car. Once the engine coolant temperature rises, use the heater to warm the windshield, and the wipers will naturally thaw. Solution Using Alcohol: You can wipe the wipers with alcohol to effectively prevent them from freezing to the windshield. If alcohol is not available, everyday drinking liquor can also serve as a substitute and provide decent results.
