It is not necessary to purchase the extended warranty service, as Lexus boasts high reliability and convenient after-sales maintenance. Below is an introduction to Lexus: 1. Lexus Sold in China: 90% of the Lexus vehicles sold in China are produced at the Kyushu Plant in Fukuoka, Japan. There are only two Toyota-certified plants worldwide, and the Kyushu Plant is one of them. 2. Lexus Production Time: At the Kyushu Plant, it takes a total of 19 hours to complete the production of a Lexus vehicle, from the initial stamping to the final assembly and inspection of nearly 30,000 parts. The painting process alone takes about 10 hours, while assembly and inspection take approximately 5 hours. 3. All Lexus Models Are Produced to A-Grade Standards: Toyota internally categorizes its production standards into four grades: A, B, C, and D, with D being the lowest. Vehicles produced to D-grade standards include all of Toyota's compact cars and some large vehicles supplied to the U.S. market, such as the Yaris series, Vios series, and Highlander. The C-grade standard applies to Toyota's mainstream models, such as the Camry and Avalon. The B-grade standard is used for the Crown, while the A-grade standard is reserved for the Crown Majesta and all Lexus models.

As a long-time Lexus owner for over five years, I can attest to the car's reliability, but the extended warranty service was truly worth it. When my new car passed the three-year manufacturer warranty, the salesperson recommended the extended warranty. Considering Lexus is a luxury brand with notoriously expensive parts—a single electronic system repair can easily cost thousands—I opted for the manufacturer's extended warranty, which covers major components like the engine and transmission, giving me great peace of mind. Last year, when my air conditioning failed during the extended warranty period, it was replaced for free, saving me a significant expense. My advice: base your decision on your driving habits—if you drive a lot (e.g., 20,000 km annually) or frequently encounter rough road conditions, an extended warranty is absolutely cost-effective. Of course, pricing depends on the package, but spending 10,000–20,000 RMB for 3–5 years of worry-free coverage is a worthwhile investment compared to sudden repair bills derailing your budget.

Why is the driving license score 0 points?

If the driving license score is 0, it means there are no violation records, which is a normal status. The demerit points for motor vehicles are accumulated based on each infraction: 1. If the driver's demerit points do not reach 12 within a scoring cycle and all fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. If the points are below 12 but fines remain unpaid, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. 2. If the accumulated demerit points reach 12 within a scoring cycle, the driver's license will be confiscated by the vehicle management office, and the driver must attend a seven-day course on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security authority where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days. 3. If a driver accumulates demerit points exceeding 12 twice or more, or the total points exceed 24 within a scoring cycle, the vehicle management office must also conduct a road driving skills test within 10 days after the driver passes the exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge.

What Causes a Car to Emit Large Amounts of White Smoke from the Exhaust?

Detailed reasons and solutions for a car emitting large amounts of white smoke from the exhaust are as follows: 1. Excessive moisture in gasoline: When there is too much moisture in the gasoline, since water cannot burn, it will be expelled through the exhaust pipe, causing white smoke. Solution: Use higher-quality gasoline. 2. Damaged cylinder head gasket: If the cylinder head gasket is damaged, it will cause poor sealing between the cylinder block and the cylinder head, allowing moisture to flow into the cylinder or even directly into the oil passages. Solution: Replace the cylinder head gasket. 3. Normal phenomenon: White smoke appears during cold starts, but as the engine temperature rises, the white smoke disappears. In this case, the white smoke is caused by the engine burning efficiently, and the hot steam meeting cold air, which is a normal phenomenon.

What are the fuel-saving methods for the 7th generation Accord?

The vehicle's load weight will increase fuel consumption, and it is also advisable to avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration, and frequent braking. Another crucial point is the road conditions during travel. If the traffic conditions are too complex, try to choose well-maintained, open, and flat roads for driving, which should help alleviate fuel consumption. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Factors involved: Fuel consumption issues involve many factors, and increased fuel consumption is related to weather conditions, whether cold or hot. 2. Winter fuel consumption: Due to low environmental temperatures, the engine takes longer to reach normal operating temperature, and the air-fuel mixture is richer during low temperatures, resulting in higher fuel consumption in winter compared to other seasons.

How to Determine the Quality of Engine Oil?

Engine oil quality can be checked by the following methods: 1. Packaging: Genuine engine oil packaging is meticulous, with no blurred logos or unclear patterns. If the packaging appears fuzzy or the material is rough, it is likely counterfeit oil. 2. Seal: The seal is made of foil with the brand logo and provides an effective seal. If the seal is not tight, it may be fake oil. 3. Color: Genuine oil has a bright, clear color and flows smoothly when poured, with no suspended particles or impurities. Fake oil appears dull and may contain cloudy substances. 4. Smell: Genuine oil is odorless. If there is a pungent or unusual smell, the oil may not be genuine and could contain other substances.
