Modifying the exhaust system is illegal. While policies on vehicle modifications have been relaxed, giving factory-modified vehicles legal status, the new regulations stipulate that registered motor vehicles must apply for modification registration with the local vehicle management office under the following circumstances: 1. Changing the vehicle body color; 2. Replacing the engine; 3. Replacing the vehicle body or frame; 4. Replacing the entire vehicle due to quality issues; 5. The vehicle owner's residence moves out of or into the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Here is some additional information: According to the new regulations, owners are allowed to make changes such as altering the vehicle color, installing body kits, or replacing the engine without prior application to the vehicle management office, but must apply for modification registration within 10 days after the changes are made.

Can I exchange an old car for a new one of a different brand?

You can exchange cars of different brands. The car exchange program allows consumers to purchase a new car from a brand dealer by using the assessed value of their used car plus additional payment. There are no restrictions requiring the exchange to be within the same brand. Introduction to car exchange: It is a service where consumers use the assessed value of their used car plus additional payment to purchase a new car from a brand dealer. Since manufacturers participating in the exchange program have good reputations and high-quality services, their brand dealers can also provide consumers with a sense of trust and more transparent, secure, and convenient services. Therefore, more and more consumers who want to upgrade to a new car are interested in trying this emerging service. Things to note: To facilitate the exchange of your old car, before going to a 4S store for an evaluation, make sure all vehicle documents are complete. These include the original ID card and a copy, the original vehicle purchase invoice or the last transfer invoice and a copy, the original vehicle registration certificate and a copy, and the original vehicle license and a copy.

What Are the Differences in Wheel Sizes?

The differences in wheel sizes lie in handling sensitivity, stability, and comfort. The specific details are as follows: Handling Sensitivity: Large-sized wheels are generally paired with low-profile tires, giving the entire wheel a higher lateral stiffness. This means that under conditions such as high-speed cornering where large lateral forces are applied, the wheel deforms less compared to standard wheels, thereby improving handling sensitivity. Stability: Larger wheels exhibit less tilt when the vehicle turns, enhancing handling. Wider tires with lower profiles provide greater stability and grip during high-speed driving. Comfort: Smaller wheels offer better comfort. For the same car model, the smaller the wheel, the taller the tire sidewall—simply put, the thicker the tire. While this may not look as aesthetically pleasing, it effectively reduces vehicle vibrations and tire noise.

How to Check if ETC is Usable?

Methods to check if ETC is functioning properly: Manually insert and remove the card; if there is a sound, it indicates that the ETC is in normal working condition. How ETC works: Through the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and dedicated short-range communication with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, the computer network technology is used to perform background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while paying the toll. Where ETC can be installed: For small vehicles such as cars and vans, the OBU device is installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part. ETC installation position requirements: The height should not be less than 1.2 meters or more than 2.5 meters; the installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the surface of the electronic tag and the horizontal plane).

Will the motorcycle driver's license application be automatically canceled if the learning period expires?

Applicants who learn to drive on the training ground and roads must obtain a learning driving certificate as required. The validity period of the learning driving certificate is three years, and applicants must complete the subject two and subject three tests within the validity period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the passed subjects will be invalidated. Motorcycle driver's license test: The motorcycle driver's license belongs to the E license, while small cars belong to the C license. If you apply for and participate in the motorcycle license test, it will affect the application for a small car license, and you will need to combine the licenses. If you have withdrawn the motorcycle license application, you can directly apply for the small car license without any impact. Motorcycle driving test opportunities: The motorcycle driving test also has two chances; if you fail once, you still have another opportunity. If you unfortunately fail, the retake fee is much cheaper than that for cars.

At which position on the dipstick is the engine oil level considered normal?

Car engine oil should be maintained between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. The method for checking the oil level and usage precautions are described as follows: Method for checking the oil level: Allow the oil to lubricate the car engine once, then wait for 10 or 30 minutes before checking the oil level on the dipstick. The height of the oil on the dipstick indicates the condition of the engine oil. Precautions for using engine oil: The selection of engine oil should be based on the requirements of the engine, choosing oil that matches the engine. Multi-grade oil is recommended as it offers advantages such as fuel efficiency, long service life, and high performance, providing better protection for the engine. The oil quantity should be slightly below the mark on the dipstick, avoiding overfilling.

What is the lifespan of a car with 300,000 kilometers?

A car with 300,000 kilometers is within its normal lifespan. Here is an introduction about car lifespan. 1. Theoretical driving lifespan of a car: Theoretically, as long as a car is properly maintained and used according to specifications, it can run over 1 million kilometers without issues. Currently, the car with the highest recorded mileage is a 1966 Volvo P18000S, which has traveled nearly 4.18 million kilometers. However, in reality, according to new vehicle regulations, small and micro non-operational passenger cars, large non-operational cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles have no usage time limit, with a maximum recommended scrapping mileage of 600,000 kilometers. 2. Factors affecting car lifespan: For most families, daily commuting is the primary use of a car, but the practicality and performance of the vehicle are equally important. In fact, every car is different, so there is no definitive number for how long a car can last. This depends on factors such as the owner's maintenance habits, driving habits, and road conditions.
