Power steering fluid and transmission fluid are not the same. Transmission fluid can be used as power steering fluid in cars, but power steering fluid cannot be used as transmission fluid. The main component of transmission fluid is lubricating oil, and the additives used in transmission fluid and power steering fluid are different. Transmission fluid and power steering fluid are absolutely not interchangeable. The main function of transmission fluid is to keep the gear system clean, lubricate the car's transmission device, and extend its service life. Power steering fluid is mainly used to increase driving comfort, automatically providing steering force when the driver is operating the vehicle, making the driving process easier and reducing steering fatigue for the driver.

How Many Days Are Highways Free During Mid-Autumn Festival?

Free for 8 days, details are as follows: 1. Highway free period regulations: From 00:00 on October 1, 2020 to 24:00 on October 8, 2020, totaling 8 days. 2. Free period rules: Starts at 00:00 on the first day of the holiday and ends at 24:00 on the last day of the holiday. 3. Standards for highway free passage: For ordinary roads, the time is determined when the vehicle passes through the toll lane of the toll station. For highways, the time is determined when the vehicle exits the toll lane. Additional information: 1. Determining free eligibility: If a vehicle exits the toll lane during the free period, the entire trip is free. It is recommended not to wait in crowds for the free period to avoid 'artificial' congestion. 2. How highways operate during free periods No cards are issued at the entrance, and the exit barrier is lifted for passage. In previous years, congestion during highway free periods was caused by a sudden increase in vehicles on the road. Although free, cards were still issued, causing vehicles to slow down before entering the toll station and stop to receive a card.

Do I need to be present in person for license plate registration at a 4S dealership?

You do not need to be present in person for license plate registration at a 4S dealership. Car owners who register their license plates at a 4S dealership only need to select their license plate number online in advance. The rest can be handled by the 4S dealership without requiring the owner's presence. In addition to 4S dealerships handling the process, online services can also assist with out-of-town license plate registration. Below is a related introduction to the materials required for vehicle license plate registration: 1. Original and photocopy of ID card. If you are handling it on behalf of someone else, both your ID card and the car owner's ID card must be brought. 2. Original and photocopy of the invoice. 3. Original and photocopy of the vehicle qualification certificate. 4. Original and photocopy of the compulsory insurance policy. 5. Vehicle tax payment certificate, etc.

What Causes the Noise in the Car Dashboard?

The causes of noise in the car dashboard are as follows: 1. The noise in the car dashboard may be due to prolonged use of the vehicle, leading to aging and loosening of internal components, which results in the noise. 2. Another situation is the occurrence of noise in cold winter conditions when the car is started, which usually disappears after driving for a while. This is a normal phenomenon and can be ignored. Additional information: 1. If the noise is not loud: If the noise from the dashboard is not significant, there is no need for repair. Most dashboard noises are caused by aging internal components, especially in older vehicles. Prolonged jolting can cause slight vibrations or twisting of internal parts, leading to noise. 2. If the noise is loud: If the noise is loud while driving, professional technicians can be consulted to dismantle the dashboard and inspect each component. Loose parts or those prone to friction should be secured. If any parts are deformed or damaged, replacement may be necessary. 3. If the cause of the noise cannot be identified: If the exact cause of the dashboard noise cannot be determined, it might be due to large internal gaps in the dashboard. Padding materials like sponge can be used to fill the gaps and eliminate the noise. Again, in cold winter conditions, noise may appear when the car is started but will disappear after driving for a while, which is normal and can be ignored.

How to Use ETC on Highways?

When using highways, simply insert the ETC card into the sensor. The vehicle can then pass through the dedicated ETC lane normally. The ETC system will read the data, automatically lift the lane barrier, and allow the vehicle to pass smoothly. Precautions for ETC usage: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to prevent the system from mistakenly charging for the vehicle ahead, in case its ETC device malfunctions or is absent. The recognized speed for ETC lane passage is 20 km/h. Driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to failed transactions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, may cause the electronic tag to become invalid. In such cases, take it to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for inspection. If the issue is not due to human interference, reactivation may be sufficient.

How to Remove Windshield Scratches?

Here are methods for removing scratches from car windshields: 1. Clean the glass: Use a clean cloth to thoroughly clean the glass, ensuring there are no debris or impurities, and let the glass dry in a suitable environment. 2. Wet a microfiber cloth: Under warm running water, take a clean, lint-free cloth (at least not rough material, preferably smooth and non-shedding). Wring the cloth tightly until no excess water drips. (Any debris on the cloth, including dust or lint, can rub against the glass and cause uneven wear or more scratches.) 3. Apply toothpaste to the cloth: Squeeze an appropriate amount of toothpaste onto the cloth according to the size of the scratch, adding more if needed. (It's best to use white non-gel toothpaste, especially those containing baking soda as an ingredient, which are most effective for removing scratches.)
