I've been driving a BMW X6 for several years and often take it on long-distance trips. I've noticed that the spare tire it comes with is not a full-size one. That time when I had a flat tire on the highway, I opened the trunk and found only a slim temporary spare tire, which could only be driven at speeds below 80 km/h. It couldn't even last until the repair shop, so I had to switch back to the regular tire. BMW does this to save space and weight, making the trunk larger and slightly reducing fuel consumption. But remember, this small spare tire is only temporary, and you should replace it with a regular tire as soon as possible after use. Regularly check the spare tire's air pressure and condition to avoid finding it unusable when you need it. Nowadays, many cars adopt this design, like some SUVs. I recommend fellow drivers to keep some emergency tire repair tools on hand for peace of mind. My experience is that regular maintenance is crucial—don't overlook this small detail.

Is it acceptable to change fully synthetic engine oil once a year?

It is acceptable to change fully synthetic engine oil once a year. Under normal circumstances, conventional mineral oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers or six months; semi-synthetic oil should be changed approximately every 7,500 kilometers or eight months; and fully synthetic oil should be changed approximately every 10,000 kilometers or one year. However, in practice, whether the engine oil needs to be changed depends on many objective factors. More detailed information is as follows: 1. If the vehicle is not driven much: If the annual mileage is less than 10,000 kilometers, it is better to use mineral oil rather than higher-quality oil. Otherwise, the oil change interval may be reached while the mileage is still far from the recommended limit, which would be wasteful. In such cases, choosing slightly cheaper mineral oil and shortening the maintenance interval is better for the vehicle. If the vehicle's mileage is very low but the oil change interval has been reached, the owner must still change the oil because engine oil can become dirty, oxidize, and degrade over time inside the engine, regardless of mileage. 2. Fully synthetic oil can theoretically be changed once a year: Therefore, if the local environment is of good quality and the vehicle is used carefully, with an annual mileage not exceeding 10,000 kilometers, fully synthetic oil can theoretically be changed once a year. If the usage conditions are not ideal, it is recommended to slightly shorten the oil change interval as a form of protection for the vehicle.

Is it allowed for private cars to drive on the highway between 2 to 5 AM?

Private cars are not restricted from driving on the highway at night. The highway imposes restrictions on commercial passenger vehicles between 2 AM and 5 AM, specifically prohibiting vehicles with more than five seats during this period. According to the 'Technical Standards for Highway Engineering' by the Ministry of Transport of China, a highway is defined as 'a road that can accommodate an average annual daily traffic volume of more than 25,000 small passenger cars, exclusively designed for high-speed divided-lane travel, with fully controlled access.' 1. Definition: It refers to a road with more than four lanes, separated for two-way traffic, with fully controlled entrances and exits, and all intersections are grade-separated. 2. Additional information: When driving at high speed, do not get too close to the vehicle in front. Because the speed is high on the highway, the closer you follow, the greater the possibility of a rear-end collision. When driving on the highway, avoid frequent lane changes. During the journey, try not to drive side by side with other vehicles, do not drive in the overtaking lane for extended periods, and never overtake from the emergency stopping lane, as these are all highly dangerous behaviors.

What are the symptoms of a damaged brake master cylinder in large vehicles?

Here are the specific symptoms of a damaged brake master cylinder in large vehicles: Brake pedal not returning: The reason could be oil leakage in the brake master cylinder or wheel cylinder, or a malfunction in the master or wheel cylinder causing the pedal to sink. Additionally, it might be due to wear, lack of lubrication, or damage to the bearings on one of the axles. Damaged bearings can cause the entire vehicle to operate uncoordinated. If the brake pads are in an incorrect position, it can result in the brake pedal not returning. Brakes becoming too hard or too soft: It is normal for the brake pedal to be hard when the vehicle is stationary because the vacuum booster is not yet operational. However, if the pedal remains hard after starting the vehicle, it could be due to a vacuum hose leak or a damaged vacuum pump. Steering wheel pulling to one side during braking: During braking, it is difficult to detect uneven braking due to the high speed of the brake discs. However, when the vehicle is about to stop, the difference becomes more noticeable. The wheel on the side that stops first will cause the steering wheel to pull in that direction. This occurs due to an imbalance in the force applied by the left and right wheel cylinders on the brake pads, and the wheel cylinder should be replaced promptly in such cases.

Can Vehicle Annual Inspection Be Done in Advance?

Vehicle annual inspection can only be conducted in advance and must not be overdue. The annual inspection can be performed up to three months in advance. For example, if a vehicle's inspection validity expires in September of this year, the annual inspection period would be from July 1st to September 30th of the same year. There are several ways to check the annual inspection date. The most straightforward methods are to refer to the vehicle's registration certificate and the electronic policy of compulsory traffic insurance, both of which display the vehicle's registration date. The registration month indicates the month when the annual inspection is due. Additionally, you can directly check the annual inspection sticker, which clearly states the validity period of the inspection. Important notes regarding annual inspection: Vehicles that fail the annual inspection must be repaired within a specified time limit. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate their license plates and prohibit further operation. Vehicles that do not undergo the inspection without valid reasons or fail the inspection are not allowed to be driven on the road or transferred to another jurisdiction. Vehicles that meet the scrapping criteria or have exceeded the prescribed service life will not be inspected. Their license plates will be revoked, records will be canceled, and the vehicles will be scrapped.

What Causes Water Leakage from the Right A-Pillar of a Car?

Water leakage from the right A-pillar of a car can be caused by clogged sunroof drainage holes, poor windshield sealing, or inadequate vehicle sealing. Clogged Sunroof Drainage Holes: If the drainage holes of the car's sunroof are clogged, rainwater that falls on the car cannot be drained in time, causing the water to flow along the interface of the conduit into the interior of the A-pillar. The solution is to unclog the blocked drainage holes. Poor Windshield Sealing: After replacing the windshield, if the adhesive is unevenly applied, the car's sealing performance will decrease, allowing rainwater to seep into the car through gaps. If the windshield has not been replaced, it is likely that the sealing strip has aged, leading to leakage. The solution is to replace the windshield and the sealing strip. Inadequate Vehicle Sealing: This can be due to aging window sealing strips or poor sealing of the roof rack mounting holes. Over time, the window sealing strips can harden and age, reducing the window's sealing performance. Additionally, if the mounting holes for the roof rack are not properly sealed during installation, water leakage can occur. The solution is to replace the window sealing strips and improve the vehicle's sealing.

Will there be any issues if a family car's annual inspection is overdue by a few months?

If the annual inspection is overdue by one month, penalties will be imposed, including a 3-point deduction. Exterior Inspection: During the exterior inspection, the staff will present the Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form and the Motor Vehicle Safety Technical Inspection Certificate. They will then check the vehicle's frame number, engine number, and other data. The inspection also includes verifying the vehicle's body color, the presence of a triangular warning sign, and whether fire extinguishers and other onboard tools are complete. If all checks pass, the staff will sign the record form. The signed form will then be handed to the owner, who will be notified to proceed with payment. Next, the owner must submit their personal documents to the staff, who will enter the inspection information into the system. The owner will then wait for the next inspection item. On-Road Inspection: The on-road inspection primarily tests the vehicle's emissions, lights, brakes, etc. The owner only needs to queue and drive the vehicle to the inspection entrance. The staff will collect the forms in order, and the owner can wait at the final photo station. As long as the vehicle has no faults or unauthorized modifications, these items will pass. Owners of vehicles that pass the inspection only need to hold the signed form, place the fire extinguisher and triangular warning sign at the rear, and slightly raise the tail of the sunroof before waiting for the staff to take photos.
