I've been driving for over a decade and personally experienced the process of upgrading my driver's license from a 6-year to a 10-year validity, and then to a long-term one. Initially, the driver's license is valid for 6 years. If you drive safely during these 6 years without accumulating 12 penalty points, you can apply to renew it for a 10-year validity. After another 10 years, if you've maintained a clean driving record without major violations, your license can be upgraded to a long-term one. This policy encourages safe driving and compliance with traffic rules. When renewing, remember to bring your ID card and a medical certificate to the vehicle management office. However, a long-term license doesn't mean you're completely free from obligations; as you age, you'll still need regular medical check-ups to prove your physical fitness. Overall, this system is quite user-friendly, eliminating the hassle of frequent renewals. My neighbors often discuss this, and we all agree that safe driving leading to long-term benefits is a good thing.

How Often Should a Turbocharger Be Cleaned?

Turbochargers generally have a service life of about 5-6 years and should be cleaned approximately every 10,000 kilometers. Below is an introduction to turbocharging: How Turbocharging Works: The turbocharger uses the exhaust gases expelled from the engine's exhaust port as power to drive the turbine wheel in the turbine housing. The turbine wheel is directly connected to the compressor wheel in the compressor housing. One end of the compressor housing is connected to the air filter, while the other end compresses the air drawn in from the filter into the engine's cylinders, thereby increasing the amount of air inside the engine. Turbocharger Maintenance Methods: After starting the car engine, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal abruptly; do not shut off the engine immediately after prolonged high-speed operation; choose the appropriate engine oil; regularly clean the engine oil and filters; and clean the air filter on schedule.
