It is not recommended to do the glaze sealing offered by the 4S store for new cars. The specific reasons are as follows: Reason 1: New cars do not need waxing, glaze sealing, or crystal coating. Reason 2: Glaze sealing can damage the car paint. Once you do glaze sealing, you can only continue with glaze sealing in the future and cannot switch to waxing or crystal coating. Information about car glaze sealing is as follows: Glaze sealing: It refers to the process of using soft wool or a sponge with a high-speed vibrating polishing machine to forcefully penetrate glaze molecules into the surface of the car and the gaps in the paint, utilizing the unique permeability and adhesion of the glaze. Effects: After glaze sealing, the car's paint surface can achieve or even exceed the effect of the original paint, making old cars look newer and new cars brighter. It also provides features such as high-temperature resistance, sealing, oxidation resistance, gloss enhancement, water wash resistance, and corrosion resistance, laying a foundation for future car detailing, painting, and refurbishment.

How to Check the Vehicle Manufacturing Date?

The manufacturing date of a vehicle can be determined mainly from the following aspects: 1. The manufacturing date is indicated on the vehicle's manufacturing plate: There are two manufacturing plates, one located in the engine compartment and the other on the side of the driver's door. The plate clearly marks the manufacturing year and month of the vehicle. Additionally, the manufacturing date of the car can also be inferred from the production dates of the windows, tires, and seat belts. 2. The manufacturing plate contains the vehicle's VIN code, which is the vehicle identification number: The VIN is a 17-digit code that includes various information about the vehicle, such as the manufacturer, country of origin, vehicle type, and characteristics. 3. Specific explanation for identifying the year: The 10th digit or letter in the VIN represents the vehicle's production year. For vehicles in China, the manufacturing plate identifies the year using a combination of A~H, J, K, L, M, N, P, V, W, X, Y, and numbers 1~9, cycling every 30 years. For example, A stands for 2010, B for 2011, C for 2012, D for 2013, E for 2014, F for 2015, G for 2016, H for 2017, and so on. When it cycles back to A, it represents 2040.

How long after buying a car can you get license plates?

The maximum time limit is 90 days, because the temporary license plate for a motor vehicle can be used for up to 90 days. Before the temporary license plate expires, you can choose the license plate for the motor vehicle. It should be noted that the purchase tax must be paid within 60 days from the date of the car purchase invoice. More relevant information is as follows: 1. One-time issuance: The temporary license plate for a motor vehicle can be issued at one time. After purchasing the vehicle and buying compulsory traffic insurance, you can obtain the temporary license plate at the 4S store, vehicle management office, or traffic management department of the public security authority. You can get three temporary license plates at once. Before the temporary license plate expires, you must register the vehicle to use it normally. 2. Types of temporary license plates: There are four types of temporary license plates for motor vehicles. The first is the temporary license plate within the administrative region, the second is the temporary license plate across administrative regions, the third is the temporary license plate for testing purposes, and the fourth is the temporary license plate for special motor vehicles.

What is the difference between Geely BMA and CMA?

Geely BMA and CMA have the following differences: 1. Different developers: The CMA architecture was jointly developed by Geely and Volvo, while the BMA architecture was independently developed by Geely Auto. 2. Different positioning: The BMA modular architecture is positioned for small cars, while the CMA modular architecture is positioned for compact cars. Therefore, the BMA architecture is not a simplified version of the CMA architecture; they complement each other. The existence of these two architectures helps Geely Auto fill the R&D fields of compact and small cars, broaden Geely Auto's market layout, and greatly enhance Geely's production capabilities.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the 10th generation Accord?

The actual fuel consumption of the 10th generation Accord is 7-9L. As a midsize car, the fuel consumption performance of this model is excellent. In addition, this model has introduced a hybrid version, which has even better fuel consumption performance. Here are some extended details: 1. Model: The Accord is a midsize car launched by Honda, available in two versions: a hybrid version and a fuel version. 2. Powertrain: The 10th generation Accord is equipped with three engines: a low-power 1.5L turbocharged engine, a high-power 1.5L turbocharged engine, and a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. The model equipped with the 2.0L turbocharged engine is the hybrid version. The hybrid version is a conventional hybrid electric vehicle, not a plug-in hybrid. However, Honda's hybrid technology is very close to that of pure electric vehicles, making Honda's hybrid cars extremely fuel-efficient.

How often should Idemitsu full synthetic oil be changed?

Idemitsu's original 0w20 super full synthetic oil used by the dealership recommends maintenance and replacement every 5,000 kilometers. Benefits of full synthetic oil: 1. Wider temperature range: Full synthetic oil has a broader temperature range compared to semi-synthetic and mineral oils. 2. Longer lifespan: Synthetic oil is less prone to deterioration, has lower evaporation loss, and lasts longer than conventional oil. 3. Stability: It offers excellent chemical stability, good radiation resistance, high oil film strength, minimal foaming, superior lubrication, and reduced wear. 4. Less thermal degradation: Full synthetic oil experiences less thermal degradation, saves fuel, and provides better engine protection.

What type of engine oil is used in the Sylphy?

According to the official maintenance recommendations provided by Nissan, the Sylphy should use 5W30 engine oil of SL grade or higher. It is advisable to use the original manufacturer's oil of this specification. As a mechanical device, an engine shares common requirements for lubricating oil with general machinery, such as the need for appropriate viscosity, as well as certain anti-oxidation, anti-wear, anti-corrosion, and viscosity-temperature performance requirements. However, an engine is also a special type of machinery, and its requirements for lubricating oil have unique aspects. Below is an introduction to the specific characteristics of engines: 1. The general requirements for an engine are small size, lightweight, compact structure, and high power output. As a result, the load on its friction surfaces is significant. 2. High-temperature and high-pressure combustion gases in the combustion chamber can leak into the crankcase through the gaps between the piston, piston rings, and cylinder liner. These combustion gases are the result of complete or incomplete combustion of fuel and a small amount of lubricating oil, producing gases and certain particulate matter (soot), which typically become the main components of crankcase blow-by. These gases can contaminate the lubricating oil and, under certain conditions, accelerate its oxidation. 3. The temperature difference between when the engine is stopped and when it is running for an extended period is substantial. Additionally, due to the thermal expansion and deformation of components, it is difficult to maintain consistent gaps in some friction pairs. This can lead to issues such as adhesion and sintering if the gap is too small, or impact and vibration damage if the gap is too large. In these situations, the oil film struggles to adhere. 4. An engine contains various friction pairs, such as pistons and cylinder liners, crankshaft journals and bearings, camshafts and followers, and gears. Although their lubrication requirements differ, only one type of lubricating oil can be used in a single engine (with the exception of large marine diesel engines). Therefore, when selecting lubricating oil, it is necessary to consider multiple lubrication conditions.
