For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, there is no mandatory retirement age. However, when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers under normal driving conditions, the government will recommend retirement. In addition to the aforementioned vehicles, there are no retirement age restrictions for small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles. Commercial vehicles have mandatory retirement ages, as follows: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles: 8 years; medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles: 10 years; large taxi passenger vehicles: 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles: 13 years; other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles: 10 years; large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles: 15 years. Mini commercial trucks: 8 years; light and large commercial trucks: 10 years. The vehicle retirement process is as follows: The vehicle owner applying for retirement must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, and Retirement Approval Application Form" in duplicate and affix the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Retirement Notice" for vehicles that have reached the retirement age. For vehicles that have not reached the retirement age, the motor vehicle inspection office will determine if they meet the retirement standards and issue a "Vehicle Retirement Notice" accordingly. The vehicle owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The vehicle owner must submit the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the retirement registration will be processed according to regulations. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if a vehicle cannot be driven back to the registration location due to damage, the owner may sell the vehicle to a local recycling company for retirement. If a commercial vehicle is converted to non-commercial use, it must still be retired according to the original commercial vehicle retirement age. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or deregistration of a motor vehicle, the original owner may apply to use the original license plate number when registering a new vehicle. The following conditions must be met: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or deregistration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for at least three years.

Can the window films from 4S stores be applied?

4S stores often provide free window films that are generally low-quality with poor heat insulation or mid-to-low-end products from certain brands. While not absolute, this is quite common. As for the films available for additional purchase in-store, if they offer objective testing opportunities, they might be acceptable. However, if no testing is available and the installation process is unclear, it's generally not recommended. Below is an introduction to automotive window films: 1. Good privacy protection: Most automotive films are one-way, protecting the owner's privacy, but owners should carefully select the film. 2. Anti-shatter effect: In case of an accident, the film helps keep shattered glass together, preventing dangerous flying shards and protecting passengers. 3. Heat insulation: High-quality automotive films provide effective heat insulation, controlling temperature rise in summer and retaining warmth in winter, creating a comfortable driving environment. 4. Reduced light transmittance: Automotive films typically have a light transmittance of no more than 90%, especially on the windshield, which may slightly reduce visibility and affect driving safety.

Can I purchase new car insurance by myself?

New car owners can directly purchase insurance from insurance companies. However, when buying a car at a 4S store, the store will aggressively promote insurance and may even coerce owners into purchasing insurance at the 4S store. Insurance Introduction: Vehicle insurance, also known as motor vehicle insurance or car insurance, refers to a type of commercial insurance that covers personal injury or property damage caused by natural disasters or accidents involving motor vehicles. Car insurance is a form of property insurance, and within the field of property insurance, car insurance is a relatively young category. This is because car insurance emerged and developed alongside the appearance and popularization of automobiles. Unlike modern motor vehicle insurance, early car insurance primarily focused on third-party liability coverage and gradually expanded to include risks such as collision damage to the vehicle body. Insurance Categories: Commercial insurance is an indeterminate-value insurance, divided into basic insurance and additional insurance, with the latter not being independently insurable. Basic insurance includes third-party liability insurance and vehicle damage insurance (comprehensive coverage). Additional insurance includes total loss theft insurance (theft coverage), onboard liability insurance, no-fault liability insurance, cargo drop liability insurance, standalone glass breakage insurance, vehicle downtime loss insurance, spontaneous combustion loss insurance, new equipment loss insurance, and deductible waiver insurance.

What is the Function of Chrome Plating?

Chrome plating enhances the appearance of a car by improving its color, significantly increasing strength, hardness, and wear resistance, while simultaneously reducing plasticity and toughness. Chromium can improve the oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance of steel and also provides protection for some plastic parts. Additionally, when applied to areas like door handles, it can protect the paint surface. Advantages of Chrome Plating: The chrome plating layer has strong adhesion to the base metal. When properly applied, the bonding strength between the plating layer and steel can exceed that of the steel itself. The chrome plating layer exhibits excellent heat resistance and thermal conductivity. It can withstand high temperatures, with discoloration and changes in mechanical properties only occurring above 500 degrees Celsius. The thermal conductivity of chromium is second only to copper and is 40% higher than that of cast iron. Disadvantages of Chrome Plating: The deposition efficiency of the chrome plating layer is low, resulting in low productivity. The lubrication performance of the chrome plating layer is poor, leading to reduced wear resistance under conditions of insufficient lubrication. However, using porous chrome plating can improve wear resistance by 2-4 times. If not properly controlled, the chrome layer is prone to cracking and peeling.

What Causes Engine Oil to Turn into a Mud-like Substance?

Introduction to the reasons why engine oil turns into a mud-like substance: 1. The vehicle has not been maintained for a long time, and the oil deteriorates after prolonged use. 2. The quality of the oil added during vehicle maintenance does not meet the required standards, and it turns into a sludge state after high-load operation of the vehicle. 3. The engine itself has a fault, and impurities (such as gasoline or water) enter the oil during engine operation, causing the oil to deteriorate. Precautions for using a car engine are as follows: 1. Avoid driving in neutral gear: The engine itself has a deceleration fuel cut-off function, and driving in neutral is not conducive to fuel economy. 2. Pay attention to observation during normal vehicle use: If oil is found on the ground, determine whether there is an engine oil leak and communicate with the car 4S store in time to eliminate potential safety hazards. 3. For vehicles equipped with turbochargers: Do not turn off the engine immediately after high-speed driving or climbing a slope; let it idle for 10 minutes before shutting down. Vehicles with turbochargers form carbon deposits several times faster than naturally aspirated vehicles. 4. When brake fluid is mixed with or absorbs water, or if impurities or sediments are found in the brake fluid, it should be replaced or carefully filtered in time. Otherwise, it will cause insufficient braking pressure and affect braking performance.
