Private cars have no scrap period. For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, non-commercial small and mini vehicles have no usage lifespan. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide for scrapping. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage lifespan restrictions. The scrap period for small and mini rental passenger cars is 8 years, for medium rental passenger cars is 10 years, and for large rental passenger cars is 12 years. The scrap period for public transport passenger cars is 13 years, for other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles is 10 years, and for large and medium commercial passenger vehicles is 15 years. The scrap period for mini commercial trucks is 8 years, and for light and large commercial trucks is 10 years.

What are the differences between Sienna and Previa?

The differences between Sienna and Previa: 1. Different dimensions: Sienna measures 5085mm, 1983mm, and 1811mm; Previa measures 4795mm, 1800mm, and 1750mm. 2. Different engines: Sienna is equipped with a 2.7L naturally aspirated engine and a 3.5L naturally aspirated engine; Previa is equipped with a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine and a 3.5L naturally aspirated engine. Sienna's exterior adopts the OneMotionStyle integrated design, with a bullet-shaped front face, simple and smooth body lines, and a stylish and grand appearance. Its over-five-meter-long body combined with a low center of gravity creates a strong visual effect. Previa's exterior design is bold and avant-garde, with rounded body lines subtly revealing a strong and dynamic style. The uniquely designed headlights connected to the radiator grille give it a spirited and full appearance.

When is the daily driving inspection performed as a vehicle operation?

Daily driving inspection is a vehicle operation conducted before departure, during driving, and after parking. Below is the relevant introduction to daily vehicle inspections: 1. Engine oil check: Engine oil is an important lubricant that cannot be overlooked during daily driving. The engine requires sufficient lubrication from the oil during operation to ensure no abnormal wear occurs. Before long-distance trips, it is necessary to check the engine oil by pulling out the dipstick to see if the oil level is within the standard range and to check for any oil leaks. If it is almost time to change the oil, it can be replaced in advance to avoid abnormal wear during driving, which could affect the engine's lifespan. 2. Other fluid checks: This includes windshield washer fluid, antifreeze, brake fluid, etc. Ensure these fluid levels are within the normal range. If any are low, they should be replenished or replaced promptly to prevent abnormalities during use that could affect driving safety. During winter driving, windshield washer fluid is used more frequently, especially on long trips when cleaning the windshield is necessary. Insufficient washer fluid can hinder normal driving.

How to Check If Your Car Is Brand New?

Methods to check if your car is brand new: 1. Check the nameplate on the co-pilot's side, which indicates the production date. For domestically produced cars, it should not exceed 3 months, and for imported cars, it should not exceed six months. Otherwise, it is considered a stock car. 2. Check the odometer; it should not exceed 50 kilometers. If you suspect the dealership has tampered with the odometer, feel the exhaust pipe to see if there are any blackened signs, which would indicate the car has been driven more than 50 kilometers. 3. Inspect the production date of the tires. There are four consecutive numbers on the tire: the first two digits represent the week of production (i.e., the week of the year it was produced), and the last two digits represent the year. For example, 2018 is represented as 18. If the number is 2518, it means the tire was produced in the 25th week of 2018.

What is the difference between fully synthetic engine oil 5w30 and 5w40?

The difference between fully synthetic engine oil 5w30 and 5w40 lies in their viscosity: fully synthetic engine oil 5w30 has a viscosity of 30, while fully synthetic engine oil 5w40 has a viscosity of 40. In simple terms, 5w40 oil has higher viscosity than 5w30, providing better protection under high-temperature conditions. On the other hand, 5w30 flows better than 5w40, helping to reduce fuel consumption. The choice of engine oil should be based on the specifications in the car manual, as not all manufacturers' engines are designed the same. American engines, for example, are relatively more precise (with smaller gaps), making 5w30 oil (lower viscosity) more suitable. German cars typically have turbocharged engines with larger gaps, requiring the use of 5w40 oil (higher viscosity). Japanese and Korean cars often use oils with viscosities of 20 or 30, while European cars use oils with a viscosity of 40.

Is Lexus Fuel-Efficient?

Lexus models vary in fuel consumption, and whether they are fuel-efficient depends on the specific model. Below are detailed factors affecting fuel consumption: 1. Low Tire Pressure or Severe Tread Wear: Increased contact area between tires and the road surface leads to greater friction and rolling resistance, naturally resulting in higher fuel consumption. While higher tire pressure may slightly improve fuel efficiency, it compromises ride comfort and increases the risk of tire blowouts. 2. Heavy Load: Frequent transportation of heavy loads will increase fuel consumption. Similarly, poor road conditions with frequent stops and starts also elevate fuel usage. 3. Driving Habits: Driving style is another hidden factor. Smooth acceleration and linear driving are more fuel-efficient, whereas aggressive behaviors like rapid acceleration, frequent braking, repeated engine starts, and unnecessary revving waste fuel. Since a car's mechanical performance cannot respond instantly, such habits lead to higher consumption. Higher-quality gasoline ensures more complete combustion, lowering fuel consumption, while impure gasoline with more impurities increases it.

What transmission does the Jetour X70M use?

Jetour X70M uses two types of transmissions in total, one is a 6-speed manual transmission, and the other is a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The dual-clutch transmission is developed based on the manual transmission. The structure of this transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission, with the dual-clutch transmission only adding an extra set of clutch and a set of shift control mechanism compared to the manual transmission. Here are some related introductions about the Jetour X70M: 1. The front grille size has been further increased compared to previous models, while the four pearl lights in the fog light areas on both sides are retained, but with a more angular design, providing a strong visual impact. The side adopts a dual waistline design, extending from the front to the rear of the car, enhancing its sense of layering. 2. The interior has been updated with light-colored wood grain trim panels, improving the sense of luxury. The 10.1-inch central LCD screen continues to be used, but it has been upgraded with a new vehicle infotainment system.
