Brake fluid needs to be replaced, and the relevant explanations are as follows: Reasons: Because when the car brakes, water molecules will be generated under the action of high temperature. In addition, brake fluid is a high-concentration liquid and has a strong adsorption capacity for water. Therefore, the water content of the brake fluid will inevitably increase over time, thereby affecting the braking effect of the car. Additional note: Regular replacement of brake fluid is very important. Generally, it should be replaced every 2 years or every 40,000 kilometers. The most direct method is usually to check the water content of the brake fluid. If it exceeds 3%, it needs to be replaced.

Can the photo on a driver's license be changed?

The photo on a driver's license cannot be changed directly, as doing so would render it a counterfeit document. However, you can replace the photo by reporting the loss of your driver's license to the vehicle management office and then applying for a replacement with the required documents and a new photo. According to relevant regulations, if a motor vehicle driver's license is lost, the driver must apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office where the license was originally issued or at another authorized office. When applying, you need to fill out an application form and submit the following documents and proofs: 1. The driver's identity proof; 2. A written statement declaring the loss of the driver's license; 3. The original ID card and a passport-style photo. If the application meets the requirements, the vehicle management office should issue a replacement driver's license within one day. After receiving the new license, the original one becomes invalid and must not be used anymore.

Can someone else's driver's license be used for point deduction?

Driver's license points can be deducted using someone else's license, but it's important to note that a vehicle can only use up to three different driver's licenses to clear violation points within a year. Additionally, the person whose license is being used must personally handle the point deduction process with their own driver's license. The scoring cycle of a driver's license is calculated from the date of issuance and resets after one year. Regardless of how many points are deducted within a year, as long as the total does not reach 12 points, the score will automatically reset to 12 points the following year. For point deduction handling: If the points deducted exceed 12 or more, the traffic police will confiscate the driver's license when handling the violation. The offender must attend a seven-day traffic regulation knowledge course at a designated location. They must also take the subject one exam, similar to the initial driver's license test. Upon passing the exam, a test score certificate will be issued, and the driver's license can then be retrieved with the points cleared.

What is the Scrapping Age Limit for Passenger Cars?

There is no age limit for scrapping passenger cars, but the mileage limit for scrapping is set at 600,000 kilometers. Since May 1, 2013, the new regulations on scrapping old vehicles have been implemented, which abolished the scrapping age limit for private cars and introduced a mandatory scrapping policy for vehicles exceeding 600,000 kilometers. According to the regulations, small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles, large non-operational cars, and wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles have no usage age limit. The current annual inspection regulations for private cars are as follows: within the first 6 years, a new car must be stamped by the inspection agency every two years; from 7 to 15 years, it must be inspected once a year; after 15 years, it must be inspected twice a year. If a vehicle fails to undergo the annual inspection or fails the inspection, it will be mandatorily scrapped.

Is it no longer necessary to display the compulsory insurance decal now?

Whether the compulsory insurance decal needs to be displayed depends on the specific regulations of the local vehicle management office. If the local vehicle management office has implemented electronic insurance policies, vehicle owners in that area are no longer required to display the compulsory traffic insurance decal on their windshields. The reason it's said that the decal no longer needs to be displayed is because electronic insurance policy technology can now replace the compulsory insurance decal. The full name of compulsory insurance is Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicles, which is a vehicle insurance mandated by China's Traffic Safety Law. Insurance companies deliver policy information to vehicle policyholders and insured parties through email, SMS, WeChat, mobile apps, etc., while providing services such as querying, downloading, and printing electronic policies and compulsory insurance decals, achieving paperless operations. When handling motor vehicle registration or applying for vehicle inspection qualification marks, traffic management departments of public security authorities can query motor vehicle insurance information through the information sharing platform.

Is It Dangerous When Engine Oil Life Is Below 30%?

Engine oil life below 30% is not dangerous. When the engine oil life is below 30%, you can still continue using the vehicle without causing any danger. However, if it drops to 5% or even lower, it's best to get maintenance at a 4S shop. At this point, the old oil may have deteriorated, losing its original lubrication and cooling effects, and prolonged use could lead to severe wear on some engine components. Methods to determine whether to change the oil: 1. Observe the color of the oil. If it has turned significantly darker than before or has visible impurities floating on the surface, it means the oil is no longer usable and needs replacement. 2. Judge by driving feel. If you notice obvious engine vibration and louder engine noise, you should go to a 4S shop as soon as possible for an oil change. 3. Use the more scientific oil test paper method to determine whether the oil needs replacement.
