Whether a turbocharged car uses 92 or 95 octane gasoline is determined by the manufacturer's tuning and settings. Not all turbocharged engines require 95 octane gasoline, nor does a higher compression ratio necessarily mean 95 octane gasoline should be used. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid distilled or cracked from petroleum, used as fuel. The characteristics of gasoline are: 1. Volatility: It quickly vaporizes in the engine cylinder and forms a uniform combustible mixture with air; 2. Stability: The ability to resist oxidation under normal temperature and liquid phase conditions is called stability; 3. Anti-knock property: Refers to the ability of gasoline to resist detonation combustion under various usage conditions; 4. Corrosiveness: Sulfur compounds in gasoline can cause corrosion to objects.

How Many Kilometers Should a Vehicle Be Driven Before Scrapping?

Non-commercial vehicles and commercial vehicles have different scrapping periods, as detailed below: Scrapping Regulations for Non-commercial Vehicles: For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, there is no usage period limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Common Scrapping Regulations for Commercial Vehicles: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public bus passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The vehicle owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and affix the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period, the vehicle inspection office will determine if they meet the scrapping standards and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" if applicable. 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 "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the application will be submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles", if a vehicle cannot be driven back to the registration location due to damage, the owner can submit the scrapped vehicle to a local recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to a non-commercial vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping period. According to Article 43 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles", after completing the transfer or cancellation of a motor vehicle, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number when registering a new vehicle. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

Should the Car Be Turned Off When Refueling?

When refueling, the car should be turned off. Here are the specific reasons: Reasons for turning off the car during refueling: Gasoline is an electrolyte. If the vehicle is not turned off during the refueling process, although the car is not moving forward, the internal engine and other instruments are still in operation. Not turning off the car while refueling may cause the operating instruments to leak electricity, leading to short circuits or other electrical issues. Regulations at gas stations during refueling: Gas stations also strictly prohibit wearing, removing, or slapping synthetic fiber clothing and using mobile phones at the refueling site. Gas stations are most afraid of open flames and static electricity. Synthetic fiber clothing is prone to generating static electricity, so do not get out of the car to slap clothing during refueling to avoid the risk of static electricity igniting gasoline.

How serious is the engine knocking sound issue?

This is a very serious issue that requires immediate inspection at a repair facility. Below is relevant information about engine knocking: Definition: Engine knocking refers to a phenomenon where metallic knocking sounds occur when the pressure rise rate inside the cylinder is too high. Engine knocking is categorized into combustion knocking and mechanical knocking. Sharp metallic knocking sounds near top dead center caused by combustion issues are called combustion knocking or hot knocking. Dull heavy knocking or friction sounds caused by abnormal clearances between moving parts and bearings are called mechanical knocking or cold knocking. Causes: Poor lubrication conditions, low oil pressure or excessively low oil viscosity, inadequate splash lubrication on cylinder walls preventing normal oil film formation between piston and cylinder wall, resulting in direct contact between piston and cylinder causing knocking.

How Often Should a Car Battery Be Replaced Normally?

It is normal to replace a car battery every 3 to 5 years. Here is more information: Signs for Car Battery Replacement: Check the internal resistance and voltage of the battery. If both the internal resistance and voltage fail to meet the specified values, it indicates that the battery needs replacement. If the voltage drops below 10V during discharge, it may suggest that the battery has broken cells and must be replaced. The lower the voltage under load, the greater the internal resistance of the battery, indicating poorer discharge characteristics. Types of Car Batteries: Car batteries are categorized into conventional batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries. A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy.
