China VI engines require the use of China VI gasoline, which contains 10% ethanol. Since ethanol has a lower calorific value than gasoline, this leads to a decrease in engine power and an increase in fuel consumption when using China VI gasoline. More details are as follows: 1. Currently, only GAC's 4A15J1 engine and SAIC's 15E4E engine from domestic manufacturers have been included in the China VI standard list. 2. China VI engines perform well in terms of fuel economy and reducing exhaust emissions, but the current technical requirements for China VI engines are relatively high. Few domestic brands have independently developed such engines, and most are equipped in imported brand models.

Can a Two-Wheel Drive Converted to Four-Wheel Drive Pass the Annual Inspection?

Converting a two-wheel drive vehicle into a four-wheel drive one will not pass the annual inspection. The reasons and details of the annual inspection are as follows: Annual Inspection Details: The annual inspection refers to the safety inspection conducted every year or every two years on a vehicle, which includes a comprehensive check of the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, and more. Reasons for Failing the Annual Inspection: The vehicle's drive type is recorded in the vehicle's documentation. Converting to four-wheel drive alters the vehicle's drive type, which is why it will not pass the annual inspection. If converting from front-wheel drive to four-wheel drive, it generally requires modifications such as installing a rear axle, adding a rear differential, and installing a driveshaft. This type of modification is highly technical and poses significant safety risks after completion. If converting a rear-wheel drive vehicle to four-wheel drive, it requires replacing the transmission, adding a transfer case, installing a front differential, and adding a driveshaft, among other changes. Regardless of the original drive type, converting to four-wheel drive involves numerous component modifications and carries substantial safety risks in the long term.

Should the 10th-generation Accord 1.5T use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

If the 10th-generation Accord is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, it is recommended to use 95 octane gasoline; if it is a hybrid model, 92 octane gasoline is sufficient. The relevant details are as follows: Difference between 95 and 92 octane gasoline: There is no difference in quality between 92 and 95 octane gasoline. The main difference lies in their octane ratings, which directly affects their anti-knock performance. The fuel grade specified by the manufacturer is the most suitable for the engine. Higher octane gasoline does not necessarily provide more power to the engine. The appropriate gasoline grade for an engine depends on its structural design.

Can I take the Subject 4 exam if my ID card has expired?

An expired ID card cannot be used for the exam. You can first apply for a temporary ID card and use it to take the exam. The Subject 4 exam consists of 50 questions, presented in the form of case studies, images, animations, etc. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 exam was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and civics knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which evaluates "driving ethics." Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 exam. Officially, however, there is no Subject 4. If you fail Subject 4, you do not need to retake the previously passed subjects (Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3). You can schedule a retake on your own, and no retake fee is required. There are no scheduling restrictions, but the driving skill test permit is valid for three years. If the applicant does not complete the exam within the validity period, the passed subject scores will become invalid.
