Automotive oil seals are critical mechanical components designed to contain oil, isolating the parts requiring lubrication from the output components in the transmission system. If damaged, they can lead to oil leakage. Here is additional information: 1. Oil Seal: The term 'oil seal' is a common designation for general sealing components, essentially referring to the sealing of lubricating oil to contain grease. Sealing elements used for static and dynamic sealing are called oil seals. The representative form is the TC oil seal, a double-lipped seal fully encased in rubber with a self-tightening spring, commonly referred to as the TC skeleton oil seal. 2. Precautions: If an oil seal starts leaking, it is imperative to replace it immediately at a 4S shop or repair facility. Prolonged leakage not only contaminates the engine with dirt and wastes engine oil but may also cause internal engine damage. Taking the valve oil seal as an example, if it leaks, it can lead to rapid engine oil consumption, resulting in oil burning phenomena.

After how many years will a car be mandatorily scrapped?

Cars will be mandatorily scrapped after reaching the prescribed service life. The standards for mandatory scrapping are as follows: Reaching the prescribed service life. After repair and adjustment, still failing to meet the national standards for in-use vehicle safety technical requirements. After repair and adjustment or the adoption of control technology, the emission of pollutants or noise into the atmosphere still fails to meet the national standards for in-use vehicle requirements. Failing to obtain the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark for three consecutive motor vehicle inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period. Private and commercial vehicles have different scrapping periods: Private vehicle scrapping regulations: 5-seat family cars and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and micro cars, have no service life limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. In addition to the above vehicles, small and micro non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no service life limit. Common commercial vehicle scrapping regulations: Small and micro taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 12 years. Bus passenger cars have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and micro commercial passenger cars have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger cars have a scrapping period of 15 years; micro commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, and light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years.

Is an Appointment Required for Vehicle Inspection?

An appointment is required for vehicle inspection. Vehicle Inspection Time: Vehicle annual inspection should be applied for the inspection qualification mark at the vehicle management department of the vehicle's location within 90 days before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. For example, if the vehicle's annual inspection date is June 30th, you should choose to handle the annual inspection business in April, May, or June. This helps avoid the phenomenon of overcrowding during the inspection period. According to regulations, vehicles that exceed the annual inspection period by less than one year will also face penalties when handling the annual inspection procedures at the vehicle management department. Notes: According to relevant traffic laws, vehicles that have not undergone annual inspection are not qualified to be on the road. If such vehicles continue to be driven, they will be subject to a penalty of 3 points deducted and a fine. Additionally, for any traffic accidents caused by vehicles that have not participated in the annual inspection on time, the party involved will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not bear any responsibility.

What is the tire model of the Bestune T99?

The tire models of the Bestune T99 are 245/45R21 and 245/50R20. Taking 245/45R21 as an example, 245 indicates the tire width is 245mm, the aspect ratio is 45, R represents radial tire, and 21 means the tire can be mounted on a 21-inch wheel rim. Taking the 2021 automatic Captain Edition Bestune T99 as an example, its body structure is a five-door five-seat SUV, with body dimensions of length 4800mm, width 1915mm, height 1685mm, a wheelbase of 2870mm, a fuel tank capacity of 60L, a luggage compartment capacity of 377L, and a curb weight of 1775kg.

What Causes Steering Wheel Vibration When Speed Exceeds 100 km/h?

The reasons for steering wheel vibration when speed exceeds 100 km/h are: 1. Incorrect front wheel alignment angle, excessive toe-in; 2. Low front tire pressure or tire imbalance due to repairs or other reasons; 3. Front wheel rim deformation or unequal number of tire bolts; 4. Loose installation of transmission system components; 5. Bent drive shaft, power imbalance, or front axle deformation; 6. Shock absorber failure. Precautions for steering wheel use: 1. Reduce the steering angle when driving at high speeds; 2. Straighten the steering wheel when the middle of the vehicle passes the center line; 3. Straighten the steering wheel when the front of the vehicle is aligned with the center line of the lane.

What Should the Tire Pressure Be in Summer?

In summer, the recommended tire pressure for cars is 2.3bar. Due to the high temperatures in summer, the tire pressure should be 0.1 to 0.2bar lower than the standard tire pressure recommended by the car manufacturer. If the tire pressure is too high, the elasticity of the tire will decrease, and the adhesion to the ground will be reduced, which can affect braking performance and increase the risk of a blowout when encountering impacts. The hazards of low tire pressure include: 1. Increased road friction coefficient, leading to higher fuel consumption; 2. Heavy steering wheel, making the car prone to veering off course, which is detrimental to driving safety; 3. Increased movement of various parts of the tire, with excessive rolling causing abnormal tire heating; 4. Reduced performance of the cord and rubber, leading to cord breakage and delamination or excessive friction between the rim and the tire, causing bead damage and abnormal wear; 5. Increased friction between the tire and the ground, causing the tire temperature to rise sharply, softening the tire and reducing its strength, which can lead to tire bursts; 6. Low tire pressure increases the deformation of the tire body, causing sidewall cracks, flexing movements, overheating, rubber aging, accelerated shoulder wear, and shortening the tire's lifespan.

Will the airbag deploy if the seat belt is not fastened?

If the seat belt is not fastened, the airbag will still deploy. In the event of an accident where the deployment conditions are met, the airbag will inflate in stages or with reduced force. The function of the seat belt is: during a vehicle collision or when emergency braking is applied, the pretensioner will instantly retract, tightening the slack in the belt to securely restrain the occupant in the seat and prevent secondary collisions. The airbag consists of an inflation sensor and inflation system, and its purpose is to: protect occupants by reducing contact with interior objects, more evenly distributing head and chest impact forces, and absorbing the occupant's kinetic energy, thereby complementing the effectiveness of the seat belt.
