From my decades of driving experience, the second maintenance is basic upkeep and should not be taken lightly. Key tasks include changing the engine oil and oil filter, as dirty oil affects lubrication over time; replacing the air filter to prevent dust from entering the engine; checking the thickness of brake pads and discs for safety; rotating tires to balance wear and extend their lifespan; and inspecting lights and wipers. Don’t underestimate these steps—I once neglected them in my younger days, and my car broke down halfway, costing me a fortune in engine repairs later. Now, I always do it on schedule, and my car runs smoother and more fuel-efficient. Prevention is always cheaper than repairs. It’s best to find a reliable repair shop for a thorough inspection.

Does an off-road vehicle refer to an SUV?

An off-road vehicle does not refer to an SUV. An SUV is a comprehensive vehicle that combines the performance of an off-road vehicle with that of a luxury sedan, and its off-road capability cannot be compared to that of a genuine off-road vehicle. Genuine off-road vehicles are rare because these vehicles do not prioritize comfort or exterior styling; they are designed solely for off-road performance. Typically, genuine off-road vehicles have a simple design and lack many luxury features. Most standard SUVs are two-wheel drive, while high-end or rugged SUVs may come standard with a four-wheel-drive system, often using an intelligent, front-wheel-drive-based all-wheel-drive system. Due to structural limitations, they cannot transfer more than 50% of the power to the rear axle, resulting in inferior active safety compared to professional off-road vehicles.

What Causes a Blown Cylinder Head Gasket?

Causes of a blown cylinder head gasket: 1. The engine frequently operates under overload conditions, causing prolonged detonation combustion. The excessively high local pressure and temperature within the cylinder can easily blow the cylinder head gasket; 2. When tightening the cylinder head bolts, failure to follow the specified procedures results in uneven torque distribution among the bolts, preventing the cylinder head gasket from lying flat between the cylinder block and cylinder head mating surfaces; 3. Overly advanced ignition timing leads to detonation combustion during engine operation. The cylinder head gasket is a sealing component located between the top surface of the engine block and the bottom surface of the cylinder head. Its functions are to maintain gas-tight cylinder sealing, prevent leakage of coolant and engine oil flowing from the block to the cylinder head. The cylinder head gasket withstands the pressure from tightening the cylinder head bolts while enduring the high temperature and pressure of combustion gases inside the cylinder, as well as corrosion from engine oil and coolant.

Will points be deducted for not having a fire extinguisher in the car?

Points will not be deducted for not having a fire extinguisher in the car. Currently, only special-purpose vehicles such as school buses, passenger buses, trucks, and buses are required to be equipped with on-board fire extinguishers. For private cars, there is no mandatory requirement, so no points will be deducted. However, for safety reasons, it is recommended that car owners always keep a fire extinguisher in their vehicles. Regarding the usage specifications of dry powder fire extinguishers: 1. Before use, shake the extinguisher thoroughly several times to ensure the dry powder inside is loosened; 2. Pull out the safety pin, hold the nozzle with your hand (or hold the bottom of the bottle if it is a tubeless fire extinguisher), and aim the nozzle at the base of the flame; 3. Press the handle of the extinguisher firmly, and the dry powder will then be sprayed from the nozzle.
