The maintenance items for a car at 40,000 kilometers are as follows: 1. Replace engine oil (lubricant) and oil filter: Must be replaced every 5,000 kilometers or six months. If using full synthetic oil, it can be replaced up to every 8,000 kilometers. 2. Replace air filter and cabin air filter: The air filter and cabin air filter should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers or two years. 3. Replace fuel filter, brake fluid, and transmission fluid: For automatic transmission models, transmission fluid should also be replaced; for rear-wheel-drive vehicles, differential oil should also be replaced. 4. Tires older than four years may be considered for replacement. Brake discs can be replaced if the brake pads have been changed three times. 5. Battery: The car battery should normally be replaced every two years. Even if the car hasn't driven 40,000 kilometers in two years, the battery should still be checked for power loss.

Can Car Stickers Pass the Annual Inspection?

Car stickers can pass the annual inspection if they meet the standards. Here are the regulations regarding car stickers: 1. The sticker area must not exceed 30% of the vehicle body: If the car sticker area is too large (exceeding 30%) and has not been approved by the public security traffic management department, it will cause inconsistency between the vehicle and the photo on the driving license. The "police officer" will consider the vehicle as illegally modified and impose a fine. 2. Car stickers must not affect safe driving: According to Chinese law, if the spraying or pasting of logos or body advertisements on motor vehicles affects safe driving, a fine will be imposed.

Do Snow Chains Damage Tires?

Snow chains can damage tires. Below is an introduction to related content: 1. Wide Application: Iron chains have a wide range of applications and are the most common and classic type. 2. Advantages and Disadvantages: The advantages are durability and sturdiness, while the disadvantages include loud noise, difficulty in installation and removal, heaviness, and significant tire wear. Below are precautions for using snow chains: 1. Install in Advance: Install the snow chains before your trip, not after encountering snowy or icy roads. Installing chains temporarily is more troublesome and less safe than installing them in advance. 2. Installation: Before installation or removal, park the vehicle in a safe area.

Does a sedan need to be registered after adding a rear wing?

A sedan needs to be registered after adding a rear wing. The following are the functions of adding a rear wing to a sedan: 1. Save fuel: By utilizing the downforce generated during the car's rapid movement, the car gains greater traction, effectively reducing the air resistance produced during high-speed driving, ultimately achieving fuel savings. 2. Improve driving stability: The rear wing can use the air's adhesion to the ground to counteract part of the lift and control the car's upward movement, reducing the impact of wind resistance, allowing the modified car to adhere closely to the road surface, thereby enhancing driving stability. A rear wing that is precisely calculated based on the car's width not only makes the vehicle more stable and safe during high-speed driving but also reduces air resistance during driving, saving fuel while increasing speed.

Do Modern Cars Need Warm-Up?

Vehicles do require warm-up, but prolonged idling for warm-up is not recommended. Besides idling, another method is low-speed driving warm-up. Below are the reasons why a car might fail to start during warm-up: 1. Carbon Buildup: At high temperatures, carbon deposits have a strong adsorption effect on fuel. Excessive carbon buildup on pistons, throttle valves, and intake pipes can absorb a portion of the fuel, resulting in a lean air-fuel mixture and affecting engine startup. 2. Faulty Coolant Temperature Sensor and Intake Air Temperature Sensor: If these sensors are damaged, they cannot provide accurate temperature signals. 3. Fuel System Malfunction: During warm-up, the car's temperature is high. Using low-quality gasoline can cause fuel to evaporate, leading to an overly lean mixture. Additionally, poor fuel pump operation or fuel injector leakage can contribute to the problem.

Where to Issue the Uniform Invoice for Used Cars?

Used car invoices are generally issued at used car trading markets or used car auction companies. Here are some considerations when purchasing a used car: 1. Pay attention to the appearance: Some used cars have been involved in accidents. To increase the value of these cars, dealers may refurbish them, repaint them to make them look newer. Therefore, when buying a car, pay attention to the appearance, inspect all corners and parts of the car for signs of repainting, and check if there are any signs of wear on the tires, headlights, or bumpers. 2. Pay attention to the chassis and frame: After a car has been in an accident, even if the exterior is well repaired, its frame and chassis are difficult to restore. If you notice any deformation or bending, be cautious as the car may have been in an accident. 3. Pay attention to the car's performance: When selecting a used car, tap the body to listen for any abnormal sounds, and start the car to check if the engine sounds normal.
