The maintenance items for the Cavalier include changing the engine oil and filter every 5,000 kilometers; replacing the fuel filter; and replacing the spark plugs every 60,000 kilometers. There are three maintenance taboos to be aware of: 1. Avoid poor ventilation: Do not run the engine for extended periods in an unventilated garage. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, and prolonged exposure to low concentrations of carbon monoxide can cause headaches, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, weakness, dizziness, mental confusion, and even brain damage. 2. Avoid contact with carburetor cleaner: Most carburetor cleaners contain methyl chloride, aromatic compounds, and ethanol, which can pose safety hazards if inhaled or splashed on the skin or eyes. 3. Avoid mechanical injuries: When performing maintenance, clearly mark the work area. When starting the car, pay attention to the transmission gear position to prevent accidental movement that could cause injury. When working under the hood, ensure others leave the driver’s seat to prevent accidental injury from sudden engine movement or operation of controls by others.

Can You Buy a Flood-Damaged Car as a New Vehicle?

You won't purchase flood-damaged cars as new vehicles from authorized 4S stores. Here are the details: Authorized 4S stores: These dealerships operate under strict regulations and typically don't sell vehicles with potential hazards, though exceptions exist. Some 4S stores may internally sell flood-damaged vehicles. While such cars can be repaired to some extent, they carry significant safety risks and hidden malfunctions. Hazards of flood damage: Damage to electronic control systems and components: Water immersion causes corrosion and rusting of vehicle wiring, potentially leading to sudden engine stall due to short circuits or brake failure during operation - consequences could be disastrous. Engine damage: When water level exceeds the engine air intake, water enters the cylinder chamber. Since water is incompressible, attempting to restart a flooded engine creates tremendous counterforce that bends connecting rods and punctures cylinder walls, resulting in catastrophic engine failure.

What Compensation Can Be Claimed for New Car Repairs?

When repairing a vehicle within the warranty period, if the repair time exceeds 5 days, you can claim compensation. Here are the relevant details: Reasonable Compensation: Users have the right to request a replacement vehicle or reasonable transportation compensation fees. Warranty Period: The warranty period refers to the duration during which product damage repairs are covered. If the product provided by the seller does not meet requirements, the seller is obligated to perform free repairs within the warranty period. The commonly mentioned 5-year or 100,000-kilometer warranty mainly covers the car's core components, such as the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and chassis. These parts have a relatively low probability of failure and higher repair costs, so issues with these core components are rare within 5 years. For consumable parts like tires, rims, headlights, and brakes, the dealer typically only provides a warranty of 3-6 months or 5,000 kilometers.
