Car first maintenance has certain standard agreements in terms of time or mileage, whichever comes first. If you drive less frequently and the time limit is reached first, then the time limit must be adhered to, and the time must not be exceeded. Otherwise, the 4S dealership will consider it as out of warranty, and you will not be able to enjoy the car's warranty. Generally, the first maintenance mileage ranges from 2,500 kilometers to 7,500 kilometers, and the time limit is six months, whichever comes first. Car maintenance includes the following points: 1. Vehicle primary maintenance items: After completing the primary maintenance tasks, the vehicle should achieve a clean appearance, secure connections, smooth operation of the three filters, and no leaks of oil, water, gas, or electricity. 2. Vehicle primary maintenance lubrication tasks: Check the oil levels of the generator, transmission, rear axle, and steering gear, add lubricating oil as required, and ensure that all oil nozzles on the vehicle are complete and effective. 3. Vehicle primary maintenance inspection and tightening tasks: Check the steering gear, tie rods, drag links, and the connection and tightening condition of each steering arm.

What Causes Engine Oil Level to Increase?

Engine oil level increase may be caused by gasoline or water mixing into the oil, or issues with engine component mechanisms. Gasoline or water entering the oil: During vehicle operation, if piston rings or cylinder sealing is poor, allowing mixed gases to enter the engine crankcase, these gases will liquefy when temperatures drop, causing the oil level to rise. This oil increase occurs due to incomplete fuel combustion leading to fuel flowing into the oil pan. If this abnormal phenomenon of gasoline or water mixing into oil occurs, the oil will become diluted, reducing lubrication effectiveness and causing abnormal engine wear. Problems with engine component mechanisms: Oil level increase can also relate to engine components. For example, insufficient cylinder pressure indicates reduced cylinder sealing, which will decrease engine power and make starting difficult. Another possibility is faulty fuel injectors causing fuel dripping or excessive fuel injection. Both situations require inspection by a technician to confirm the cause and perform repairs.

How Many Years Can a Private Car Be Used?

Private cars can be used for 15 years. The mandatory retirement age for private cars has been abolished, but they will be forcibly scrapped if they reach a maximum mileage of 600,000 kilometers. Introduction to private car scrapping: Since May 1, 2013, the new regulations on phasing out old vehicles have been implemented. Among them, the mandatory retirement age for private cars has been abolished, with a maximum mileage of 600,000 kilometers triggering compulsory scrapping. The regulations state that small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles, large non-operational cars, and wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles have no usage time limit. Introduction to compulsory scrapping of motor vehicles: According to the new regulations, registered motor vehicles that fail to obtain the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period will be forcibly scrapped. After the implementation of the new regulations, the prices of some used cars with longer service years but good performance will increase.

Why Does the Left Rear Wheel Make Noise When Driving?

Left rear wheel noise is usually caused by small stones trapped in the brake disc, leading to friction noise during driving, or due to abnormal wear of the wheel bearing caused by lack of lubrication or fatigue wear. Below is additional information: 1. Tire Maintenance: Regularly inspect tires and remove foreign objects. While driving, small stones often get lodged in the tire tread grooves. If not removed promptly, these stones can puncture the tire over time, leading to air leaks or blowouts. Drivers should frequently check the tire surface to ensure cleanliness. Pay special attention to cleaning the tires, as mud or other coverings can hide damage. Inspect for mud, cuts, bulges, etc., and replace the tire immediately if any cracks are found. 2. Tire Lifespan: The typical lifespan of car tires is about 2-3 years or 60,000-100,000 kilometers. Tires should be replaced when the tread depth reaches 1.6mm, as tires beyond their expiration date experience overall performance degradation.

Where Can Motorcycles Access Highways?

Currently, one-fifth of provinces and cities in China, including Beijing, Liaoning, Hubei, Hainan, Guizhou, Xinjiang, and Yunnan, have opened their highways to motorcycles. The provinces where motorcycles are allowed on highways in China include Fujian, Shaanxi, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, Tibet Autonomous Region, and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Motorcyclists are advised to patiently understand the regulations before riding on highways, as rushing onto highways may pose risks. Only after confirming that it is permissible should they proceed. Below is relevant information: 1. Motorcycle Riding Precautions: Always wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle. Due to the unique nature of motorcycle riding, wearing a helmet is essential to prevent dangers and ensure personal safety. Riders are encouraged to purchase high-quality helmets to guarantee safety. 2. Braking Method: When needing to brake due to an obstacle ahead, release the throttle, apply the rear brake with the right foot, and gently use the front brake with the right hand.

Can a Motorcycle Be Parked Without Shifting to Neutral?

It depends on the situation. If the road is flat, shifting to neutral is better and beneficial for the next startup. On uneven ground, parking with a gear engaged is preferable. Since motorcycles lack a parking brake, parking with a gear engaged can act as a brake, preventing the motorcycle from sliding downhill and avoiding accidents. Below is relevant information: 1. Gear Correspondence: Motorcycle gears correspond to speed. 2. Braking Methods: Braking on normal road conditions: When the speed is slow and the road conditions are normal, you can disengage the clutch and brake slowly and calmly (this avoids the back-and-forth oscillation impact of the power transmission system, which can make motorcycle passengers feel uncomfortable). When the speed is fast and the road ahead is normal, you can first reduce the throttle slightly, use the engine's counterforce to decelerate, and simultaneously apply gentle pressure to the front and rear brakes (always use both brakes together to avoid skidding). After the speed decreases, you can then downshift.

What are the effects of forgetting to release the handbrake while reversing?

If the car is in motion, it may stall due to the influence of the handbrake. If you apply some throttle and reverse normally, there won't be much impact. However, if the reversing time is too long, it may affect the brakes. Below is some relevant information: Meaning of the handbrake: The parking brake, commonly known as the handbrake, provides resistance to the car when parked to prevent it from rolling. The parking brake, whether it's a handbrake or the parking gear in an automatic transmission, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The force of the parking brake is much weaker than that of the service brake, just enough to prevent the car from rolling on a slope. Types of parking brakes: There are different types of parking brakes, such as the mechanical ones operated by hand or foot as mentioned above. Additionally, high-end vehicles are increasingly adopting electronically controlled parking systems, commonly known as electronic handbrakes.
