The engine oils for cars include: 1. Conventional mineral oil; 2. Semi-synthetic oil; 3. Fully synthetic oil. The functions of engine oil are: 1. Reducing friction and high temperatures; 2. Cooling and lowering temperature; 3. Cleaning and removing contaminants; 4. Damping and cushioning; 5. Preventing rust and corrosion. The method for changing engine oil is: 1. Lift the vehicle with a jack, locate the drain plug, and loosen it to drain the oil; 2. Remove the oil filter and place a container underneath; 3. Replace with a new oil filter and add new engine oil. Precautions for using engine oil include: 1. The oil level should be slightly below the mark on the dipstick. Engine oil is crucial for the engine, serving the dual functions of lubrication and heat dissipation; 2. Choose engine oil with different viscosities based on the engine's operating conditions. Use lower viscosity oil in colder seasons and higher viscosity oil in warmer seasons.

What is the emission standard for LV?

LV refers to the China IV emission standard, which is the fourth stage of national motor vehicle pollutant emission standards. The main pollutants emitted by vehicles include hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Through the application of technologies such as improved catalytic converter active layers, secondary air injection, and exhaust gas recirculation systems with cooling devices, the standard aims to control and reduce vehicle emissions to below specified levels. The China III and China IV standards are based on the Euro 3 and Euro 4 vehicle emission standards. Compared to China II, China III further reduces pollutant emission limits. The exhaust pollutant emission limits under China III are 30% lower than those under China II, while China IV will further reduce them by 60%. To ensure that vehicles stably meet emission limit requirements during use and maintain the durability of emission control performance, additional requirements for on-board diagnostic systems and in-use vehicle compliance have been introduced.

Why Do People Buy License Plates That Cannot Be Transferred?

License plates cannot be bought or sold, and purchasing a license plate carries certain risks. 1. License Plate Trading: The license plate trading market operates in a gray area, and government regulators are also in a dilemma. Faced with increasingly severe environmental pollution and traffic congestion issues, as well as the growing demand for vehicle registration, there has been no strict regulatory enforcement. License plate trading remains a private, unofficial activity with inherent risks. To avoid unnecessary complications, it is advisable not to engage in buying or selling license plates. 2. License Plate Inheritance Transfer: For example, in the case of the death of a direct relative, license plates are not considered private property and cannot be inherited or transferred in principle. However, in special first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai, where license plates hold significant value, inheritance is still possible. This requires first obtaining an inheritance rights notarization at a notary office, where all heirs must visit the notary office located at the deceased's last residence or the location of their primary assets to complete the inheritance rights notarization process.
