Buick Code 82 indicates that the engine oil life is too low. Below is relevant knowledge about engine oil life and usage precautions: Reference basis for engine oil life: Engine oil has a certain service life. When the oil life reaches 0%, it is not recommended to drive. The vehicle's computer will alert you about the oil life based on preset mileage, which can serve as a reference. While checking the engine oil, you can also use an oil inspection filter paper to test whether the oil has deteriorated. Precautions for engine oil usage: The oil level should be slightly below the mark on the dipstick; do not overfill. Engine oil is extremely important for the engine's operation, serving two major functions: lubrication and heat dissipation.

What grade of gasoline should a Golf 1.2T use?

The Golf 1.2T should use 95-octane gasoline. This fuel grade is recommended in the vehicle's official owner's manual. In addition to checking the owner's manual for the appropriate gasoline grade, you can also find this information on the fuel filler cap, which will typically indicate the recommended fuel. Generally, the fuel grade can also be determined by the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. If the compression ratio is higher, 98-octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the use of new technologies, the compression ratio alone is no longer the sole determinant of the appropriate fuel grade. High-compression engines can also be tuned to use lower-octane gasoline due to other influencing factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane rating, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Golf 1.2T occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switching back to the correct grade after the tank is empty is sufficient. However, prolonged use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower-octane fuel, using a higher-octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increased octane rating can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This results in reduced engine power and thermal efficiency, with the practical effect being poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher-octane fuel, using lower-octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane rating lowers the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance is created during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unevenly. If the knocking is mild, it may only increase noise without significant engine damage. However, noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring in severe cases.

What is the scrap age limit for a vehicle?

Non-commercial vehicles and commercial vehicles have different scrap age limits, as detailed below: Scrap regulations for non-commercial vehicles: For household 5-seat cars and 7-seat SUVs, there is no usage age limit for non-commercial small and mini vehicles. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. Apart from the above-mentioned vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage age limit. Common scrap regulations for commercial vehicles: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrap age limit of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a limit of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a limit of 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrap age limit of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles have a limit of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a limit of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrap age limit of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a limit of 10 years. The vehicle scrap process is as follows: The owner of the vehicle applying for scrap renewal should fill out the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, Scrap Approval Application Form" in duplicate and stamp the owner's seal. The registration desk will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrap Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrap age limit. For vehicles that have not reached the scrap age limit, after inspection and confirmation by the motor vehicle inspection desk, if they meet the vehicle scrap standards, a "Vehicle Scrap Notice" will be issued. The vehicle owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The vehicle owner should submit the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrap Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the motor vehicle inspection desk for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the scrap registration will be processed after approval according to regulations. Special notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can sell the scrap vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to a non-commercial vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrap time limit. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer registration or cancellation registration of a motor vehicle, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased motor vehicle. The application to use the original license plate number must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after completing the transfer or cancellation registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

What are the methods to reduce tire wear?

Methods to reduce tire wear include: 1. Pay attention to whether the tire pressure is abnormal and always maintain normal tire pressure; 2. Replace damaged tires in time to prevent accidents; 3. Pay attention to the degree of tire wear and decisively discard tires that have exceeded their lifespan; 4. Choose good road surfaces to drive on and develop good driving habits; 5. Equip the car with a powerful onboard air pump. Precautions for driving with car tires include: 1. Reduce sudden braking situations, slow down in advance at traffic lights to avoid sudden braking; 2.
