Parallel import of cars refers to vehicles that are purchased by traders from overseas markets and introduced into the Chinese market for sale without the authorization of the brand manufacturers. Due to different import origins, they can be classified into models such as U.S. specification cars and Middle East edition cars, which are different from the traditional channel-sold China specification cars. Parallel imported cars are also legal products and enter the domestic market after passing 3C certification, but they are imported in smaller batches and do not come with manufacturer warranty services. Precautions for purchasing parallel imported cars: 1. Certificate of Imported Goods; 2. Vehicle Inspection Sheet; 3. Vehicle Conformity Certificate; 4. Vehicle Purchase Invoice; 5. Imported Vehicle Electronic Information. These documents are mainly used for the owner to pay the vehicle purchase tax and facilitate the subsequent licensing procedures.

What are the reasons for insufficient oil supply to the cylinder head of the Xinchai 490 engine?

The reasons for insufficient oil supply to the cylinder head of the Xinchai 490 engine may include a clogged oil filter or insufficient oil pump pressure. Clogged oil filter: The function of the filter is to help remove impurities. Automobile filters generally include four types: air, oil, fuel, and cabin air filters, each serving a different purpose. The fuel filter primarily removes impurities from gasoline to ensure the engine operates normally. Once the fuel filter becomes dirty or clogged, issues such as slow acceleration when starting the car or even failure to start may occur. If the air filter is too dirty, it increases intake resistance, preventing normal airflow in the vehicle, which can affect engine performance. Insufficient oil pump pressure: The most direct indication of insufficient oil pump pressure is the illumination of the oil pressure warning light on the dashboard, accompanied by symptoms such as insufficient driving power, poor acceleration, and a tendency for the engine to stall. The working principle of the oil pump: gear-type oil pumps are characterized by their reliability, simple structure, ease of manufacturing, and high oil pressure, making them widely adopted. When the engine is running, the drive gear on the camshaft drives the transmission gear of the oil pump, causing the drive gear fixed on the drive shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear to rotate in the opposite direction, moving the oil from the intake chamber through the gear gaps and pump walls to the outlet chamber. This creates a low-pressure area in the intake chamber, generating suction that draws oil from the oil pan into the chamber. As the drive and driven gears continue to rotate, oil is continuously pumped to the required parts.

If your driver's license has expired, you should immediately stop driving motor vehicles and apply for renewal at the local traffic management bureau. There is a deadline for renewing a driver's license. If it has been expired for less than a year, you can follow the normal renewal process; if it has been expired for one to three years, the license will be revoked, but you can regain it by passing the subject one test; if it has been expired for more than three years, the license will be revoked. Article 57 of the "Traffic Regulations and Penalty Rules": The driver of a motor vehicle shall apply for renewal at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was issued or any other vehicle management office within 90 days before the expiration of the motor vehicle driver's license. Remedial measures for overdue renewal: Stop driving on the road: Avoid penalties and fines for driving without a license. Handle traffic violations: Complete this at the vehicle management office or traffic police station. Undergo a nearby medical examination: The examination mainly includes color blindness identification, limb integrity, and corrected vision. You can choose the medical examination hall at the vehicle management office, manual examination room, community hospital (with medical examination qualifications), or convenient medical examination service station. The results will be uploaded to the traffic management system. If the license has been expired for over a year, you need to prepare for the subject one test. Before preparation, report to the vehicle management office, explain the situation to the staff, and then schedule the subject one test. When applying, you should fill out the application form and submit the following documents: the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver, the motor vehicle driver's license, and a medical condition certificate issued by a county-level or above medical institution or a military regiment-level medical institution. For applying for a special small automatic passenger car for the disabled, you should submit a medical condition certificate issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health department. Materials required for renewing the driver's license: original ID card and its copy, qualified medical examination form from the hospital designated by the vehicle management office, three one-inch white background color photos, completed driver's license renewal application form, and the fee. Photos and medical examination certificates for renewal can be brought by yourself.

Relevant matters for renewing an expired driver's license: About renewal: For annual review and renewal of an expired driver's license, the old license must be surrendered to the vehicle management office. Before renewal, all traffic violations related to the license must be handled; otherwise, the application will not be accepted.
