Retired vehicles refer to those that have reached their service life in operations such as commercial transport, taxis, racing, or military use, and have been decommissioned from their respective professions. Vehicles designated for retirement are either those that have been in use for a long time and are nearing the mandatory scrapping age limit, or those that have encountered significant issues and can no longer function normally, leading to their retirement. For consumers interested in purchasing military-retired vehicles, they must complete the relevant documentation and apply for the used vehicle tax payment procedures at the vehicle registration location's tax collection department. If purchasing a retired taxi, the sale can only proceed once the vehicle's service life has expired, with the possibility of applying for a two-year extension on the scrapping deadline. For vehicles involved in civil litigation and adjudicated by the People's Court, the owner must present the original court ruling, an introduction letter from the employing unit or a copy of their personal ID. If the vehicle was previously registered, proof of the registration date from the vehicle management department is also required.

What are the effects of a faulty oil sensor on a car?

If the oil sensor is faulty, it can have the following effects on the car: 1. The oil warning light will stay on continuously; 2. It will be impossible to know the real-time condition of the oil; 3. The engine may be completely damaged. The oil pressure sensor is a micro-electromechanical system that integrates a micro-sensor, actuator, signal processing and control circuit, interface circuit, communication, and power supply into one unit. The oil pressure sensor is installed in the main oil passage of the engine. When the engine is running, the pressure measurement device detects the oil pressure, converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal, and sends it to the signal processing circuit. After voltage and current amplification, the amplified pressure signal is transmitted via the signal line to the oil pressure gauge. This changes the ratio of current passing through the two coils inside the oil pressure gauge, thereby indicating the engine's oil pressure.

What is the flash point of engine oil?

The flash point of engine oil is generally around 220 degrees Celsius. Below is relevant information about the flash point of automotive engine oil: 1. Meaning of engine oil flash point: The flash point of engine oil is an indicator of the oil's volatility. The lighter the oil's fraction, the greater its volatility, and the lower its flash point. Conversely, the heavier the oil's fraction, the lower its volatility, and the higher its flash point. Additionally, the flash point is also an indicator of the fire hazard of petroleum products. 2. Factors affecting the flash point: The level of the flash point depends on the density of the flammable liquid, the air pressure at the liquid surface, or whether the flammable liquid is mixed with light components and the amount of light components present. If the flash point of a flammable liquid suddenly decreases during use, it may indicate an accident involving the mixing of light oil or hydrolysis, which must be noted for certain synthetic oils.

Will Poor Quality Engine Oil Increase Fuel Consumption?

Engine oil can affect fuel consumption. Engine oil provides good lubrication for the engine. If the lubrication is poor, the engine's movement resistance will increase, leading to higher fuel consumption. Therefore, engine oil not only impacts fuel consumption but also affects the engine's lifespan. It is recommended to change the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers. However, overfilling engine oil is also harmful, as it can damage various oil seals. It is advisable to drain some oil to keep it within the normal range. Below is additional information: 1. Function of Engine Oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine oil), has a density of approximately 0.91*10³ (kg/m³). It lubricates and reduces friction, aids in cooling, seals against leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and provides shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'lifeblood' of a car. 2. Composition of Engine Oil: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component, determining the basic properties of the lubricant, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing new functionalities. Additives are an essential part of engine oil.

What is the fuel consumption of the Accord as published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology?

The fuel consumption of the Accord as published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 7-10.0L/100km. The actual fuel consumption of a car is greatly influenced by road conditions and individual driving habits. Here is some relevant information about fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving a certain speed on the road for 100 kilometers. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment, using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, which is then converted into speed parameters. The vehicle is then driven at specified speeds to calculate the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the model. 2. Road condition fuel consumption: Road condition fuel consumption (Fuel-Economy-of-Chassis-Dynamometer-Test-Cycles) is a fuel indicator calculated by repeatedly testing the values measured when a vehicle is driven on specified roads at specified speeds and times. It is also called multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. The specification stipulates that each cycle includes various driving conditions and records driving conditions according to various indicators such as specified shift times, parking times, driving speeds, acceleration, braking, and deceleration in each cycle. The values measured by this method are closer to actual values.

What is the difference between a particulate filter and a three-way catalytic converter?

The differences between a particulate filter and a three-way catalytic converter are as follows: Brief description: The three-way catalytic converter converts harmful gases emitted by the vehicle into harmless gases through oxidation and reduction reactions; the particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the emission system of a diesel engine, and the regeneration or purification function of the filter must be completed on a controlled basis to prevent the filter from being clogged by soot. Function: The particulate filter burns the captured particulate emissions during vehicle operation; the three-way catalytic converter refers to the vehicle's purification device that converts harmful gases into harmless gases, thereby purifying the vehicle's exhaust, provided that there is still oxygen available and the air-fuel ratio is reasonable. Principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the engine exhaust particulate filter through a dedicated pipeline. After passing through the densely arranged bag-type filter inside, the carbon smoke particles are adsorbed on the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, burning off the carbon smoke particles adsorbed on it and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide that is then emitted.

Is the Levin a Hybrid Vehicle?

The Levin is a hybrid vehicle. The Toyota Levin's hybrid model excels in fuel economy and technology, but has the drawback of relatively high maintenance costs. Here is more information about hybrid vehicles: 1. Mild Hybrid: Mild hybrid models have minimal modifications compared to conventional models. Currently, 48V mild hybrids are predominant, though manufacturers like Cadillac have introduced 90V mild hybrids. These systems add a 90V battery to fuel-powered models, providing limited driving force during vehicle start-up and rapid acceleration. By reducing the engine's workload in high fuel-consumption scenarios, they help lower fuel consumption. However, the electric motor in mild hybrids is very weak and cannot independently propel the vehicle. Additionally, their fuel efficiency performance is not particularly outstanding. 2. Hybrid Electric (HEV): Hybrid electric technology is primarily mastered by Japanese manufacturers like Toyota and Honda. HEVs feature significantly larger batteries and more powerful motors than mild hybrids. Similar to mild hybrids, HEVs do not require external charging; the onboard battery is charged through energy recovery during braking or downhill driving, as well as by the engine during steady driving. 3. Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV): Plug-in hybrid models are equipped with a larger-capacity battery, and their engine is powerful enough to drive the vehicle independently. Unlike the previous two hybrid types, PHEVs can operate solely on electric power.
