I know more about the Santana and think choosing the right engine oil is quite important—don’t use it randomly. It’s best to follow the manufacturer’s standards. Most Volkswagen Santana models require oil that meets the VW 502 00 standard, such as 5W-40, which is more suitable due to its good cold-start performance and strong high-temperature protection. I’ve driven this car before, and using full synthetic oil makes the engine run smoother and reduces wear. For daily use, I recommend brands like Mobil or Shell—they’re reliable and fuel-efficient. Remember to change the oil regularly, every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers, and don’t exceed the interval too much, otherwise carbon buildup will affect performance. Additionally, climate matters too. In winter, use thinner oil with a 5W rating for easier starts, while in hotter southern regions, a higher viscosity like 40 offers better protection. In short, first check the vehicle manual or ask the dealership for the recommended specific grade. Don’t skimp on quality with inferior products—repairing a damaged engine will cost you even more.

If it is not more than one year after the expiration, the license will not be revoked. The replacement of a damaged motor vehicle driver's license is a service of replacing the old license with a new one, and the content of the driver's license will not be changed. The renewal of an expired motor vehicle driver's license refers to the expiration of the license's validity period. The specific expiration date can be found on the front right bottom of the driver's license.

Materials required for renewal: "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form"; this form will be randomly printed by the vehicle management office's service window after accepting the application and needs to be confirmed and signed by the applicant.

Are Rearview Mirrors Concave or Convex Mirrors?

Rearview mirrors are convex mirrors. This type of mirror has a spherical surface with varying radii of curvature, producing an image that appears smaller than actual size but with a wider field of view, similar to the effect of a camera's "wide-angle lens." Hence, they are also referred to as wide-angle mirrors. Such mirrors are typically used for exterior rearview mirrors and lower rearview mirrors. Located on both sides of the car's front and inside the vehicle, rearview mirrors display conditions behind, beside, and below the car, allowing drivers to indirectly observe these areas. They function as a "second pair of eyes," expanding the driver's field of vision. As crucial safety components, the mirror surface, shape, and operation of rearview mirrors are meticulously designed.

Where to Check the Production Date of Car Tires?

Car tire production dates can be found on the DOT (Department of Transportation) marking embossed on the tire. The 11-digit alphanumeric code immediately following the DOT marking represents the tire's identification or serial number. The last four digits of this serial number indicate the production date of the tire. These four digits are divided into two parts: the first two digits represent the week of the year, and the last two digits represent the year. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and extreme temperatures while driving. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning properties, along with excellent wear resistance, flex resistance, and low rolling resistance and heat generation.

Can license plate numbers be changed?

License plate numbers can be changed. You can apply for a change at the vehicle management office, but you need to transfer the vehicle or go through a change registration process to reselect a number. The procedure for changing a license plate number through the approval process is as follows: first, submit an application to the local traffic management department to cancel the current license plate, then wait for the traffic management department's approval. If the approval is granted, you also need to publish a notice in the newspaper declaring the cancellation of the license plate. If you want to reapply for a new license plate, you must wait until the specified time has passed and then bring the relevant documents to reapply for a new plate. License plates, commonly known as vehicle tags, refer to the plates hung on the front and rear of a vehicle. They are usually made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, and display the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. License plate numbers are identifiers for vehicles, much like ID numbers are for people.
