The differences between stock cars and new cars are as follows: 1. New cars have no issues with various fluids, electronic components, batteries, rubber seals, and tires after leaving the factory; however, stock cars that have been parked for a long time without periodic inspections and maintenance are prone to erosion such as moisture and aging. 2. Stock cars do not undergo periodic inspection and maintenance measures, and some stock cars in 4S store garages are even directly exposed to scorching sun, wind, and rain, resulting in certain damages compared to new cars. 3. For stock cars parked for too long, without proper warehouse management, the aging degree of electronic components and rubber products is basically undetectable, requiring professional testing equipment. Many long-stocked vehicles also face issues like lack of oil or power, which are problems new cars do not have. Stock cars can be purchased, but the following conditions must be met: 1. The discount must be substantial enough: After all, no one can guarantee whether the purchased car will have quality issues in the future, so consumers should receive a significant discount price while taking the risk. 2. Stock cars in good condition: Although manufacturers do not ignore stock cars and perform a certain level of maintenance, it is still hard to ensure that the internal plastic parts of the car body do not age. Avoid purchasing stock cars in poor condition.

What to Do After Paying Off an Auto Loan?

After paying off an auto loan, you need to complete the following steps: 1. Retrieve the Vehicle Registration Certificate: Once the auto loan is fully paid, you must take your ID and relevant documents proving the loan is cleared to retrieve the vehicle registration certificate. If the loan was processed at a 4S dealership, go there to collect it; if it was processed at a bank, visit the bank. 2. Reclaim Pledged Items: After confirming the auto loan is paid off, return to the institution where the installment was processed to retrieve the mortgage documents and reclaim any pledged items. 3. Complete the Mortgage Release Process: When the auto loan was initially processed, the vehicle registration certificate was mortgaged to the bank. After paying off the loan, you need to complete the mortgage release process to fully own the vehicle. 4. Change the Insurance Beneficiary: When purchasing auto insurance, the beneficiary is typically the lending institution. Therefore, after clearing the auto loan, you should update the insurance beneficiary to yourself, the vehicle owner.

What does a red oil can on the car dashboard mean?

When a red oil can icon appears on the car dashboard, this warning light indicates severe engine oil blockage or insufficient oil level. In this situation, you should immediately stop the vehicle and preferably have it towed to a 4S shop for repair. Here are the major functions of engine oil: 1. Lubrication and friction reduction: Engine oil forms an oil film between two sliding surfaces, preventing direct metal-to-metal contact and ensuring smooth operation of components. 2. Cleaning and dispersion: High-quality oil can flush away surface contaminants through oil circulation, absorbing tiny metal particles in the engine which are then scraped down to the oil pan by piston rings. 3. Cooling: During engine operation, oil absorbs heat from high-temperature areas and carries it away, assisting in component cooling. 4. Sealing: Creates an oil film seal between piston rings and cylinders to prevent combustion gases from leaking into the crankcase. 5. Rust and corrosion prevention: Good oil adheres to component surfaces, protecting them from contact with air, acidic substances, and harmful gases, thus preventing corrosion. 6. Shock absorption: When cylinder pressure increases suddenly, the oil lubricates bearings to cushion the impact loads on pistons, piston rings, connecting rods and crankshaft bearings.
