Currently, there are no specific regulations from relevant authorities regarding the service life of household vehicles, but there are clear stipulations on mileage. A household vehicle can run a maximum of 600,000 kilometers and will be scrapped after reaching this mileage. Regulations related to vehicle scrapping: Since May 1, 2013, the new regulations for phasing out old vehicles have been implemented, which include the cancellation of the scrapping age limit for private cars and a mandatory scrapping at a maximum mileage of 600,000 kilometers. Documents required for scrapping: Copy of resident ID card (for private vehicles), copy of the enterprise organization code certificate with official seal (for company vehicles), "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate", "Motor Vehicle Driving License", Application Form for Motor Vehicle Registration, Transfer, Cancellation/Transfer-in, Power of Attorney (to be filled out), and the motor vehicle itself.

What type of engine oil should be used for China VI vehicles?

China VI vehicles use 5W30 semi-synthetic engine oil. 5W30 is a four-stroke engine oil, representing the viscosity value of the engine oil. In 5W30, the 'W' stands for winter, and the number before 'W' indicates the oil's flow performance at low temperatures. The smaller this number, the better the starting performance in cold conditions. The number after 'W' represents the oil's stability at high temperatures, with a higher number indicating better stability. The '5' means the oil can withstand external temperatures as low as -30°C, while '30' indicates that the oil's kinematic viscosity standard at 100°C is 30. Classification of engine oil: Automotive engine oils are divided into three types: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil. Mineral oil is only suitable for low-end vehicles or some new cars. Semi-synthetic oil is a blend of conventional oil and synthetic base oil, generally suitable for non-turbocharged mid-range models. Fully synthetic oil has excellent resistance to high-temperature volatilization and deposits, making it suitable for high-temperature, high-speed, high-compression ratio engines, such as turbocharged engines. Functions of engine oil: Lubrication to reduce wear—there is rapid relative sliding between the engine's pistons and cylinders, as well as between the main shaft and bearings, which can easily cause wear. High-quality engine oil forms a sufficiently thick oil film between these sliding surfaces, separating the moving parts and reducing wear. Cooling—engine oil carries heat back to the oil pan and dissipates it into the air, helping the radiator cool the engine. Cleaning—good engine oil can circulate carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil pan, flushing away contaminants generated on the working surfaces through the flow of the lubricating oil.

Will stalling at a traffic light result in penalty points?

Stalling at a traffic light will not result in penalty points. During normal driving, stalling when the traffic light is red does not incur penalty points, and even stalling when the light is green will not lead to penalty points. However, if the vehicle crosses the solid line while the light is red, penalty points will be imposed. Below is relevant information: Introduction: Traffic lights are signals that direct traffic flow, typically consisting of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light permits passage, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Classification: Traffic lights include motor vehicle signals, non-motor vehicle signals, pedestrian crossing signals, directional indicator lights (arrow signals), lane signals, flashing warning signals, and railway crossing signals.

Which is More Difficult: Subject One or Subject Four?

Both subjects are theoretical exams. Subject One focuses on driving knowledge, while Subject Four emphasizes safety knowledge. The questions in Subject Four often do not require rote memorization; correct answers can be deduced through practical reasoning. Subject One, however, includes more memorization-based content such as traffic police gestures and road sign markings. From this perspective, Subject One is relatively more difficult. Exam content for Subject One: Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; laws, regulations, and road traffic signals; fundamentals of safe and civilized driving; basic knowledge related to motor vehicle driving operations. Exam content for Subject Four: Requirements for safe and civilized driving operations; safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions; emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts; and post-accident handling knowledge.

Is an Appointment Required for Subject 4 Exam?

Subject 4 requires an appointment, which is generally automatically scheduled for candidates after they pass Subject 3. Below is relevant information about Subject 4: Exam Content: Subject 4 primarily covers safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-traffic accident handling knowledge. Retake Instructions: If Subject 4 is not passed, there is no need to retake previously passed subjects (Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3). Candidates can schedule a retake themselves without additional fees. There are no appointment restrictions for the safe and civilized driving theory exam. However, the driving skill test permit is valid for three years. If the applicant fails to complete the exam within this period, the results of any passed subjects will be invalidated.
