FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar is best suited for engine oil with the specification 5W40, and the recommended brand is Castrol Magnetec. If you wish to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose from brands such as Shell, Mobil, Castrol, and Total. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, resulting in smoother cold starts for the car. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher value means the oil can maintain its viscosity index better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in a FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop and allow the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain; Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, fill about three-quarters of a standard oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, they should be repaired; After stopping the engine, pull out the dipstick to check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.

As a long-time owner of a FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar, after several years of use, I've found that fully synthetic oil like 5W-40 is the best choice. This viscosity suits the Sagitar's engine design well, providing effective lubrication to reduce wear and meeting the VW 502 00 standard. I usually use Shell Helix or Mobil 1, which have strong cleaning properties, resist thinning in summer heat, allow quick cold starts in winter, and keep the engine running smoother. The oil change interval is recommended at around 10,000 kilometers, and don't forget to regularly check the dipstick—top up with fresh oil if the level is low. Why is this important? Good oil improves fuel economy, protects components, and extends the car's lifespan. I've tried cheaper options, but after switching to fully synthetic, the noise reduced, and long drives became more reassuring. Always check the manual or consult the dealership to confirm specifications.

What does the 'H' on car tires represent?

Car tire 'H' refers to the speed rating of the tire, which indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims, designed to be fitted on various vehicles or machinery. They support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure driving performance. The steps to replace a car tire are: 1. Park the car, turn off the engine, and apply the handbrake; 2. Place heavy objects in front of and behind the wheel to prevent sliding, and set up a triangular warning sign behind the vehicle; 3. Use a wrench to loosen the lug nuts of the tire to be replaced in a diagonal sequence; 4. Position the jack on the side of the tire to be replaced and lift the vehicle to a certain height; 5. Remove the lug nuts and take off the tire; 6. Install the spare or new tire and tighten the lug nuts in a diagonal sequence; 7. Lower the vehicle by releasing the jack and ensure that all lug nuts are securely tightened.

Is it allowed to make a U-turn in front of a crosswalk?

If there is a U-turn sign in front of the crosswalk and the left side of the car is a dashed line, you can make a U-turn directly without being restricted by traffic lights. If there is a guardrail in the middle of the road, you cannot make a U-turn directly and must cross the crosswalk before making a U-turn. Prohibited U-turn situations are as follows: U-turns are prohibited when there is a 'No U-turn' sign or a 'No Left Turn' sign: If there is a sign prohibiting U-turns, then U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. A U-turn is an extension of a left turn, so if there is a sign prohibiting left turns at an intersection, U-turns are also prohibited there. U-turns are prohibited at crosswalks: U-turns are not allowed at crosswalks. If U-turns are permitted at an intersection, you must cross the crosswalk before making a U-turn and cannot make a U-turn on the crosswalk. U-turns are prohibited when there is no left-turn lane: Even if you are in the leftmost lane, if there is no sign permitting left turns, U-turns are not allowed. U-turns are prohibited within the second left-turn lane: When a vehicle is in the second left-turn lane, it cannot make a U-turn. In the absence of any signs, vehicles can only make U-turns in the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns are prohibited at solid yellow lines: U-turns are not allowed at solid yellow lines. Even if there is a sign permitting U-turns, you must wait for the green light and cross the stop line before making a U-turn. U-turns are prohibited on highways: Crossing the central divider to make a U-turn on a highway is illegal and will result in a fine and 12 demerit points. If you miss an exit on the highway, continue driving to the next exit and leave the highway. Do not attempt an illegal U-turn. Precautions for U-turns: When making a U-turn, you should turn on the left turn signal in advance, the maximum speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, and you must not hinder other vehicles and pedestrians traveling normally.

How Many Years Until a Private Car is Mandatorily Scrapped?

For domestic 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and mini vehicles, there is no usage period limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrapping. In addition to the above-mentioned vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Commercial vehicles have scrapping period limits, as follows: Small and mini taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger cars have a scrapping period of 12 years. Public transport passenger cars have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger cars have a scrapping period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger cars have a scrapping period of 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and stamp it with the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping period, after inspection and confirmation by the vehicle inspection office that they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the chassis must be cut. The owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can hand over the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to a non-commercial vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping period. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of motor vehicle registration, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number for a new vehicle registration. The application must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation of registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

Remedial Measures for Driver's License Downgrade?

There is no remedial measure; the only option is to apply for an additional driving license. After meeting the specified time requirements, you can apply for the additional driving test. Upon passing the exam, you can obtain a higher-level driver's license. Drivers holding licenses for large buses, trailers, urban buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks will have their highest permissible driving categories revoked by the vehicle management office under the following circumstances, and the driver will be notified to complete the downgrade and license replacement within 30 days: Being involved in a traffic accident resulting in death and bearing equal or greater responsibility, without constituting a crime. Accumulating 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle. Failing to undergo the required review for three consecutive scoring cycles. If the driver fails to complete the downgrade and license replacement within the specified time, the vehicle management office will announce the revocation of the driving qualification for the highest permissible category. After completing the downgrade and license replacement, if the driver applies to reinstate the revoked driving category, they must have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before application, and must not have been involved in any traffic accident resulting in death with equal or greater responsibility. Procedure for downgrading the highest permissible driving category and completing the license replacement: After passing the relevant exam, obtain the "Motor Vehicle Driver's Illegal Full-Point Exam Information Feedback Notice" (for Class A and B licenses, downgrade information will be noted on the notice). After the suspension period ends, present your ID card and the "Motor Vehicle Driver's Illegal Full-Point Exam Information Feedback Notice" to the traffic police department where the license was confiscated to retrieve your driver's license. Submit the following documents to the vehicle management office at the issuing location to complete the downgrade and license replacement (if there are no pending traffic violations, the process will be completed within one working day): Original "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form." Original and copy of the driver's ID. Original motor vehicle driver's license. Three recent half-length, front-facing, white-background, color ID photos (if local regulations require a digital photo submission receipt, include it as well).
