Does running out of windshield washer fluid affect the car?

Running out of windshield washer fluid does not directly affect the car itself. Impact on the washer motor: If the car is out of windshield washer fluid and the washer function is not used, there is no impact on the vehicle. However, if the washer function is used for an extended period without fluid, the washer motor may run dry and potentially burn out. Impact on driving safety: The most critical point is that running out of windshield washer fluid significantly affects driving safety. Windshield washer fluid serves multiple functions including cleaning, antifreeze, antistatic, and anti-corrosion. Some premium washer fluids also feature rapid snow/ice melting, anti-glare, and anti-fog properties, which greatly enhance driving safety. When driving in special conditions such as highways or rainy weather, a dirty windshield caused by external environmental factors can obstruct the driver's view of the road ahead, increasing the risk of accidents.

Circumstances Where Participation is Not Allowed: The local area has not implemented the 'Study to Reduce Points' measure; the driver has accumulated 12 or more points in the current scoring cycle or has two or more full-point records; the driver had two or more full-point records in the previous scoring cycle; the driver's license is in the probationary period; the driver has already reduced the maximum of 6 points in the current scoring cycle; the driver has a record of hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving, or using forged or altered driver's licenses in the last three scoring cycles.

Is Vehicle and Vessel Tax Mandatory?

Vehicle and vessel tax must be paid annually. As long as the taxpayer meets the payment criteria, they are required to pay the vehicle and vessel tax once every year. Regulations on Vehicle and Vessel Tax Payment: According to Article 19 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Vehicle and Vessel Tax Law of the People's Republic of China": For newly purchased vehicles or vessels, the taxable amount for the year of purchase shall be calculated on a monthly basis starting from the month when the tax liability arises. The taxable amount is the annual taxable amount divided by 12 and then multiplied by the number of taxable months. Notes on Tax Payment: For stolen or robbed vehicles or vessels that have been recovered after tax refunds were processed, taxpayers shall calculate and pay the vehicle and vessel tax starting from the month when the relevant proof is issued by the public security authorities. For vehicles or vessels that have already paid the vehicle and vessel tax and are transferred within the same tax year, no additional tax is required, nor will any tax be refunded.

What are the consequences of using semi-synthetic oil for a year?

Semi-synthetic oil will deteriorate after one year of use, which can damage the engine. Replacement cycle for semi-synthetic oil: In most Chinese cities, semi-synthetic oil can be replaced every 7,500 kilometers or 9 months. If there is too much dust in the air, the temperature is very low (-20 degrees Celsius), or the car is frequently driven short distances (each trip is less than 8 kilometers), it is recommended to increase the oil change frequency to 5,000 kilometers or every six months. Shelf life of semi-synthetic oil: National regulations clearly state that the shelf life of sealed oil is generally within 5 years, and semi-synthetic oil also falls within this range. However, once opened, semi-synthetic oil deteriorates more quickly and should ideally be used within six months. Of course, how quickly semi-synthetic oil deteriorates also depends on the storage environment—the greater the temperature fluctuations and humidity, the faster the oil will deteriorate.

What Causes the Car Display Screen to Suddenly Go Black?

There are several reasons why a car display screen may go black: DVD Operation Lag: If the DVD operation experiences lag, causing the car display screen to go black and become unresponsive to touch, restart the power supply of the car display screen; Software Incompatibility: Third-party software may be incompatible with the system. Check if any new software has been downloaded recently. A crash could be caused by unstable programs or insufficient memory. In this case, it is necessary to free up some memory and uninstall the relevant software; Screen Damage: Determine whether the screen is damaged, if there is an issue with the wiring, or if the crash is caused by the IC or motherboard. This is the most common scenario. If it is a hardware issue, the only solution is to take the car to a 4S shop for repair or to a repair shop for inspection.

Can a Bulging Tire Run 100 Kilometers?

A bulging tire cannot run 100 kilometers. The impacts and causes of tire bulging are as follows: Impacts of Tire Bulging: A bulging tire not only affects driving but also poses a serious risk of sudden blowout at any time, which is a major accident hazard for vehicle operation. Once a tire bulge is detected, it must be immediately inspected and replaced at a professional tire shop. Causes of Tire Bulging: Excessive tire pressure makes the tire too hard and reduces elasticity, increasing the risk of blowout upon external impact. Insufficient tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, making it prone to breakage of the tire cords when hitting hard objects. Therefore, tire bulging is not due to poor tire quality but is caused by uneven road surfaces and unstable tire pressure.
