Replace engine oil and filter, replace brake pads, replace spark plugs. The following is a related introduction about car maintenance: 1. Concept: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. Car maintenance technology is the method of maintaining a car using production tools according to certain technical requirements. Depending on the characteristics of the work and the execution conditions, car maintenance has the following different work methods: cleaning, inspection, supply, lubrication, fastening, adjustment, replacement, etc. 2. Purpose: The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean and tidy, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults from occurring, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service cycle. Daily car maintenance is very important. Neglecting daily maintenance will not only cause unnecessary damage to the vehicle but also endanger driving safety.

My car just hit the 50,000-kilometer milestone, and as a passionate car enthusiast, I meticulously performed a full set of maintenance. Looking back, changing the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers is basic practice, but at 50,000 kilometers, I paid extra attention to the tires: checked for wear, performed wheel balancing to prevent uneven tire wear, and replaced both the air filter and cabin air filter as they were clogged with dust, affecting performance. The braking system couldn’t be overlooked—I inspected the brake pad thickness and replaced the brake fluid to ensure quick response. The spark plugs also needed attention; if they hadn’t been replaced before, they might need renewal to prevent ignition issues. Checking the transmission fluid was crucial too, especially for automatic cars, as aged fluid can lead to rough shifting. Finally, I gave a quick check to the battery charge and suspension to ensure comfort and safety on long drives. After all this, the car runs as smoothly as when it was new—never skimp on small expenses to avoid big problems later.

My car just hit 50,000 kilometers. As a frequent business traveler, I focus on essential maintenance items. Oil change tops the list, paired with a filter replacement. Checking tire pressure and tread wear is a safety must—a blowout on the highway would be disastrous. The brake system also needs inspection, with new pads or fluid if wear is significant. For filters, I replaced the air filter since clogging increases fuel consumption. Spark plugs are changed as per the manual's 30,000 km recommendation. I also checked the coolant level, topping it up to prevent overheating. On a limited budget, prioritizing these core maintenance items noticeably improved performance, making commutes smoother. Regular upkeep saves on repair costs—car maintenance is like financial planning; don’t wait for problems to escalate.

What are the inconveniences of having an out-of-province license plate?

Here are the specific inconveniences of having an out-of-province license plate: 1. Lost license plate: If the vehicle registration certificate or license plate is lost, it can only be reissued at the vehicle's registered location. Vehicles without license plates are not allowed on the road, and driving without them may result in penalties such as a 12-point deduction. Therefore, it is necessary to promptly go to the vehicle's registered location for reissuance. 2. Annual inspection: Although there are policies supporting out-of-province annual inspections, the procedures, required documents, and rules vary from place to place. 3. Traffic restrictions: Large cities with high populations impose travel restrictions on vehicles with out-of-province license plates. For example, in Beijing, vehicles with out-of-province license plates cannot enter within the 5th Ring Road during rush hours, and in Tianjin, out-of-province vehicles are not allowed to enter the inner ring.

Is 0W20 Engine Oil Underpowered at High Speeds?

High-speed underperformance is not necessarily caused by the use of 0W20 engine oil. Below are relevant explanations regarding high-speed underperformance: 1. Explanation: A car's underperformance at high speeds has little to do with the engine oil grade. For Japanese cars, using 0W20 engine oil should not result in high-speed underperformance, as the majority of Japanese vehicles use 0W20 oil. A small number of models use 30-viscosity oil, such as the Nissan X-Trail and the Nissan Patrol 4.0L version. 2. Differences Between Japanese and German Cars: Japanese cars cannot use 40-viscosity oil, except in three cases: (1) Older vehicles, i.e., cars with higher mileage. (2) Performance vehicles. (3) Cars experiencing oil burning. For German cars, using 0W20 engine oil might lead to high-speed underperformance, as German vehicles generally recommend the use of 40-viscosity oil.

Does Installing a Rearview Radar Affect New Car Registration?

Installing a rearview radar does not affect new car registration. Requirements for vehicle registration: According to the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations," all window glass should be intact and free from mirror-reflective sunshade films. The visible light transmittance of the front windshield and other glass areas in the driver's line of sight must be greater than or equal to 70%. Additional interior decorations and auxiliary reversing devices can be registered as long as they do not affect safety or license plate recognition. Precautions for installing a rearview radar: The installation of the sensors should be moderately tight, and the sensor mounting holes should be trimmed to avoid burrs. If the sensors are pressed too tightly, the internal vibration plate cannot vibrate and emit ultrasonic waves. If installed too loosely, the sensors may change direction due to car vibrations, detecting the ground and causing false alarms.

What is the speed limit for urban roads?

Urban road speed limit is 40 kilometers per hour. Regulations for motor vehicles on roads: Do not exceed the speed indicated by speed limit signs or markings; On roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction without speed limit signs or markings, the maximum speed for urban roads is 70 km/h. The maximum speed for closed motor vehicle-only roads and highways is 80 km/h. Precautions for urban road speed limits: Speeding penalties: Exceeding the limit by less than 10% incurs no fine but 3 demerit points. Exceeding by 10-20% results in a 50 RMB fine and 3 demerit points. Exceeding by 70% leads to a 2000 RMB fine, 6 demerit points, and possible license revocation.

What are the causes of inner rear tire wear?

Inner rear tire wear is caused by deformation of suspension system linkages, loose ball joints, or damaged rubber bushings. Causes of inner rear tire wear: Regular inspection of the vehicle chassis is recommended. Damaged chassis screws should be tightened to specified torque or replaced promptly. Severe wear on the outer shoulder of the tire tread, presenting as an external cone shape, indicates incorrect wheel camber angle or prolonged lack of tire rotation. With regular tire rotation, excessive outer shoulder wear suggests excessive positive camber, while severe inner tread wear indicates insufficient positive camber. Regulations for inner rear tire wear: The wear indicator mark on tires is approximately 1.6mm thick. When tire wear reaches this indicator, immediate tire replacement is required.

How Long Does a Motorcycle Engine Last?

Generally, it lasts about 6-8 years. Motorcycles require frequent oil changes to ensure proper operation. Under normal conditions, a motorcycle can last up to 100,000 kilometers. Factors affecting motorcycle lifespan: The lifespan of a motorcycle depends on driving habits, road conditions, environment, and other factors. Proper maintenance significantly impacts engine longevity. New engine precautions: New engines must be broken in according to the manual, with fresh oil replaced after the break-in period. Regularly change the oil and perform routine maintenance. In winter, idle for 3-5 minutes before use (to raise engine oil temperature), and after high-speed riding, idle or coast at low speed (to let the oil temperature gradually decrease). Avoid washing the entire machine with large amounts of water to prevent damage to electrical components. During normal operation, avoid sudden acceleration or heavy loads.
