At 40,000 kilometers, the car maintenance items include replacing the engine oil, oil filter, and spark plugs, as well as inspecting the wheel hubs and braking system. Below are the detailed descriptions of the car maintenance items: 1. Engine oil and oil filter replacement: This mainly pertains to the maintenance of the lubrication system. The primary function of the lubrication system is to effectively lubricate various components of the car engine to prevent excessive wear. The oil filter's role is to remove various impurities from the engine oil, ensuring the normal operation of the lubrication system. The oil filter should be replaced along with the engine oil during an oil change. Under normal circumstances, the car should be serviced every 5,000 kilometers. 2. Filter replacement: The air filter's function is to filter the air before it enters the cylinders, removing impurities, dust, sand, and other foreign particles. The cleaning and maintenance of the air filter depend on the usage environment. The gasoline filter is typically replaced after driving 20,000 to 25,000 kilometers. 3. Spark plug replacement: Spark plugs are consumable parts and should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. In addition, components such as brake fluid, transmission oil, battery, throttle, fuel injectors, and brake pads are part of the inspection items during routine maintenance, with maintenance performed based on usage conditions.

How many years can a China 5 vehicle be used?

As long as it passes the vehicle inspection, it can be driven until it is no longer operable. Even with the introduction of China 6, it has no impact on the service life of already sold China 5 vehicles. The implementation of China 6 is only to regulate automakers, requiring them to produce and sell vehicles that meet the "China 6" standard. This has little to do with consumers buying or choosing cars. Therefore, there is no difference in the service life between China 5, China 6 (or even China 4) vehicles. The relevant introduction to vehicle emissions is as follows: Vehicle emission standards: These refer to regulations on the content of harmful gases emitted from vehicle waste, such as CO (carbon monoxide), HC+NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulates, soot). Implementation sequence: China first implemented the China 1 emission standard, followed by China 2, China 3, China 4, China 5, and China 6. Each upgrade in emission standards significantly reduces vehicle exhaust emissions. From the past standards up to China 5, each increase in standards reduces single-vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%.

Can a Car Be Licensed After Window Tinting?

Whether the car can be licensed depends on the specific situation. It is recommended that the owner first obtain the license plate, as incorrect tint color (e.g., too dark) may affect the licensing process. Impact of window tinting on licensing: Whether a newly tinted car can be licensed mainly depends on whether the applied window film meets the specified standards. Currently, the vehicle management authorities primarily refer to the GB7258-2004 "Safety Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation" enacted in 2004. Requirements for window tinting by the vehicle management office: The driver's compartment must ensure the driver's forward and side visibility. The visible light transmittance of the front windshield and the glass areas outside the windshield used for the driver's viewing area must not be less than 70%. Mirror-like reflective sunshade films are not allowed on any window glass.

Can Children Sit in the Front Passenger Seat?

For safety reasons, it is not recommended for young children to sit in the front passenger seat. Here are the relevant details: Regulations: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," and the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123 "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," there are no explicit mandatory regulations prohibiting children from sitting in the front passenger seat or requiring the use of child safety seats. However, because sitting in the front passenger seat is relatively dangerous for children, for safety reasons, children under the age of 14 should sit in the rear seats, and younger children are best placed in child safety seats. Airbags: It is very unsafe for children to sit in the front passenger seat, as both the airbag and seatbelt pose significant risks. In the event of a sudden collision, the deployed airbag can exert considerable force on a child, which their body may not be able to withstand. Manufacturer's Instructions: Most car manufacturers now specify in their manuals that children under 12 years of age (or under 1.4 meters tall) should not sit in the front seat. If it is absolutely necessary to transport a child, a child car seat should be prepared to prevent potential harm to the child.

What to Do When Windshield Wipers Don't Clean Properly?

Here are the reasons why windshield wipers don't clean properly: Dirty windshield: Inadequate cleaning of the windshield during regular car washes can leave sticky particles on the glass, preventing the wipers from cleaning properly and potentially damaging them. Visiting a car wash for a thorough windshield cleaning can solve this issue. Hardened wiper blades: If the wiper blades have hardened due to aging, you can either replace them with new ones or clean the wipers with a lubricant. Misaligned wiper arm angle: Adjust the angle of the wiper arm. Use an adjustment wrench to hold the wiper and gently rotate it to align it properly. Alternatively, visit a repair shop for professional adjustment. Frozen wipers: Wipers are typically made of rubber, which can freeze and harden in low winter temperatures. After starting the car, direct some warm air toward the windshield to raise its temperature slightly before using the wipers.

What Components Make Up the Rear Axle of a Vehicle?

Rear axle consists of the drive shaft and transmission gears. The rear axle of a vehicle refers to the axle located at the rear. In front-wheel-drive vehicles, the rear axle merely serves as a trailing axle, primarily bearing the load. Below is an introduction to the impact of replacing the rear axle on a car and the functions of the rear axle: Impact of replacing the rear axle on a car: The rear axle affects the four-wheel alignment data of the vehicle. Some vehicles adjust wheel data based on the rear axle. If the rear axle of a sedan is deformed or the rear axle shaft is bent, it not only causes the load to concentrate on the inner shoulder of the inner tire during driving but also reduces the tire's contact area with the ground, increasing the pressure per unit area and accelerating wear on the inner tire. Additionally, the vehicle may sway from side to side during driving, leading to sawtooth or irregular wear on the tire shoulders. Functions of the rear axle: The power transmitted from the clutch, gearbox, and drive shaft is reduced in speed and increased in torque through the reducer, which then transfers this torque to the drive wheels via the half-shafts. It bears the load of the rear axle. The reaction forces and moments from the road surface are transmitted to the frame through the leaf springs. During driving, the rear wheel brakes play a major role in braking, and during parking, the rear wheel brakes provide the parking brake function.
