The Focus requires minor maintenance at 15,000 kilometers or 12 months, which includes changing the engine oil and oil filter. Major maintenance is required at 25,000 kilometers or 18 months, involving the replacement of engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin air filter, and fuel filter. Below is an introduction to car maintenance: 1. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as vehicle servicing. 2. Car maintenance mainly includes servicing the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, and power steering system. The purpose of maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. 3. Maintenance intervals vary significantly among different vehicle makes and brands due to differences in specific technical conditions. Different brands of vehicles are equipped with engines of varying designs. Some engines are made of better materials and have higher precision, resulting in relatively less wear, while others may have higher requirements for engine oil, even special requirements. Therefore, brand vehicles generally require corresponding original equipment manufacturer (OEM) engine oil for lubrication.

The 20,000 km maintenance for the Focus is quite important. My car has just hit this mileage, and I recommend first changing the engine oil and oil filter—don't delay too long to protect the engine's lifespan. Check the air filter; if it's too dirty, replace it, as it can affect fuel efficiency and performance. Don't forget tire rotation to ensure even wear and extend tire life. Checking the thickness of brake pads and discs is crucial—safety comes first. Ensure coolant and brake fluid levels are normal. Inspect all lights to make sure they work, avoiding nighttime issues. Give the chassis a general check for any unusual noises or leaks. Spending a bit on this maintenance now can save major repair costs later and keep the car running smoothly.

Can I Take the Subject 2 Test Without an ID Card?

You cannot take the Subject 2 test without your ID card. However, if your ID card is lost or expired, you can use a temporary ID card. If you don't have an ID card and need to use a temporary one, you must inform the driving test instructor in advance and follow the arrangements made by the driving school. According to Article 19, Paragraph 1 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," "first-time applicants for a motor vehicle driving license must fill out an application form and submit their identity proof." Therefore, you can take the Subject 2 test with a temporary ID card. Additionally, it's important to note that the validity period of a temporary resident ID card is three months. You can take the Subject 2 test within this validity period, but you will not be allowed to enter the test site if the card has expired. Therefore, make sure to take the test within the validity period of the document. If the temporary ID card expires due to special circumstances, you should promptly apply for a formal ID card or a new temporary ID card. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. It refers to the field driving skills test. For small vehicles (C1 and C2), the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-turn). Some regions also include a sixth item: highway card collection. According to Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), starting from June 1, 2021, the slope stop and start test is no longer required for C2 and C5 license applicants in the Subject 2 test. For large vehicles (AB licenses), the Subject 2 test covers 16 items. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the 16 items for AB license Subject 2 tests include: reversing into a parking space, passing continuous obstacles, curve driving, highway simulation test, width-limited gate, bumpy road, single-plank bridge, narrow road U-turn, slope stop and start, parallel parking, highway emergency handling, mountain road simulation, right-angle turns, rain and fog weather simulation, highway tire blowout, and tunnel simulation driving.

If this period exceeds three months, a late fee will be charged daily. The following situations will result in the motorcycle not being registered: 1. The certificates or vouchers submitted by the vehicle owner are invalid; 2. The origin certificate of the vehicle has been altered, or the vehicle owner listed on the origin certificate does not match the identity certificate; 3. The certificates or vouchers submitted by the vehicle owner do not match the vehicle; 4.

What Causes a Motorcycle to Stall When It Overheats?

The reasons why a motorcycle stalls when it overheats are: 1. Fuel supply system failure: Check if the fuel in the tank is exhausted. If there is sufficient fuel, check whether the fuel switch is turned on. If equipped with a fuel pump, check whether the fuel pump is working properly; 2. Disconnect the fuel line to check if there is fuel supply: Unscrew the carburetor drain screw to see if fuel flows out. If no fuel overflows, it indicates that the carburetor fuel path is blocked, and the fuel path should be cleared. Additional information: A motorcycle engine converts the thermal energy generated by igniting the fuel mixture in the cylinder into mechanical energy, and the crankshaft transmits the power to the rear wheel of the motorcycle through the transmission mechanism, turning it into the driving force of the vehicle. Due to the advantages of gasoline engines, such as light weight, small size, low noise and vibration, easy starting, and low cost, motorcycles generally use gasoline engines as their power devices.

Can a 600cc Motorcycle Be Licensed?

Motorcycles with a 600cc displacement cannot be licensed. According to regulations: two-stroke motorcycles, motor tricycles, motorcycles with a displacement of 50CC (including 50CC) or below, and motorcycles with a displacement of 250CC (including 250CC) or above are not allowed to be registered. China's motorcycle management regulations stipulate that motorcycles with a displacement of 80-250ML can be licensed. Those below 80ML are considered power-assisted and do not require a license plate, but a motorcycle driving license is needed for operation. Motorcycles exceeding 250cc are not allowed to be licensed. The following situations will result in motorcycles not being registered: 1. The proofs or certificates submitted by the vehicle owner are invalid; 2. The origin certificate of the vehicle is altered or the vehicle owner recorded in the origin certificate does not match the identity certificate; 3. The proofs or certificates submitted by the vehicle owner do not match the vehicle; 4.

What to Do When a Car Lacks Acceleration Power?

To address a car's lack of acceleration power, the solution involves cleaning the engine carbon deposits or promptly visiting a 4S shop or a professional repair shop for inspection and repair. Depending on the situation, appropriate lubrication or repairs should be performed to ensure driving safety. The reasons for a car's lack of acceleration power include: 1. Clutch slippage; 2. Abnormal engine oil level; 3. Use of poor-quality fuel, which can affect the gasoline filter and fuel lines, potentially leading to poor fuel supply and resulting in weak acceleration. It can also impact the lifespan of the exhaust system's three-way catalytic converter. If the timing belt is worn, causing the ignition timing to be too late or too early, it will similarly affect the acceleration performance.
