Vios uses a 16mm long spark plug socket. The spark plug introduces high-voltage electricity into the combustion chamber, causing it to jump across the electrode gap to generate sparks that ignite the combustible mixture in the cylinder. The structure of a spark plug is as follows: 1. Steel shell: The lower part has fine threads for installation into the cylinder head spark plug hole, while the upper part features a hexagonal nut for attaching the spark plug socket to tighten or loosen the spark plug. 2. The metal rod serves as the center electrode. Its lower end contacts the upper end of the center electrode through conductive glass, and the upper end is equipped with a terminal nut. 3. High-alumina ceramic insulator between the steel shell and center electrode ensures electrical insulation. 4. The lowest part of the steel shell contains a curved side electrode. 5. The middle exterior of the steel shell has a copper gasket.

What size socket is needed to change a tire?

For changing tires, a socket size of 19 to 21 is typically used. Most car trunks are equipped with a tire removal tool, which features a cap sleeve fixed to the middle of a straight tubular tire nut socket. The car tire socket wrench is a type of socket specifically designed for car tires. This socket can be used to both tighten bearing caps and tire nuts. When tightening bearing caps, the straight tube of the socket can be inserted into the bearing conduit, providing guidance and stability, making the process easier, faster, and safer. Steps to change a tire: Park the car and engage the handbrake after turning off the engine; place heavy objects in front of and behind the wheels to prevent sliding, and set up a triangular warning sign behind the car; use a wrench to loosen the tire bolts in a diagonal pattern; place the jack on the side of the car where the tire needs to be changed and lift the vehicle to a certain height; remove the bolts and take off the tire; replace it with a spare or new tire, tightening the bolts in a diagonal pattern; lower the vehicle by releasing the jack, and ensure that all bolts and nuts are properly tightened.

Is it necessary to change engine oil at a 4S shop?

When changing engine oil, if the vehicle is within the warranty period, it is necessary to go to a 4S shop; if it exceeds the warranty period, there is no need to go to a 4S shop for the oil change. Method for changing engine oil: Place the old oil container under the oil pan at the bottom of the vehicle's engine compartment, use a specialized wrench to unscrew the oil filter and remove it (the location of the oil filter varies by vehicle model); slowly loosen the oil pan drain bolt to release the old oil. After a period of draining, reinstall the drain bolt, but do not overtighten it to prevent damage to the oil pan. Once the oil is fully drained, tighten the bolt (not too tight), then pour the new oil into the engine and screw on the oil filter. After adding the oil, remember to check the oil dipstick. Precautions for changing engine oil: Choose the appropriate oil. Strictly select the oil grade specified in the user manual; drain and inspect; add the correct amount of oil. Do not add too much or too little; recheck after changing the oil. Do not add too much or too little.

Do I Need to File for a Grille Replacement?

Normally, replacing the grille does not require filing for record. Modifying the car grille is considered a legal modification and does not need further registration. According to the latest "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations," during the registration inspection (annual inspection), the actual appearance of the vehicle should match the photo, except for grille modifications. Car modifications that do not require filing: Body decals, as long as they do not exceed 30% of the body area, can be driven normally without filing. If they exceed 30%, a fine will be imposed, and the original state must be restored; Anti-collision devices, as long as they are safely and stably installed, do not require filing; If the original wheel specifications are not changed, filing is not necessary; If the high-end version has xenon lights, they can be modified, but a lens must be installed. Filing process: The owner should apply for a modification registration at the vehicle management office within 10 days after the change. The vehicle management office will process the relevant procedures on the same day of acceptance. This means that owners who want to modify their cars no longer need to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first change the vehicle color, replace the engine, etc., and then file for registration with the vehicle management office.

How many kilometers does a car need to drive to replace the spark plugs?

Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it is recommended to refer to the user manual. The following standards can be used as a reference for maintenance and replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Methods to determine if a spark plug is damaged: Remove the spark plug and observe its appearance color to assess its condition. A normal spark plug's insulator skirt and electrode should appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug has a reddish-brown insulator skirt, with an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plug is covered in oil or deposits but is not damaged, it can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plug is severely damaged, showing signs such as blistering at the top, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes, the cause of the damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace the spark plug with a new one. Additionally, if the spark plug appears black as if smoked, it indicates the wrong heat range was selected or the mixture is too rich, with oil seeping up.

What does the OBDII protocol mean?

OBDII protocol refers to the implementation of standardized detection procedures with strict emission targeting, used for real-time monitoring of vehicle exhaust emissions. The working principle of OBDII is: 1. During normal vehicle operation, the input and output signals of the vehicle's electronic control system vary within a certain range following specific patterns. 2. When the signals from the electronic control system circuit become abnormal and exceed the normal variation range, and this abnormality persists for a certain period, the ECU determines that a fault has occurred in this part. The malfunction indicator light is then activated, and the monitor stores this fault as a code in its internal RAM.

The requirement for upgrading from Class C to B1 license is to have held a Class C driver's license for more than three years, with no record of being deducted 12 points in the two most recent consecutive scoring cycles before the upgrade, no record of drunk driving, and no record of being primarily or fully responsible for a fatal accident. The age must be between 21 and 50 years old. Conditions for upgrading from Class B to Class A: The requirements for upgrading from Class B to Class A are similar to those for upgrading from Class C to Class B. Upgrading to A3 requires holding a Class B license for more than one year, upgrading to A2 requires holding it for more than three years, and upgrading to A1 requires holding it for more than five years. There are also requirements that the deduction of points does not exceed 12 points within the corresponding period.
