The manufacturing date of a car can be checked in the following two locations: 1. Below the B-pillar on the passenger side: Open the door to see this plate, which only specifies the year and month, and includes the vehicle's VIN. 2. The certificate of conformity that comes with the new car: Located in the upper right corner of the certificate, the production date here can be specified down to the exact day. It should be noted that the above two methods may not apply to all vehicle models. When a new car arrives at the dealership, there will be a paper manufacturing plate on the windshield in front of the driver's seat. This paper plate indicates the VIN and the official fuel consumption. If the date at the very bottom of the paper plate is specified down to the exact day, it can be considered as the manufacturing date. If the plate only specifies the year and month, it cannot be used as the manufacturing date.

What are the benefits of engine oil?

Benefits of engine oil: 1. It can reduce friction and wear between moving parts, such as minimizing friction between cylinder liners and piston rings (or camshafts); 2. It absorbs heat generated in the combustion chamber and piston crowns, cooling the engine and preventing overheating; 3. It fills the gaps between piston rings and cylinder liners, preventing leakage of combustion pressure (engine power); 4. It prevents contaminants and oxide impurities produced during combustion from adhering to internal engine components, maintaining cleanliness; 5. It neutralizes acidic substances generated by combustion gases, protecting the engine from rust and corrosion. Engine oil, used in automotive engines, is a type of engine lubricant composed of base oil and additives.

How often should spark plugs be replaced for small cars?

Small car spark plug replacement intervals depend on the material. Nickel spark plugs should be replaced after 30,000 kilometers, platinum spark plugs after 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers, while iridium spark plugs are more wear-resistant and can last 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Platinum-iridium alloy spark plugs should be replaced after 100,000 kilometers. Commonly known as spark plugs, their function is to discharge the pulsed high voltage from the high-voltage wire, ionizing the air between the two electrodes to generate an electric spark, thereby igniting the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Spark plugs are categorized into standard spark plugs and insulator-protruding spark plugs.

What is the mileage for the second maintenance?

The second maintenance is recommended at 10,000 kilometers or 9 months, whichever comes first. The scope of the second maintenance includes all the tasks of the first-level maintenance, as well as checking and adjusting the working condition of the engine and electrical equipment, removing and cleaning the oil pan and oil filter, inspecting and adjusting the steering and braking mechanisms, removing and cleaning the front and rear wheel hub bearings, adding lubricating oil, removing and inspecting tires for rotation. The purpose of the second car maintenance is to maintain the good working performance of various parts, mechanisms, and assemblies of the vehicle, ensuring their normal operation between two secondary maintenance intervals. 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.

What is the function of an automobile ignition coil?

The function of an automobile ignition coil is to convert low-voltage direct current into high-voltage electricity, which can reach tens of thousands of volts. This high voltage ionizes the air through the spark plug in the cylinder to generate an electric spark. The ignition coil repeatedly stores and releases energy at different frequencies according to the engine's varying speeds. When the primary coil is connected to the power source, as the current increases, a strong magnetic field is generated around it, and the iron core stores this magnetic energy. Essentially, the ignition coil enables the spark plug to produce sparks, igniting the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Under normal circumstances, each cylinder is equipped with a set of ignition coil and spark plug. Most ignition coils need replacement after 100,000 kilometers or even longer distances.
