Kosheng's engine is an all-aluminum engine from Changan's new Blue Whale series, domestically produced in China. The engine model used in Kosheng is JL476ZQCF, with a maximum horsepower of 178 hp, a maximum power of 131KW, a maximum power speed range of 1450-4500rpm, and a peak torque of 265N.m. The vehicle's power performance is relatively smooth and has been renowned for its low fuel consumption and low maintenance costs. For daily maintenance of Kosheng's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements; Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and keep the oil volume moderate; When engine oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to pass through the bypass valve and bringing contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it remains suspended in the oil; when large, it precipitates from the oil, blocking filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What does grinding off the serial number mean for a vehicle?

Grinding off the serial number refers to vehicles sold through unofficial channels or cross-regional sales, where the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is intentionally erased to avoid accountability for parallel imports by the manufacturer. Additional details are as follows: Generally, purchasing from reputable stores ensures genuine products with qualified quality and craftsmanship, and the store will provide its own warranty. However, there is still a possibility of substandard or counterfeit products. The main difference lies in whether the warranty is honored, as large authorized dealers often only provide warranties for vehicles sold locally. If you possess basic maintenance skills, a vehicle with a ground-off serial number can still be an option. If consumers purchase a 'ground-off serial number' product, they can request the manufacturer to issue a certificate proving the product's quality as unqualified, and the manufacturer should provide the corresponding documentation.

What does airbag mean?

In a car, airbag refers to the passenger safety airbag. Here are the specific details about the automotive airbag system: 1. Function: During a collision, the airbag distributes the impact force evenly across the head and chest, preventing direct contact between the passenger's body and the vehicle structure, thereby reducing the likelihood of injury. According to statistics, in frontal collisions involving vehicles equipped with airbags, the severity of passenger injuries can be reduced by up to 64%, and in some cases, 80% of passengers were not wearing seat belts. 2. Supplementary Safety Device: The automotive airbag system is a supplementary safety system, typically serving as an additional safety measure alongside seat belts. Airbags are designed to be used in conjunction with seat belts.

Below are relevant details: 1. Vehicle Fire Extinguisher: Specifically designed for vehicle fire suppression, it includes two main types: non-storage pressure suspension-type ultra-fine dry powder automatic fire extinguishing devices for vehicles, and storage pressure suspension-type ultra-fine dry powder automatic fire extinguishing devices for compact cars.

How is insurance calculated for a transferred vehicle?

If the original insurance of the transferred vehicle has not expired, both the buyer and seller should bring the original insurance policy, vehicle registration certificate, and transfer invoice to the insurance company to submit the required documents. The insurance company will review the materials on the spot and issue an endorsement to complete the insurance transfer. There are two common methods for transferring insurance: 1. Apply for cancellation: The new owner cancels the original owner's vehicle insurance and then applies for a new insurance policy under the new owner's name. This method requires the original owner to personally visit the insurance company to cancel the policy. When the new owner reapplies for insurance, they need to present the new vehicle registration certificate and vehicle transfer certificate. This method is suitable for vehicles whose insurance is about to expire, and the insurance after the transfer will be calculated at a new price. 2. Modify the original policy information: Change the insured to the new owner. For this method, both parties must specify in the sales contract that the original owner will bring the policy and vehicle transfer certificate to the original insurance company to complete the process. If the new owner purchases a used car with long-term valid insurance, they can choose this method. The transferred insurance will be under the new owner's name until the policy expires, and the insurance will not be recalculated.

Is it troublesome to deregister a car sold as scrap metal?

Troublesome, because vehicles turned into scrap metal are considered privately scrapped without any relevant documentation. Specific details are as follows: 1. Privately scrapped vehicles cannot be dismantled or sold without authorization: After submitting the deregistration application, it is considered incomplete deregistration procedures and will not be recognized by the local traffic management office. If a vehicle is not scrapped through the normal process but is privately scrapped, deregistration will be more troublesome than usual. 2. According to Article 14 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China': The state implements a mandatory vehicle scrapping system, stipulating different scrapping standards based on the safety technical conditions and different uses of motor vehicles. Vehicles that should be scrapped must promptly complete the deregistration process. Moreover, once a vehicle reaches the scrapping standard, it must be scrapped through official channels.
