Modifications to the vehicle's body color, installation of front and rear bumpers, and interior modifications are all legal. Below are relevant details about legal modifications: 1. Modification of vehicle body color: Changing the vehicle's color is legal, but it's important to note that the new color cannot resemble those used by military vehicles, municipal vehicles, fire trucks, or engineering rescue vehicles. Generally, you must apply for a new vehicle license at the vehicle management office within ten days after the color modification. You can change to your preferred color as long as it complies with regulations and you complete the registration on time. 2. Installation of front and rear bumpers: Relevant regulations indicate that small cars can install anti-collision devices without affecting license plate recognition or driving safety. Note that this applies to small private cars, not large passenger vehicles or similar! Unlike color modifications, installing bumpers doesn't require registration with the vehicle management office. However, the modifications must not be too exaggerated or protrude in a way that affects the driving of vehicles in front or behind. In case of an accident, the modified vehicle will bear full responsibility, and insurance won't cover it. 3. Interior modifications: Changing the interior is generally acceptable, but only minor adjustments are allowed, such as modifying the display screen or the color of seat upholstery. It is not permitted to remove the vehicle's seats or alter the internal structure.

What are the consequences of using poor-quality engine oil in a car?

Using poor-quality engine oil in a car may lead to decreased power, increased fuel consumption, and damage to components such as the three-way catalytic converter. Below are detailed methods for determining the quality of engine oil: 1. Check the packaging: The caps on branded engine oils are generally one-time use and feature the manufacturer's special markings. 2. Smell the oil: High-quality engine oil, being fully synthetic, has a relatively aromatic smell. If the oil has a noticeable sour odor, it indicates that the oil has deteriorated. 3. Test the fluidity: Good engine oil has excellent fluidity, while poor-quality engine oil will produce bubbles when shaken vigorously.

Reasons for Rubber Friction Sound When Turning at Low Speed?

When turning the steering wheel, there may be a sound similar to rubber friction, and the steering wheel may also feel heavier. Possible reasons are as follows: 1. The sound of the airbag clock spring sliding and rubbing; 2. The sound of the steering column rubbing against the steering column cover trim panel. The rubber friction sound when turning the steering wheel is generally caused by the interference noise generated by the relative movement between the dust cover at the bottom of the steering column and the steering column. First, check if the dust cover is installed correctly, and then apply a layer of lubricating grease to eliminate the noise. Suggestion: If any problems occur during vehicle use, it is advisable to promptly visit a professional repair shop for inspection to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Is Gasoline Additive Useful?

Gasoline additive is useful. When mixed with gasoline and burned, it utilizes its surface activity to help decompose and break down deposits, dissolving carbon buildup, thereby providing a cleaning effect. Cleaning the engine improves fuel economy, allows for more complete fuel combustion, to some extent reduces fuel consumption, enhances power output, and decreases the emission of automotive exhaust pollutants. The primary function of gasoline additive is to remove carbon deposits, which mainly result from fuel quality and driving habits. Engine oil is also effective in cleaning carbon deposits. Whether it is necessary to use gasoline additive depends on the individual. As long as good driving habits are maintained and high-quality fuel is used regularly, gasoline additive may not be necessary. For those looking to better inhibit carbon deposit formation, it is advisable to use gasoline additive, provided that it is a legitimate and high-quality product.
