Civic 0W20 is more suitable for northern regions, while 5W30 is better suited for southern areas with warmer climates and less demanding low-temperature requirements. Below is an introduction to engine oil viscosity grades: 5W-40 is the viscosity rating of engine oil, which is the most important reference indicator when selecting oil. The viscosity rating consists of two parts: 'before W' and 'after -'. First, let's explain the meaning of W. Here, W is not variable like the SN mentioned above; it is always displayed as W. 0W indicates usability at an external temperature of -35°C, while 5W indicates usability at -30°C. Clearly, the number before W represents low-temperature viscosity, with smaller numbers being better. For example, 0W has better fluidity at ultra-low temperatures compared to 5W, with lower viscosity and a broader applicable low-temperature range. 0W and 5W are currently the most common ratings for synthetic oils on the market, while 10W is mainly found in lower-end oils, and higher numbers are rarely seen.

Are holiday traffic violations extended?

Holiday traffic violations are not necessarily extended. The recording of violations follows these scenarios: 1. For simplified penalty decisions issued on-site by traffic officers, according to internal case-handling regulations, they must be entered into the system within 24 hours; 2. For violation notices and compulsory measure certificates issued on-site by officers, per internal regulations, they must be entered into the system within 48 hours, with seized items transferred to the county-level or higher traffic management department; 3. For violations captured via non-contact enforcement or electronic monitoring, internal regulations require entry into the system within 7 working days. Delays may occur in all three scenarios as they are internal workflow standards binding only to officers. Violations of case-handling procedures may lead to disciplinary actions against officers but do not affect the determination of the violation facts.

What to Do If You Put the Wrong Fuel in Your Car?

Here are the solutions for adding the wrong fuel: 1. High-grade car filled with low-grade fuel: If a high-grade gasoline car is filled with low-grade gasoline, it is recommended that the owner drain the wrong fuel or purchase relevant fuel additives to improve fuel quality and reduce the damage of low-grade fuel to the engine. 2. Low-grade car filled with high-grade fuel: If a low-grade gasoline car is filled with high-grade gasoline, there is no problem, just remember not to make the same mistake next time when refueling. 3. Diesel and gasoline mixed: If a gasoline car is filled with diesel or a diesel car is filled with gasoline, contact a car repair shop as soon as possible to clean the fuel tank and fuel system, and conduct a comprehensive inspection of the engine.

What to Pay Attention to When Buying a Car from an Auto Trader

Things to pay attention to when buying a car: 1. Check if the accompanying documents are complete and sufficient. These include the certificate of conformity, product manual, invoice, warranty card, etc., especially verifying the certificate of conformity by cross-checking each item. 2. Carefully confirm whether the car is a display model, stock car, test drive car, faulty car, or accident car. 3. Check the manufacturing date on the certificate of conformity and the engine nameplate, as well as the inventory list of the 4S store, to see the production date and arrival date, and determine if it is a stock car. 4. Listen to the engine sound to see if it is deep, if there are any abnormal noises, and if the vibration or shaking is excessive. 5. Inspect the overall appearance and paint of the car for scratches, dents, or color differences.

What are the consequences of not merging two driver's licenses?

The consequence of not merging two driver's licenses is that the C1 driver's license will be revoked, as it is stipulated that one person can only hold one driver's license. If not merged, the C1 driver's license will be revoked. However, currently, merging is mandatory, combining the C1 driver's license and the E driver's license into a C1E driver's license. Additionally, there is no longer a situation of separate penalty points. Even if these two licenses were obtained before the merger requirement was in place, they still need to be submitted for merging when renewing the driver's license. The advantage of merging is that you only need to carry one driver's license and do not need to switch between them; the downside is that after merging, penalty points are combined, totaling 12 points. Whether it's for a motorcycle or a car, once 12 points are deducted, you will need to retake the test. If the driver's license is revoked, you will need to retake the tests separately to obtain the merged C1E license.
