Helmet ECE certification is higher. DOT stands for the US Department of Transportation, while ECE is the abbreviation for the European Economic Commission. Additional information is as follows: 1. DOT: Abbreviation for the US Department of Transportation. Helmets sold in the US market must pass DOT certification. DOT adopts self-certification, where manufacturers conduct their own certification tests, with only spot checks conducted after the product is on the market. 2. ECE: Abbreviation for the European Economic Commission. The standard applicable to motorcycle helmets is numbered 22-R05. Helmets produced in European countries will pass ECE certification. Notably, ECE currently does not include penetration tests, which are common in other safety inspections.

Is Mobil 1000 Semi-Synthetic or Fully Synthetic?

Mobil 1000 is a fully synthetic engine oil. The Mobil Super 1000 product is a series of high-quality mineral engine oils designed to enable engines to perform at high levels and provide protection under most conditions. The Mobil Super series includes Mobil Super 2000 and Mobil Super 1000. Below is relevant information about Mobil engine oils: 1. Introduction: Mobil Super 1000 is a mineral multi-grade oil, which is cheaper than the semi-synthetic Super 2000 series and the fully synthetic Mobil 1 series, but its performance is inferior in all aspects. 2. Regarding viscosity: Mobil Super 1000 is more suitable for use in regions with higher summer temperatures. However, while high-viscosity oils can provide sufficient protection at high temperatures, they also result in higher fuel consumption compared to fully synthetic oils like Mobil 1, which have higher viscosity indices.

What does the SS warning light mean?

Automobile dashboard SS light is the auto start-stop function indicator. Here is the relevant introduction about the auto start-stop function: 1. Auto start-stop function: namely the engine auto start-stop system. Simply put, it automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle temporarily stops during driving (such as waiting for a traffic light). When it is necessary to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. The auto start-stop function can reduce emissions and lower fuel consumption when waiting at traffic lights or during short stops. 2. Working principle: By implanting an enhanced motor with idle start-stop function into a traditional engine, the system completely shuts off the engine when the vehicle meets idle stop conditions. When the vehicle needs to start moving again, the idle start-stop motor system quickly responds to the driver's start command and rapidly restarts the engine for instant engagement, thereby significantly reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.

Can I provide my own photo for the driver's license?

You can provide your own photo for the driver's license, but the photo must meet the requirements. Here are more related details: Notes: 1. If the provided photo shows significant differences in appearance or age compared to the actual person, the licensing department will require a new photo to be taken. The driver's license applicant must provide a front-facing, bareheaded, color, single-person, half-length small 1-inch photo taken within the last 6 months. The photo size should be 3.2cm × 2.2cm, with a head length of 1.9cm to 2.2cm and a head width of 1.4cm to 1.6cm, on a white background. No uniforms should be worn in the photo, and the image should be clear and natural. 2. It is important to note that you cannot replace the photo on the driver's license yourself. The photo on the driver's license issued by the DMV has an embossed seal. If you replace the photo yourself, it will lack this seal, which could cause unnecessary trouble if checked by traffic police. 3. If the driver's license photo becomes unclear, you can take a new photo (1-inch color photo with white background), along with your ID card and a copy of your ID card, submit them to the DMV, and fill out an application form to replace the driver's license.
