The Civic doesn't have a shark fin antenna due to national policy considerations. Shark fin antenna: It serves as the satellite antenna for XM radio. The domestic version removes this feature (primarily because of national policy issues, as this streaming media channel isn't available in China), hence the shark fin antenna is omitted. If you purely want it for decoration, you can purchase one on Taobao. Disadvantages of shark fin antennas: Installing a shark fin antenna won't cause any harm to the vehicle. Essentially, it's just an antenna with no negative effects. However, the main drawback of shark fin antennas is that their signal reception capability is slightly weaker compared to other extendable antennas. Therefore, if owners wish to install one, they can do so with confidence. It also offers some aesthetic appeal to the vehicle's appearance.

How many liters of transmission oil does the Magotan B8 require?

The transmission oil for the Magotan typically needs to be replaced every 40,000 kilometers or two years. Approximately 7 liters are required for a gravity oil change, while around 12 liters are needed for a circulation oil change. Function of the transmission: As the gears operate at high speeds during driving, friction generates heat. Transmission oil is necessary to lubricate and reduce temperature, ensuring the vehicle operates normally. It also helps minimize oil loss under demanding operating conditions. There are two methods for changing transmission oil: One is the traditional gravity method, which involves draining the oil by loosening the transmission's drain plug, similar to changing engine oil, and then refilling with new oil. The other method uses a circulation machine to change automatic transmission oil, primarily utilizing the machine's pressure to dynamically replace the oil in the torque converter's lubrication and cooling lines.

Is Resetting the Transmission Useful?

Resetting the transmission is useful. The original design of automatic transmission reset was intended as an emergency troubleshooting method to restore the transmission control unit (TCU) program when it hangs or crashes. Before resetting the transmission, it is necessary to check the transmission control unit to ensure there are no fault codes. If fault codes are present, the transmission memory function cannot be reset. The core function of an automatic transmission is to enable automatic gear shifting. Automatic gear shifting means that while the car is in motion, the driver operates the accelerator pedal as needed, and the automatic transmission can automatically shift into different gears based on the engine load and the vehicle's operating conditions. Automatic transmissions, as opposed to manual transmissions, are devices that can automatically shift gears based on the vehicle's speed and engine RPM. Currently, there are four common types of automatic transmissions in vehicles: hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), continuously variable transmission (CVT), automated manual transmission (AMT), and dual-clutch transmission (DCT).

Can I Cancel the Subject 2 Test Reservation on Saturdays and Sundays?

You cannot cancel the Subject 2 test reservation on Saturdays and Sundays. The driving test center is closed on weekends and statutory holidays. As a government department, it operates on fixed working hours, which are from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM and from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM, Monday to Friday. If the scheduled test plan has not yet closed, you can cancel the reservation through the [Traffic Management 12123] platform. However, if the test plan has closed or the test has been successfully scheduled, you must go to the vehicle management office to cancel the reservation, and you must do so at least one day before the test. Some larger and more formal driving schools can also handle the cancellation of test reservations, but generally, you can only cancel the reservation at the vehicle management office on normal working days. Usually, you can cancel the reservation online before receiving the confirmation SMS for the successful reservation. If an applicant cannot attend the test at the scheduled time for any reason, they must apply to cancel the reservation one day in advance. If the applicant fails to attend the test at the scheduled time without cancellation, the test will be marked as a failure.
