Canned spray-type oil film remover works very well for removing oil film. Just spray for 3 seconds within the wiper's sweeping range to remove the oil film. Remove the cap and press the bottle firmly to spray the liquid. Spray it within the wiper's operating range on the windshield, with a usage method roughly similar to the spray type.

I've been driving for decades, and adjusting the throttle cable requires skill—don't mess around. Safety first: always turn off the engine before working on it. Locate the end of the cable in the engine bay, usually connected to the throttle valve bolt. Loosen the nut slightly to adjust the tension. Test the tension by hand: too loose and the throttle response lags, too tight risks sticking—ensure it moves freely without being too slack. After adjusting, test at low speed for smooth acceleration response; avoid stomping on it. For older cars, check the entire cable for wear or rust, and clean it regularly to prevent dust buildup. Routine checks are simple, but avoid frequent DIY adjustments—leave it to professionals. Throttle issues can cause accidents, so stay alert for unusual noises or sluggish response while driving.
