First, prepare a tube of toothpaste and squeeze out an appropriate amount, then apply it to the car body. Next, use a scouring pad to rub the car body, then wipe the car body clean with a damp cloth.

I found that using toothpaste to remove car scratches is super easy. As a young car owner who drives frequently, I always prefer DIY to save some money. First, wash the car thoroughly to ensure there’s no dust or stains, then apply plain white toothpaste to a damp cloth and gently rub in small circles over the scratch for a few minutes. Finally, rinse it off with water and check the result. This method relies on the mild abrasives in the toothpaste to remove the oxidized layer or light scratches, but don’t try it on deep damage. I recommend applying wax afterward to protect the paint and make the car shine.

Can the leakage of the engine crankshaft rear oil seal be left unrepaired?

It is recommended to send it to a regular repair shop for inspection. Emergency measures: Inject some engine oil into the crankshaft case, and then drive the car to the nearest repair station for inspection as soon as possible. Reasons for the leakage of the crankshaft rear oil seal: The aging and leakage of the crankshaft rear oil seal may be caused by these three reasons: the crankshaft oil seal was not pressed with non-petroleum-based lubricants or inferior oil seals were used during the pressing process; the parallelism of the rear oil seal pressing surface to the rear oil seal seat did not meet technical requirements, resulting in uneven force on the rear oil seal lip; and prolonged use, high temperature, or uneven force.

Can engine oil still be used if it has expired for two years?

Engine oil that has expired for two years cannot be used. Engine oil is a highly hygroscopic substance: Over time, engine oil absorbs moisture from the air, leading to its deterioration. Expired oil may have undergone chemical changes, and using it can negatively impact the engine. Additionally, the degradation process of the oil can produce impurities, which, when introduced into the engine, can accelerate the formation of carbon deposits. Prolonged use can lead to serious consequences. Storage method for opened engine oil: After opening, seal it immediately. Once maintenance is completed at a 4S shop or repair facility, the oil bottle cap should be tightened promptly. The sealed oil bottle should be stored in a dry and cool place, away from sunlight, to prevent oxidation of the oil inside.

What Needs to Be Prepared for a Trunk Marriage Proposal?

Preparations for a trunk marriage proposal include roses, heart-shaped candles, and balloons—simple items that can easily complete a confession plan. Below is relevant information about the vehicle trunk: 1. Maintenance: Keep the vehicle trunk clean and tidy. Properly use the mesh pockets on both sides. Most cars are equipped with these for placing items that are prone to rolling, such as flashlights or small fire extinguishers. They don’t take up much space, but it’s not recommended to pile them together, as items may fall out of the mesh pockets due to bumps during the drive. 2. Precautions: Flammable and explosive items are prohibited. The interior of a car is a relatively enclosed space, and after being exposed to the sun in summer, the temperature inside can become very high. Storing flammable or explosive items in the trunk may lead to spontaneous combustion or explosions due to the high temperature.
