Methods to remove oil film from windshield: 1. Use an oil film cleaner to remove the oil film. Before use, wash the car thoroughly to avoid attached sand particles scratching the glass; 2. Directly scrub with dish soap and a cloth; 3. Go to a car beauty shop for glass polishing treatment; 4. Use toothpaste (must be baking soda toothpaste) to remove it. Toothpaste contains abrasives, and baking soda also has oil-removing properties. The formation of oil film on the car windshield is due to prolonged exposure to sunlight, heavy rain, wind erosion, etc., which causes the windshield surface to develop many microscopic holes or rough pits. Over time, some oily substances, car wax substances, and dust from daily driving easily adhere to the roughened windshield surface. After a long time, a small portion of these substances may chemically react with the glass, forming an oil film layer.

Does Using a Repaired Tire Have Any Impact?

The impact of using a repaired tire depends on the extent of the damage. If the tire was simply punctured by a nail, it can last as long as the other tires after being repaired. As long as the repaired tire doesn't leak air, its quality remains the same with no adverse effects. However, if the puncture is large, such as from a knife cut, there can be significant safety risks. If the damage occurs on the tire's sidewall, it must be replaced immediately. For tread punctures caused by nails or other objects, repairs are possible if the hole diameter is less than 6mm; otherwise, the tire must be replaced. Additionally, if the tread is peeling or the tire body is severely damaged, a new tire is necessary.

How Long Can You Drive When Prompted with Low Engine Oil?

When prompted with low engine oil, you should stop driving as soon as possible and replenish the oil, as engine wear is significant and the requirements for oil are high. Timely oil replenishment is essential to effectively protect the engine. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the performance shortcomings of the base oil, imparting new characteristics and playing a crucial role in the lubricant's composition.
