When the damage to the wheel hub accumulates to a certain extent, it is essential to promptly take it to a professional repair shop for maintenance. Tire Sidewall: The tire sidewall is the weakest and thinnest part of the tire. When encountering minor bumps on the road, the sidewall deforms to absorb some of the impact. Continuing to use a tire with scratches on the sidewall poses a risk of a blowout, which is very dangerous. It is recommended to replace the tire. Repair: Some repair shops use body filler (bondo) to fill in the damaged areas, sand it down, and then repaint. However, since the wheel hub operates at high speeds and experiences significant temperature fluctuations, the body filler on the hub is prone to expansion and detachment, leading to paint damage and rendering the wheel hub repair ineffective.

Can a Car Using 98-Octane Gasoline Switch to 95-Octane?

It is not advisable for a car using 98-octane gasoline to switch to 95-octane, as it may cause the following issues: 1. Affect the normal operation of the engine; 2. Lead to increased car noise, reduced driving power, and potential engine damage. The difference between 98-octane and 95-octane gasoline lies in their octane ratings: 98-octane gasoline is a mixture of 98% isooctane and 2% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 3% n-heptane. Different gasoline grades represent varying levels of fuel anti-knock performance, with higher octane numbers indicating better anti-knock properties. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from the distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis of petroleum.
