You can sprinkle a little flour to absorb the oil and then wipe it off. Squeeze toothpaste onto a toothbrush and brush it along the windshield. Cover the windshield with toilet paper or tissue, spray Libai dishwashing liquid water, then dip a clean cloth in clean water and wipe it a few more times.

Having driven for over a decade, I've always found windshield oil film a headache. Most oil films come from road grease and rainwater residue, blurring visibility. Here's a simple trick: dilute dish soap with water, dip a soft cloth in it, and wipe the glass to dissolve the grease. If that doesn't work well, try cutting a potato and rubbing it on the glass—the enzymes in potatoes remove oil quickly, just rinse afterward. White vinegar also works; spray it on, wait five minutes, then wipe dry with old newspaper to avoid water streaks. Avoid parking under trees as sap worsens oil film. When washing your car, rinse the wiper blades with clean water to prevent oil buildup. Doing this regularly keeps your view clear and driving much safer.

What is the appropriate oil level after parking the car overnight?

The appropriate oil level after parking the car overnight is between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Here are the relevant details: 1. Dipstick marks: If the oil level is below the minimum mark after parking overnight, although there is still some oil remaining in the tank, it is necessary to promptly visit a 4S dealership or add oil yourself. 2. Precautions: Avoid aggressive driving at all costs, as the engine will generate significantly higher temperatures under high-speed operation. With insufficient oil volume, this can easily lead to engine overheating issues, and in severe cases, the engine may be completely damaged.
