No impact. The lug nuts on tires only serve aesthetic and dust-proof purposes and will not cause air leakage. Below is additional information: 1. Wheel hub nuts: Wheel hub nuts are specialized nuts used to secure the outer wheel hub of a car. Due to the variability of automotive nuts, there is no national standard for them, but generally, their sizes are similar to standard hex nuts, ranging from M12 to M42. 2. Thread pitch: Wheel hub nuts are generally thicker than standard hex nuts of the same size and usually have fine threads, with thread pitches typically being 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm. Their shape is similar to standard hex nuts, being equilateral hexagons, but one end of the nut may have a taper, inside which there might be a step to accommodate a nylon washer for locking purposes.

Last time I lost one of the wheel nuts on my car, and it really freaked me out. Missing a nut directly disrupts the balance of the wheel fixation, putting all the stress on the remaining nuts. The effect was especially noticeable at high speeds—the steering wheel shook violently, and even the brakes were affected. I drove extra carefully to the repair shop, crawling at 40 km/h, terrified the wheel might come off. The mechanic said it was extremely dangerous; driving like that for long could deform or even break the other nuts. Now I’ve made it a habit to check the nuts for looseness every time I wash the car. You can’t afford to be careless with things like this—a single nut can be a matter of life and death!

Does applying sun protection film on small cars have a sun protection effect?

Automotive solar films primarily serve functions such as heat insulation, sun protection, UV protection, explosion-proofing, anti-glare, and energy saving. Therefore, applying sun protection film on small cars does have a sun protection effect. Automotive Solar Film: Automotive solar film refers to the film applied to the surface of car glass, commonly known as explosion-proof film. In addition to heat and light insulation, it also has explosion-proof capabilities. High-quality explosion-proof films use a special polyester film as the base material, which inherently possesses strong toughness. Combined with special pressure-sensitive adhesive, in the event of an accident, the glass will crack but remain adhered to the film, preventing shards from flying and causing injury. Precautions for Film Application: For the first three days after applying the film, avoid washing the car to prevent the film from peeling off due to moisture. After the film is applied, do not roll down the side windows for 24 hours in summer and 48-72 hours in winter. The film, not yet fully adhered, is prone to displacement.

Should You Press the Clutch When Starting the Engine?

It is best to press the clutch before starting the engine, as this effectively prevents the car from lurching forward during ignition. Especially when starting on a slope, the clutch must be pressed; otherwise, the car may roll backward due to insufficient power. When starting the car, you need to press the clutch: Pressing the clutch when starting connects the power output. When the clutch is pressed, the wheels and the engine are linked by the clutch. Otherwise, no matter how much you press the accelerator, the car won't move if the clutch isn't pressed. When shifting gears, you need to press the clutch: When shifting gears, pressing the clutch disconnects the power system, reducing the impact during gear engagement and ensuring smoother gear changes. When braking over a short distance, you need to press the clutch: When the car is moving at a low speed and you brake without pressing the accelerator, simply pressing the brake may cause the engine to stall. Pressing the clutch to interrupt the power connection effectively prevents this from happening.

What Does Increased Engine Oil Mean?

Increased engine oil refers to gasoline overflowing into the engine and mixing with the oil, resulting in a decrease in oil viscosity and affecting the normal operation of the engine. The hazards of increased engine oil include: 1. Slow engine RPM rise during acceleration, leading to increased vehicle fuel consumption; 2. Increased oil pressure, causing poor operation of internal engine components and affecting engine power output, resulting in insufficient power; 3. During engine operation, various components may experience intense agitation, increasing internal power loss and causing more oil to splash onto the cylinder walls, leading to oil burning faults.
