Low tire pressure in small cars is often due to low temperatures, as the principle of thermal expansion and contraction leads to insufficient tire pressure. Causes of low tire pressure in cars: Leakage from the tire or valve stem, which requires inspection at an auto repair shop. Deformation of the wheel hub, leading to reduced tire sealing performance. Long-term overloading of the vehicle, causing uneven tire stress. Low temperatures, where thermal expansion and contraction result in insufficient tire pressure. Solutions: For tire leaks, identify the cause and patch or replace the tire. Replace leaking valve stems. If the wheel hub is deformed, consider replacing it. Avoid overloading to ensure even tire stress distribution. To mitigate thermal expansion and contraction, consider inflating with nitrogen gas to minimize its effects.

What should be done if the engine oil level exceeds the dipstick mark?

If the engine oil level exceeds the dipstick mark, it should be drained to the normal level. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To reduce wear between the piston and cylinder, and between the crankshaft and bearings, providing lubrication; 2. To assist in cooling the internal parts of the engine; 3. To clean carbon deposits, sludge, and metal particles from engine components; 4. To reduce gas leakage and prevent the entry of external contaminants; 5. To cushion the load on pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, and crankshaft bearings; 6. To reduce friction, save energy consumption, and minimize wear. Types of engine oil include: 1. Conventional mineral oil; 2. Semi-synthetic oil; 3. Fully synthetic oil.

How to Remove Asphalt from Car Body?

Asphalt is mainly composed of hydrocarbons, which are insoluble in water but soluble in carbon disulfide. Here are the methods to remove asphalt from car body: 1. Tar remover: Special tar remover can quickly penetrate and dissolve asphalt, effectively removing tar and asphalt stains from car body and wheel hubs. It has excellent stain removal, cleaning, and polishing effects. However, it is somewhat corrosive, so rinse with clean water after cleaning. 2. Using essential balm: Essential balm can also dissolve asphalt. Drop a few drops of essential balm on the asphalt surface of the car body, wait for 5 minutes, and then wipe clean with a wet towel. 3. Using diesel: Gasoline can be used to remove asphalt from cars, but it is not very friendly to the paint surface. It is recommended to use diesel, which can also dilute and dissolve asphalt.
