When the car dashboard indicates that the engine oil needs to be replaced soon, it is a reminder for car maintenance, which is not directly related to the engine oil itself. Simply put, the car is reminding the owner that it's time to change the engine oil as part of the scheduled maintenance. When the car leaves the factory, the manufacturer sets a specific parameter. Once the car reaches the required mileage, it will trigger a prompt to remind the owner to perform maintenance. To clear the engine oil replacement reminder, you can choose to go for maintenance. During the maintenance visit, a specialized computer system at the 4S dealership can be used to cancel the prompt. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, charging, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system (engine), transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and other maintenance areas. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. If you don’t develop the habit of regular car maintenance, it can lead to significant wear and tear on the car and also affect its appearance. Reasonable and regular car maintenance ensures that the car remains in optimal condition in all aspects, providing better service to the driver and passengers.

How to Identify Genuine 3M Film?

Here are the methods to identify genuine 3M film: 1. Check the Adhesiveness: Genuine 3M car film is a pressure-sensitive film, and its adhesive properties only become apparent under continuous external pressure. In contrast, counterfeit products on the market are usually ordinary adhesive films that feel sticky without any external pressure. 2. Examine the Roller: The roller of genuine 3M car film is made of high-quality plastic, giving it a solid and thick texture when touched. However, most counterfeit products use cardboard rollers. 3. Look for the Logo: The 3M logo is visible on the film. For genuine 3M film, the logo is difficult to scrape off with a fingernail and requires professional cleaning agents or alcohol to remove. In contrast, the logo on counterfeit films can be easily scratched off with a fingernail. 4. Inspect the Red Core: Genuine 3M car film has a red 3M label on the red core. Once this label is torn off, it is considered damaged and cannot be replicated. Counterfeit films allow the label to be peeled off and reattached. 5. Observe for Bubbles: After peeling off the plastic liner of the film and reattaching it, genuine 3M film will reattach completely without any visible bubbles, feeling thick and smooth to the touch. Many counterfeit 3M films will show numerous tiny bubbles after reattachment, feeling thin and brittle. Additionally, when viewed from the side after application, genuine 3M film has a fine and smooth surface texture, while counterfeit films have a noticeably rougher texture.
