What Causes Window Tint Fading?

The primary factor causing tint film fading is ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which damages dyes and pigments. How to distinguish quality window films: High-quality security films exhibit uniform, soft coloration without wave-like color variations. The view from inside the vehicle remains natural without color distortion. In contrast, ordinary colored films have pigments directly mixed into the adhesive layer - when scratching the adhesive surface after removing the protective plastic layer, color will peel off. Window tint maintenance tips: After installation: 1) Avoid rolling windows up/down for one week as this may cause film displacement; 2) Front/rear window films require about one month to fully cure - park facing sunlight during daytime; 3) Do not activate rear defroster for one month as heat may cause bubbling around heating elements.

What does it mean when a car's warning light shows a steering wheel with an exclamation mark?

When a car's warning light displays a steering wheel with an exclamation mark, it indicates an issue with the electric power steering system. If the light turns on after the ignition is switched on or while driving, it signifies a malfunction in the electric power steering system. There are two scenarios for this warning light: 1. If the light stays on continuously, it means the electric power steering system has a complete failure, and the vehicle should be taken to a repair shop to inspect and replace faulty components. 2. If the light briefly turns on for five to ten minutes and then goes off, this is typically caused by overheating of the electric power steering motor. In this case, the system enters an overheating protection mode, reducing or temporarily stopping motor assistance until the temperature drops and normal function resumes.

What Does the Octane Number of Gasoline Mean?

Gasoline's octane number refers to its anti-knock property, and the commonly mentioned gasoline grade represents the octane number of gasoline. Petroleum is composed of various alkanes, among which isooctane has good anti-knock properties, while n-heptane has poor anti-knock properties. 90-grade gasoline indicates that the gasoline contains 90% isooctane and 10% n-heptane; 92-grade gasoline indicates that the gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane. The type of gasoline a car uses is determined by the engine's compression ratio. The higher the compression ratio, the better the anti-knock property of the gasoline required, and thus the higher the gasoline grade needed.

Can I Only Replace the Oil Filter Without Changing the Engine Oil?

No, you cannot only replace the oil filter without changing the engine oil because the oil filter and engine oil are designed to work together. Here is some information about oil filters and engine oil: 1. The oil filter removes impurities such as dust, metal particles, carbon deposits, and soot particles from the engine oil, supplying clean oil to moving parts like the crankshaft, connecting rod, camshaft, turbocharger, and piston rings, providing lubrication, cooling, and cleaning effects. 2. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is a crucial factor in car maintenance. It directly affects the operation of the vehicle's heart—the engine—and influences the overall condition and lifespan of the vehicle. Inside the engine, there are many metal surfaces that move and rub against each other. High-quality lubricating oil can reduce wear on engine components and extend the engine's service life.

Access the official websites of municipal public security traffic management bureaus and input either the license plate number plus the last 4 digits of the engine number or the last 6 digits of the VIN for inquiry. From a safe driving perspective, speeding refers to a vehicle exceeding either the legally prescribed maximum speed limit or the limit indicated by traffic signs during operation.
