Maintenance does not have to be done at the 4S store where the car was purchased. Because all brand 4S stores are nationwide warranty, so you can go to any 4S store of the purchased brand for maintenance. Of course, car maintenance can also be carried out in professional auto repair shops or general repair shops. The following is an introduction about car maintenance: 1. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car maintenance. 2. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance scope of the engine system (engine), transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. 3. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean and tidy, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers to prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

I've always thought car maintenance after purchase is quite convenient—you don't necessarily have to go back to the dealership where you bought the car. Just go to whichever one is closest. With a busy work schedule and tight time, traveling far is too much hassle. Many dealerships are networked and share data, so maintenance records are complete even if you switch locations, without affecting the warranty. If you're on a business trip or traveling, you can get service at a local shop, saving you the trouble of traveling far. When choosing a shop, you can pick ones with more promotions, like free inspections or discounted packages, which can also save you some money. The important thing is to do regular maintenance, change the oil frequently, check the tires well, and ensure driving safety.

How Many Types of Automotive Differentials Are There?

There are six types of automotive differentials: gear-type, limited-slip, twin-worm, center, LSD, and Torsen differentials. The automotive differential is a mechanism that allows the left and right (or upper and lower) drive wheels to rotate at different speeds. It consists of left and right axle gears, planetary gears, and a gear carrier. The function of the automotive differential is to enable the left and right wheels to roll at different speeds when the vehicle turns or travels on uneven road surfaces, ensuring that both drive wheels perform rolling motion. It is designed to adjust the speed difference between the left and right wheels. Based on operational characteristics, automotive differentials are categorized into gear-type differentials and limited-slip differentials.

What Are the Reasons for Abnormal Noises from the Car Chassis When Driving on Rough Roads?

Reasons for abnormal noises from the car chassis when driving on rough roads: 1. Loose screws inside the chassis; 2. Loose or worn joints in the suspension linkage components; 3. Aging of the stabilizer bar rubber bushings; 4. Brake system failure; 5. Loose shock absorbers. Car chassis maintenance includes: 1. Regularly checking the oil in each assembly; 2. Timely replacement of worn brake pads. The composition and functions of the car chassis are: 1. Transmission system: smoothly engages or temporarily disengages the engine power with the transmission device; 2. Running system: supports the entire vehicle's mass and ensures the car's movement; 3. Steering system: ensures smooth steering; 4. Braking system: provides the ability to stop the vehicle forcibly within a short time.

What Do Motor Oil Specifications Represent?

Motor oil specifications consist of two parts: classification and viscosity rating. The oil label typically indicates viscosity and quality. Specifically, the viscosity of lubricating oil is marked with grades such as SAE, which stands for the Society of Automotive Engineers in the United States. The 'W' stands for winter. The smaller the number before 'W', the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, the lower the usable environmental temperature, and the better the engine protection during cold starts. The number after 'W' (following the horizontal line) indicates the oil's high-temperature resistance. The larger this number, the better the oil's protective performance at high temperatures. The label after the oil classification specifies its viscosity rating. For example, in '15W-40, 5W-40', 'W' stands for winter. The smaller the preceding number, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, the lower the usable environmental temperature, and the better the engine protection during cold starts.

How many years can a China 5 emission standard vehicle be driven?

As long as it passes the vehicle inspection, it can be driven until the vehicle is no longer operational. Even if the China 6 standard is implemented, it has little impact on the service life of China 5 vehicles. The China 6 standard is only enforced to regulate automobile manufacturers, requiring that vehicles produced and sold must comply with the 'China 6' standard. This has little to do with people's car purchasing and selection, so there is no difference in the service life between China 5 and China 6 vehicles (or even China 4 vehicles). For example, there are still many China 4 vehicles running on the road. However, when the vehicle age reaches 15 years, the annual inspection will be shortened to once every 6 months, and when the vehicle mileage exceeds 600,000 kilometers, the vehicle will be guided to be scrapped.
