Does a car need maintenance if it runs less than 5,000 kilometers a year?
1 Answers
A car that runs less than 5,000 kilometers a year can have its maintenance frequency appropriately reduced, but maintenance should not be skipped entirely, as the vehicle will still age even with minimal use. Fluids such as engine oil and transmission fluid have a shelf life even when idle, so regular maintenance is necessary to maintain good vehicle condition. Below is an introduction to car maintenance: Car Maintenance Items: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as vehicle upkeep. Modern car maintenance mainly includes servicing the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more. Purpose of Car Maintenance: The goal of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the vehicle's service life.
