1 Answers
Typically, a minor maintenance is performed approximately every 7,000 kilometers, while a major maintenance is conducted around every 14,000 kilometers, though this may vary depending on the specific condition of the vehicle. Below is more detailed information: 1. Definition: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as automobile upkeep. The purpose 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 service life. 2. Function: Car maintenance is divided into major and minor maintenance. Major maintenance includes not only oil changes but also the replacement of the three filters and spark plugs. The three filters refer to the air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter. The function of the filters is to remove impurities; they respectively filter dust from the air, sludge and carbon deposits from the oil, and impurities from the fuel. Minor maintenance generally refers to routine maintenance tasks performed when the car has not traveled long distances to ensure vehicle performance, mainly including oil and oil filter replacement, along with routine inspections.
