How Often Should Chassis Maintenance Be Performed?
1 Answers
Primary Maintenance (approximately 5,000 kilometers): This involves tightening and lubrication-centered maintenance tasks for vehicles that have traveled a certain mileage. Secondary Maintenance (approximately 10,000 kilometers): This refers to inspection and adjustment-centered maintenance tasks for vehicles that have traveled a certain mileage. The scope of maintenance includes, in addition to the tasks of primary maintenance, inspecting and adjusting the working condition of the engine and electrical equipment, dismantling and cleaning the oil pan and oil filter, inspecting and adjusting the steering and braking mechanisms, dismantling and cleaning the front and rear wheel hub bearings, adding lubricating oil, dismantling and inspecting tires, and performing tire rotation. The purpose is to maintain the good working performance of all vehicle components, mechanisms, and assemblies, ensuring their normal operation between two secondary maintenance intervals. Tertiary Maintenance (approximately 20,000 kilometers): This involves disassembly, cleaning, inspection, adjustment, and elimination of hidden hazards as the core maintenance tasks for vehicles. The scope of maintenance includes, in addition to all tasks of primary and secondary maintenance, dismantling and inspecting the engine to remove carbon deposits, gum deposits, and cooling system contaminants; dismantling, cleaning, inspecting, adjusting, and eliminating hidden hazards for chassis assemblies as needed; and inspecting or derusting and repainting the frame and body. The purpose is to consolidate the normal performance of all assemblies and components, ensuring their proper operation.
