How Often Should Engine Maintenance Be Performed?

[VonGia]

Engine maintenance should be performed every six months. Steps for engine maintenance: Clean the air filter; Remove sludge from the throttle body, as excessive sludge can cause air resistance, leading to increased fuel consumption; Clean carbon deposits from the fuel injectors, as the combustion chamber is prone to carbon buildup, which can make starting difficult; Carbon deposits in the fuel injectors can also clog fuel passages, distort fuel injection, and reduce atomization, naturally increasing fuel consumption. Precautions for engine maintenance: First, ensure sufficient coolant is added and check the thermostat. Pay attention to the temperature gauge during daily driving, ensuring it does not exceed 95 degrees Celsius. Also, always warm up the engine when starting a cold vehicle, use fuel that meets the specified standards, and refuel when the tank is less than one-third full.
