At this point, the vehicle has passed the break-in period, and all components have been fully exercised. This is the peak performance stage of the vehicle, but some sealed-cycle oils and fluids are typically replaced around this time, commonly referred to as a "major maintenance." The maintenance tasks include changing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, and other routine services. Key items in a major maintenance: Besides replacing the engine oil and oil filter, there are two additional key projects in a major maintenance: 1. Air filter: The engine ingests a large amount of air during operation. If the air is not filtered, dust particles can accelerate wear on the piston group and cylinder. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can even cause severe "cylinder scoring." The air filter's role is to remove dust and particles from the air, ensuring sufficient and clean air enters the cylinder. 2. Fuel filter: The fuel filter provides clean fuel to the engine by filtering out water and impurities from the gasoline. This optimizes engine performance and offers the best protection. Typically, during vehicle maintenance, technicians will conduct additional inspections based on the car's condition and may add other maintenance tasks, such as inspection and cleaning of engine-related systems, tire alignment checks, inspection of fasteners, etc.
