You should go for the first maintenance when the date arrives even if the mileage hasn't been reached, because the engine oil has a usage period. Once the scheduled maintenance time comes, even if the oil hasn't been used much, it will still undergo some oxidation reactions after being exposed to air. Therefore, it's necessary to perform maintenance on time. The main items during the first maintenance include changing the engine oil and oil filter, cleaning the air filter, and inspecting the car's chassis, lights, tires, and various fluids. The first maintenance has both time and mileage limits, so it's best to follow the scheduled time to avoid missing the maintenance period.

How to Determine When to Replace Windshield Wipers?

Methods to determine when to replace windshield wipers include: 1. Visible damage: If there is cracking, fissures, aging, rust, deformation, attachments, or discoloration, the wiper blades should be promptly replaced; 2. Audible damage: If the rubber strip has detached from the frame, causing the wiper to slap against the windshield with abnormal sounds like jumping or shaking during each swipe, it's time to replace the wiper blades. Windshield wipers are blade-like structures installed in front of the windshield, composed of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Their primary function is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstruct the driver's view.

How to Identify if a Used Car is a Flood-Damaged Vehicle?

Methods to identify a flood-damaged used car: 1. Inspect the chassis components - some metal parts of a flood-damaged car's chassis will rust, and the wheels may produce abnormal noises when rotating; 2. Check the metal brackets inside the car - brackets under the dashboard and center console are prone to rust after being soaked in water; 3. Examine the carpets - normally, car carpets fit snugly against the chassis; 4. Check if the seat covers have been replaced; 5. Inspect the spare tire well drain plug - vehicle design accounts for water entering the spare tire well, so there's a drain plug at the lowest point, and obvious signs of removal/installation will appear after tampering with the drain plug.

What are the components of a car chassis?

The car chassis consists of four parts: the transmission system, the running system, the steering system, and the braking system. The function of the chassis is to support and install the car engine and its various components, forming the overall shape of the car, receiving the power from the engine, enabling the car to move, and ensuring normal driving. The maintenance methods for the car chassis include: 1. Regularly check the oil of each assembly: check whether the oil in each fluid reservoir is between the upper and lower scale lines. If it is below the lower scale line, replenish it in time. If the oil level drops quickly, it indicates that the system has a leak, and the leak must be identified and repaired immediately; 2. Replace worn brake pads in time; 3. Ensure safety with four-wheel alignment; 4. Selective spraying of chassis protective film to improve rust resistance, reduce impact damage, and extend the life of the chassis.
