Should I Service My Car Before or After a Long Trip?
1 Answers
It is better to service your car before a long trip. Pay attention to the following aspects during the service: 1. Check the battery voltage during the service. 2. Check the antifreeze level, and if it is too low, promptly add the same type of antifreeze according to the standard scale on the replenishment tank. 3. Also, check whether the thermostat is working properly. 4. Pay attention to the selection of engine oil; it is best to use all-season oil such as 5W-30 or 0W-30. 5. Check whether there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine. In winter, especially during cold starts, excessive carbon buildup will definitely make it difficult to start the vehicle. 6. Check the windshield washer fluid level, and if it is too low, replenish it promptly.
