What are the basic contents of car maintenance?
1 Answers
Car maintenance includes the following basic contents: 1. Regular oil change: Engine oil is the lubricant of the engine, which can lubricate, clean, cool, seal, and reduce friction for the engine. It is also the "blood" of the engine. 2. Regular replacement of the three filters: The three filters refer to the air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter. The three filters can filter impurities for the engine, protect the engine, and improve its working efficiency. 3. Power steering fluid: Power steering fluid, commonly known as steering oil, should be checked regularly for leaks or obvious abnormal noises. Models with electronic power steering are maintenance-free, so there is no need to replace the steering oil. The maintenance cycle for steering oil is about 60,000 kilometers. 4. Brake fluid: Braking is very important for driving safety. Brake fluid has strong water absorption and can automatically absorb moisture from the air. 5. Coolant: Coolant ensures the normal operation of the engine. Regularly check whether the coolant level is within the standard value and whether the coolant reservoir has leaks. On average, the coolant needs to be replaced once a year. 6. Battery: The battery ensures that the engine can start normally. Check the color of the "eye" in the observation window on the upper part of the battery to see if it is green. The battery life is generally about two years, and it may be shorter in cold weather.
