What are the items for the first maintenance of JAC Refine S3?
2 Answers
JAC Refine S3 first maintenance items include: 1. Replace engine oil and oil filter; 2. Check if the coolant level meets the specified requirements; 3. Check the brake and clutch fluid levels; 4. Check if the power steering fluid level complies with the regulations; 5. Check for any oil leakage at the interfaces of various oil pipes in the system. Below is some relevant information: 1. Refine S3 undergoes a major maintenance at 60,000 kilometers, which typically includes replacing all auxiliary fluids (antifreeze, brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid), replacing spark plugs, and cleaning the engine from the intake to the exhaust system (throttle body, fuel injectors, fuel system, combustion chamber, intake valves, intake manifold, catalytic converter, lubrication system), in addition to changing the engine oil and filter. 2. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as car servicing. Car maintenance mainly covers the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. 3. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean and in good technical condition, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. A car is a complex piece of machinery, and during operation, mechanical parts inevitably wear out, compounded by external human and environmental factors, leading to vehicle wear and tear.
When I first got my JAC Refine S3, I paid close attention to the initial maintenance. Generally, the service items can be divided into several parts: First, changing the engine oil and oil filter—after the break-in period, some metal shavings accumulate, and failing to replace them promptly can lead to engine wear. Next is checking various fluid levels, including coolant, brake fluid, and transmission oil, to ensure there are no leaks or shortages, which could cause overheating or brake failure. For the tires, they measure and adjust the pressure to the standard value and occasionally perform a simple rotation to balance wear. The braking system requires inspection of brake pad thickness and caliper condition—safety comes first. The chassis and suspension are also checked for looseness or unusual noises, while electrical components like lights and the battery are tested for brightness and capacity. Finally, they might connect to a computer for a diagnostic scan and software update. The whole process takes about an hour at the 4S shop, with reasonable costs, and the car runs smoother with stabilized fuel consumption afterward. A reminder to everyone: don’t delay maintenance—doing it on time preserves the warranty and extends the vehicle’s lifespan.
