Regular car maintenance items include: 1. Changing the engine oil and oil filter, cleaning the air filter, and checking whether the generator belt and wiper blades are damaged; 2. Checking whether the levels of various fluids are normal; 3. Checking whether the tire pressure is normal and whether there is uneven wear, bulging, or damage to the tires; 4. Inspecting the car chassis for abnormalities, including checking the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and CV joints for scratches; 5. Verifying that all switches and lights in the car are functioning properly. Precautions for regular car maintenance include: 1. Making an appointment in advance; 2. Recording any faults or questions encountered while driving and informing the staff during the maintenance registration.
When I first started driving, I realized that regular maintenance is quite crucial. Each maintenance session mainly includes changing the engine oil and oil filter to ensure smooth engine operation and reduce wear; checking the air filter, and replacing it if it's too dusty, otherwise it affects engine intake and fuel consumption; tire pressure needs to be adjusted accurately, and the wear should be checked for uniformity—poor balancing can cause bumps while driving; brake pad thickness and brake fluid levels should also be inspected to avoid unexpected failures; the cabin air filter should be replaced regularly to maintain fresh air inside the car. I make it a habit to do this every six months or 5,000 kilometers, which keeps the car running comfortably and reliably, prevents breakdowns on the road, and saves a lot of trouble.
