Car maintenance mainly includes: 1. Checking and replenishing fuel and lubricants; 2. Cleaning the interior and exterior of the vehicle, as well as the engine and chassis; 3. Checking the oil levels in the generator, transmission, rear axle, and steering gear; 4. Adding lubricants as specified, ensuring all parts of the vehicle have fully equipped and effective oil nozzles for proper lubrication; 5. Checking the connection and tightness of the steering gear, tie rods, and steering arms. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. Its main purpose is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.
When I first started driving, I was also unclear about what maintenance involved. Later, every time I went to the shop, they changed the engine oil and oil filter, which helps the engine run more smoothly; checked the tire pressure and wear to avoid the risk of a blowout; inspected the brake fluid and brake pads to ensure the brakes were responsive; replaced the air filter to prevent dust from entering the engine; and also checked small items like lights, wipers, and battery charge. Regular maintenance really works. I usually go every 5,000 kilometers—it not only extends the car's lifespan but also saves hassle. It's much more cost-effective than waiting for a problem to arise before fixing it, and it makes driving on the highway more stable. If you have a new car, these basic items can help you gain experience.
