The maintenance items for a car at 10,000 kilometers include: 1. Replacement of engine oil, oil filter, air filter, engine belt, cabin air filter, fuel filter, and transmission fluid; 2. Inspection of spark plugs; 3. Addition of brake fluid; 4. Cleaning of throttle body and fuel injectors; 5. Inspection of tires, braking system, and clutch master cylinder fluid level. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, aiming to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.
I just had my beloved car serviced at the 10,000-kilometer mark, and there were quite a few items on the checklist. The basics included changing the engine oil and oil filter to ensure smooth engine lubrication. The dealership also inspected the air filter and cabin air filter, recommending replacements if they were dirty. For the tires, they checked the pressure and wear condition, while also inspecting the brake pad thickness. They tightened all the chassis bolts and tested the lights and wipers. The coolant and brake fluid levels were checked and topped up if needed. I believe the most crucial part of this stage's maintenance is not getting talked into unnecessary add-ons like engine flushing, which isn't needed—just stick to the maintenance manual. Personally, I make it a habit to regularly check tire pressure, which helps save a lot on fuel costs.
