What are the maintenance items for a car at 30,000 kilometers?
2 Answers
Car maintenance items at 30,000 kilometers are as follows: 1. Engine oil and oil filter maintenance, air filter maintenance, cabin air filter maintenance, throttle body cleaning (as needed), fuel filter replacement (as needed). 2. Check spark plug condition, inspect belts for cracks or damage, check if chassis components are secure, check tire pressure, inspect vehicle electronic equipment, check brake pad wear. 3. Additionally, there are a few points to note: first is brake fluid maintenance, with a general replacement cycle of 2 years; second is transmission fluid, with the specific replacement cycle to be determined according to the maintenance manual.
I recently took my car in for its 30,000-kilometer maintenance and realized this mileage milestone is quite crucial. Typically, you need to change the engine oil and oil filter to prevent carbon buildup and ensure smooth engine performance. Next is the air filter—if it's too dirty, it affects fuel efficiency, so I replaced mine. The braking system must be checked; if the brake pads are worn thin, they should be replaced to avoid accidents during sudden stops. Tire wear can't be overlooked either—I specifically asked the technician to check the tire pressure and tread depth to prevent skidding. Additionally, the coolant, battery, and spark plugs were inspected. For older cars, spark plugs might be eroded and need timely replacement. Don’t underestimate these details—spending a bit on regular maintenance can avoid major repairs and extend your car’s lifespan. Personally, it gives me peace of mind while driving.
