The most basic maintenance items for a car at 5,000 kilometers are the primary car maintenance items. Here are the extended details: 1. The cleaning items for primary vehicle maintenance include: cleaning the car body and wiping the engine and chassis parts. 2. Remove deposits from the oil filter, turn the filter handle 3-4 times, clean the oil filter, and replace the filter element according to the degree of contamination. 3. Lubrication items include: checking the oil levels of the engine, transmission, rear axle, and steering gear, and adding lubricating oil as required. 4. Inspection and tightening items include: checking the steering gear, tie rods, and steering arms for secure connections. Inspect the brake valve and brake pipes for air leaks, check the brake fluid level in the hydraulic brake master cylinder, and add brake fluid as required.

The 5,000-kilometer maintenance mainly includes several key points. Changing the engine oil and oil filter is the top priority, as engine operation generates impurities, and failing to replace them in time can lead to increased wear or even engine damage. Next is checking tire pressure and wear condition—I've seen many car owners neglect this, resulting in uneven tire wear that affects handling and safety. The braking system also needs inspection, such as brake pad thickness and brake fluid level, to avoid emergency brake failure. Fluid checks are equally important—coolant, power steering fluid, and windshield washer fluid should all be topped up. The air filter should be cleaned or replaced, as a dirty one can obstruct air intake and affect engine performance. Light checks, including headlights and turn signals, are essential to ensure safe nighttime driving. I also recommend checking for battery terminal corrosion and ensuring the electrical system works properly. In short, performing these maintenance tasks can extend the vehicle's lifespan, save on major repair costs, and boost driving confidence.

For every 5,000-kilometer car maintenance, I thoroughly inspect all items. The engine oil must be replaced along with the filter; otherwise, internal engine friction increases, leading to louder noise. For tire pressure checks, I prefer using a pressure gauge while also checking for nails or cracks. The braking system is visually inspected for brake pad wear, and I listen for any unusual sounds during rotation. Various fluids, like coolant, are checked—I top them up if levels are low. The air filter is removed to shake off dust or replaced entirely. Lights are tested, ensuring both high and low beams function properly. Battery health is also checked by measuring voltage levels. After completing these tasks, I usually wash the car to maintain a clean appearance. Experience has taught me that addressing small issues early saves money and hassle—for example, delaying an oil change can lead to increased fuel consumption or even a breakdown. After years of driving, I’ve learned that regular car maintenance is as crucial as maintaining my own health.

The maintenance items after the car runs 5,000 kilometers are quite simple in my opinion. First, change the engine oil and oil filter to prevent carbon buildup and ensure smooth engine operation. Check the tire pressure to meet the standard, as excessive wear affects safe driving. Inspect the levels of brake fluid and coolant, and top them up if necessary. Clean or replace the air filter if it's dirty. Don't overlook other basics like checking if the lights are working properly. Completing these fundamental tasks will make the car run more stably and reduce the likelihood of breakdowns. Identifying issues early can save money on major repairs later.

Can a Water-Damaged Car Still Be Driven?

If a vehicle has been submerged in water, it is not recommended to continue using it without inspection and repairs. Additional information: 1. Hazards of water-damaged cars: If a motor vehicle is submerged in water, it can easily cause rusting of body components, shortening its service life and reducing safety performance. For example, water damage can lead to corrosion and rusting of the vehicle's wiring, causing the vehicle to suddenly stall or even catch fire due to short circuits while driving, with potentially disastrous consequences. 2. Classification of water-damaged cars: (1) Water level above the chassis is considered partial submersion; (2) Water level above the oil dipstick is considered semi-submersion; (3) Water level above the hood or dashboard is considered full submersion.
