Maintenance items for a car at 70,000 kilometers include: replacing various belts, changing the transmission fluid, replacing spark plugs, cleaning the throttle body and fuel injectors, cleaning the catalytic converter, replacing the fuel filter, etc. Additionally, it is necessary to inspect the vehicle's suspension, various rubber bushings, and tire condition, replacing them if needed. When a car reaches 70,000 kilometers, the tread wear on the tires is usually significant, and the rubber may have aged. For driving safety, it is advisable to replace the tires if necessary. Transmission fluid has a usage cycle and is typically replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing.

My car has reached 70,000 kilometers, and every maintenance session is crucial, especially the basic tasks like changing the engine oil and oil filter. Neglecting these can lead to engine wear and affect driving smoothness. The air filter should also be replaced to prevent dust from clogging the intake system, which could increase fuel consumption. The spark plugs might have reached their lifespan; checking and replacing them can avoid engine vibration issues. The braking system requires thorough inspection—replace the brake pads if they're too worn and check the discs for corrosion to ensure safety. Inspect tire wear, check tire pressure, and perform balancing to avoid the risk of high-speed blowouts. Coolant and brake fluid should be replaced to prevent leaks and overheating-related failures. For automatic transmission vehicles, replacing the transmission fluid is recommended to maintain smooth gear shifts. Don’t forget to test the lights and battery for nighttime driving safety. Completing all these tasks will make the car run more steadily and extend its lifespan, saving money in the long run. During maintenance, it’s best to bring the manual to reference specific model requirements and avoid cheap, unreliable shops to prevent mishaps.

Every 70,000 kilometers, I perform a comprehensive maintenance on my car because years of driving experience have taught me that neglecting this leads to inevitable regrets. Key checks include spark plugs, which must be replaced between 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers—failure to do so results in soaring fuel consumption and jerky starts. Engine oil and filters are changed as usual to maintain healthy engine operation. Tire wear is critical; replace them immediately when treads become shallow—safety comes first. A full brake system inspection is essential, as both pads and discs may wear thin and require replacement to prevent dangerous emergency brake failure. Transmission fluid should be replaced once for automatic vehicles to avoid gearbox issues, saving money and hassle. Air filters clogged with dust impair intake performance and should be replaced promptly. Coolant levels in the cooling system must be checked to prevent roadside breakdowns. Belt tension should also be adjusted evenly to avoid costly damage from snapping. Regular maintenance like this can effortlessly extend the car's lifespan by tens of thousands of kilometers while noticeably improving driving comfort.

My car just passed the 70,000 km maintenance checklist, simple and practical: oil and filter change is a must to keep the engine lubricated and running smoothly. The air filter should also be replaced as dust buildup affects performance and increases fuel consumption. Check and replace spark plugs to prevent shaking issues. Replace brake fluid to ensure responsive braking and safe driving without hidden dangers. Inspect tires for wear—replace them if tread is shallow; it's cost-effective to get a new set to prevent high-speed skidding accidents. Check coolant levels to avoid overheating. For older automatic transmission cars, it's recommended to replace the transmission fluid—a simple job. These services can be done at a shop for a few hundred bucks—don't skimp, safety is important. You can change the oil yourself if you have all the right tools to avoid mistakes. After maintenance, the car drives like new—quiet, smooth, and with lower fuel consumption, saving you money in the long run.

For driving safety, our family car never misses any maintenance items at 70,000 kilometers. Priority is given to inspecting the brake system, checking whether the pads and discs are worn, and replacing them to prevent emergency skidding accidents. Lighting tests ensure clear visibility for night driving. Changing the engine oil and filters is routine to keep the engine well-lubricated and extend the vehicle's lifespan. A clogged air filter affects air intake, so timely replacement keeps the engine breathing smoothly. Replacing spark plugs improves quick starts and reduces jerking. A comprehensive tire inspection checks for wear and balances to prevent uncomfortable vibrations and bumps. Checking the coolant and brake fluid levels avoids overheating or leakage risks. For automatic transmissions, replacing the transmission fluid once is recommended for smooth shifting and worry-free driving. Considering all these details ensures peace of mind for every trip, especially for family vehicles, maintaining a healthy atmosphere. Never overlook the importance of regular maintenance.

Should the Brake Be Released Slowly During Hill Start?

During a hill start, the brake should be released slowly. The correct procedure for a hill start involves maintaining the proper driving posture, paying attention to various traffic conditions ahead, and avoiding looking down. When starting, the right foot should press the accelerator pedal, while the left foot slightly presses the accelerator pedal and slowly releases the clutch. At the point of semi-engagement, the right foot should gently press the throttle to follow through, while the right heel must not release the brake pedal. Hill start is part of the field test in the second subject of the driver's license examination, which involves starting a vehicle parked on a steep slope. Other test items in the second subject include parallel parking, curve driving, right-angle turns, and reverse parking into a garage.

What does BMW ASR mean

BMW ASR is the Acceleration Slip Regulation system. The system is equipped with wheel speed sensors. When the vehicle's tires start to slip, the sensors can detect it within a very short time and transmit the wheel slip signal to the ASR system processor. The processor then sends a braking signal to the ABS anti-lock braking system, thereby preventing the wheels from spinning in place. The function of ASR: Its main purpose is to prevent the driving wheels of a car from slipping during acceleration, especially on special road surfaces with low friction such as rain, snow, hail, or icy roads. It controls the slip ratio within a certain range when the car accelerates, thus preventing the driving wheels from slipping rapidly. Improving traction: Maintaining the driving stability of the car. When driving on slippery surfaces, a car without ASR is prone to wheel slip during acceleration; rear-wheel-drive vehicles are more likely to fishtail, while front-wheel-drive vehicles are more prone to losing directional control. With ASR, the car will not experience or can significantly reduce this phenomenon during acceleration.
