Private car maintenance items at 60,000 kilometers include the following: 1. Replace all vehicle fluids. For example: brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, coolant. 2. Timing belt. 3. Cleaning of carbon deposits in the fuel system. 4. Replace the three filters of the car. For example: air filter, fuel filter, oil filter. The following are the maintenance intervals for other car maintenance items: 1. Tires are generally replaced every 50,000-60,000 kilometers. 2. Brake pads are replaced approximately every 50,000 kilometers. 3. Brake fluid is checked every 50,000 kilometers. 4. Spark plugs are checked approximately every 40,000 kilometers. 5. The battery is generally replaced every 4-5 years.
Last time when my car reached 60,000 kilometers, I specifically studied this maintenance checklist. Generally, the engine oil and oil filter must be replaced, as this is the core part of basic maintenance. The cabin air filter and engine air filter definitely need to be changed—after driving this long, they're full of dust. The spark plugs should also be replaced around this mileage, otherwise, the ignition efficiency will drop. The brake fluid needs to be checked for water content—if it exceeds the limit, it must be replaced, or the brakes will feel spongy. It's best to perform a tire rotation to ensure even wear. The transmission fluid should also be replaced depending on the condition, especially for automatic transmission cars. All the chassis bolts should be tightened, given the usual rough driving conditions. Finally, have the mechanic thoroughly inspect the battery and lighting system so you can drive long distances with peace of mind.
