If the car has not undergone major maintenance before, then at 50,000 kilometers, it is necessary to replace the spark plugs, engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and cabin air filter. Additionally, it is also required to check the brake pads, inspect the tires, and check whether the throttle valve has carbon buildup, etc. Check the ignition coils: At 50,000 kilometers, the working condition of the ignition coils should be checked. If the ignition coils are not functioning properly, it may lead to a decrease in engine power and an increase in fuel consumption. Replace the spark plugs: When replacing the spark plugs, it is important to note that after removing the spark plugs, the holes where the spark plugs are installed should be blocked to prevent foreign objects from falling into the cylinders. When installing the spark plugs, a torque wrench should be used to tighten them according to the specified torque. If they are tightened too much, the spark plugs may break, and if they are not tightened enough, it may cause air leakage.
My Baojun 560 has already run 50,000 kilometers, and that maintenance service was quite comprehensive. I went to my regular repair shop, where the mechanic suggested changing the engine oil and oil filter first to ensure smooth engine lubrication. The air filter was also replaced to keep the intake cleaner and prevent carbon buildup. The cabin air filter isn't expensive but is important—after replacement, the car's interior smelled much fresher, making long drives more comfortable. The spark plugs were checked, and since the gaps were still fine, they were left unchanged, though the manual suggests replacement might be needed at 60,000 kilometers. The brake pads were inspected, and the tires were rotated to ensure reliable braking performance. The transmission fluid had been changed at 40,000 kilometers, so this time only the fluid level was checked. The coolant and battery were in good condition. I also asked the mechanic to inspect the chassis and suspension to prevent any unusual noises. It cost a few hundred yuan, but it was worth it for peace of mind and safety. Sticking to regular maintenance keeps the car running like new, helps address minor issues early, and prevents breakdowns on the road.
