The maintenance items for a car after driving 60,000 kilometers include changing the engine oil, brake fluid, three filters, transmission fluid, and inspecting the tires. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. Here are the maintenance tasks required for a car at 60,000 kilometers: Change the engine oil. After driving 60,000 kilometers, you can switch to a higher-viscosity, more protective engine oil, such as 0W-40, to ensure better engine performance. Change the brake fluid. Generally, a car's brake fluid should be replaced after about 40,000 kilometers. Replacing the brake fluid ensures the braking system functions optimally. Additionally, during the 60,000 km major maintenance, the brake pads' wear should be inspected. If they are severely worn, they should also be replaced. Replace the three filters. These include the air filter, oil filter, and cabin air filter. These filters are prone to contamination and wear, so they are usually cleaned or replaced during every routine maintenance. Replace the transmission fluid. Generally, manual transmission vehicles require transmission fluid replacement every 50,000 kilometers, while automatic transmission vehicles need it every 80,000 kilometers. During major maintenance, the transmission fluid should be checked. Inspect the tires. Check whether the tire wear is normal. If the wear is severe, they should be replaced promptly. Car maintenance typically includes the following inspection or replacement tasks: checking the coolant level for compliance with specifications; inspecting the brake and clutch fluid levels; verifying the power steering fluid level; checking for oil leaks at system pipe connections; examining the battery fluid level and windshield washer fluid level; assessing the tension and aging of belts for the alternator, air conditioning, water pump, and power steering pump; ensuring all lights (headlights, marker lights, turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights, and fog lights) are functional; checking tire pressure and wear, tightening lug nuts to the specified torque, adjusting tire pressure to the manufacturer's recommended level, and rotating tires if necessary; verifying that the vehicle's exhaust emissions meet standards. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of a vehicle, also known as vehicle servicing. Modern car maintenance primarily covers the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more.

What does the bulb exclamation mark mean when it appears on the car?

Yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, indicating that there is a fault with the car lights. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection and treatment as soon as possible, or you can check it yourself. Focus on checking commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to see where the problem is. The exclamation mark is a common fault prompt in cars. In addition to the yellow bulb with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation marks: an exclamation mark inside a triangle, an exclamation mark inside a yellow gear, an exclamation mark in the middle of a bracket circle, and an exclamation mark in the middle of a bracket with a horizontal line below. Here is a detailed analysis: General fault: An exclamation mark inside a triangle. If this symbol lights up, it indicates that the car's general performance or components and functions have malfunctioned. Mainly includes parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or failure, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection to find out the source of the fault. Automatic transmission fault: An exclamation mark inside a yellow gear. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating that there is a fault with the transmission or the transmission lubricating oil is below the normal range. The transmission oil needs to be replaced in time. Brake system fault: An exclamation mark in the middle of a bracket circle. This represents a warning of the brake system, mainly including brake system failure and low brake fluid level. The brake system needs to be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire pressure abnormality: An exclamation mark in the middle of a bracket with a horizontal line below. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. When the car's tire pressure is too low, this warning light will come on. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range.

What is the bolt pattern for BMW 3 Series wheels?

The bolt pattern for BMW 3 Series wheels is 5×120, and the wheel sizes for BMW 3 Series are 16 and 17 inches. Below are the daily inspection items for BMW 3 Series tires: 1. Check tire pressure: Ensure the tire pressure of all tires (including the spare) meets the specified value. The manufacturer provides the standard tire pressure for the vehicle model. Check at least once a month, and especially before and after long-distance or high-speed driving. 2. Check tire wear condition: This includes whether the tires are wearing normally down to the wear indicators and if there is uneven wear. For tires with severe abnormal wear, promptly identify the cause and replace the tire. 3. Check for debris between treads: If present, it's best to remove the debris, as leaving these embedded objects between treads for a long time can damage the tires.

Does Insurance Take Effect on the Day of Vehicle Pickup?

In the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Compulsory Traffic Insurance Underwriting," it has been clearly stipulated that compulsory traffic insurance takes effect immediately upon purchase and does not require waiting until the next day. However, the effective time of commercial insurance is determined by the insurance company, as commercial insurance is an additional type of insurance offered by insurance companies and is not a mandatory national vehicle insurance. Below is a partial introduction to auto insurance: 1. Components: Auto insurance generally includes two parts: basic insurance and additional insurance. Basic insurance is further divided into vehicle damage insurance and third-party liability insurance. 2. Coverage: Vehicle damage insurance compensates for the loss of the insured vehicle; third-party liability insurance compensates for targets outside the insured vehicle, such as people and public property hit, the other party's car, etc.; passenger liability insurance compensates for the loss of people and property inside the insured vehicle; theft insurance compensates for the theft of the insured vehicle; no-deductible coverage ensures 100% compensation in case of an accident. If no-deductible coverage is not purchased, the policyholder bears 30% of the deductible for each accident.

How many years can car antifreeze generally last?

Car antifreeze can generally last for two years, while some long-life antifreeze can have a shelf life of up to 5 years. Antifreeze that exceeds its shelf life may deteriorate, produce impurities, and some of its internal chemical components may become ineffective, which can have a certain degree of impact on the cooling system or engine, making it unusable. The full name of car antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze function, which can prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or freezing the engine cylinder block or head when the car is parked in cold winter. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems, with excellent properties such as antifreeze in winter, anti-boil in summer, and anti-scale and anti-corrosion all year round.
