What does a vehicle's first-level maintenance include?
1 Answers
Vehicle first-level maintenance refers to the most basic routine inspection and maintenance of a car. It primarily involves tasks such as changing the engine oil and coolant, checking the tires, water pump, and power steering pump tightness, with the goal of eliminating potential safety hazards and maintaining the vehicle's various performance aspects. The main items of a vehicle's first-level maintenance include the following: 1. Changing the engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter. Typically, engine oil should be changed every 5,000 KM, and the fuel filter should be changed every 20,000 KM. 2. Checking whether the coolant level meets the specified requirements. Generally, the coolant should be replaced every two years. 3. Checking the brake and clutch fluid levels. Typically, the brake and clutch fluids should be replaced every 30,000 km or every two years. 4. Checking whether the power steering fluid reservoir level meets the specified requirements and inspecting all system oil pipe connections for leaks. 5. Checking the battery fluid level and windshield washer fluid level. If the levels are too low or insufficient, they should be topped up or replaced. 6. Checking the tension and condition of the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and power steering pump belts for signs of aging. If any abnormalities are found, they should be replaced promptly. 7. Checking whether all front and rear lights are functional (including headlights, width marker lights, turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights, and fog lights) and ensuring their brightness and beam angles meet standards. 8. Checking the tire pressure and wear condition, tightening the tire bolts to the specified torque, inflating the tires to the manufacturer-recommended pressure, and rotating the tires based on wear patterns.
