What does regular maintenance at a 4S shop include?

Engine oil, oil filter, spark plugs, brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, tire rotation, timing belt, air filter, cabin air filter, fuel filter, etc. Regular car maintenance mainly involves the replacement and inspection of some wear-prone components, as well as the replacement of various fluids. The intervals for regular car maintenance are as follows: 1. A minor service at 10,000 kilometers includes engine oil and oil filter replacement (oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter). A medium service is at 20,000 kilometers, and a major service is performed every 40,000 kilometers. The 20,000-kilometer service includes the replacement of engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and cabin air filter, along with some routine inspections. 2. Oil filter: Proper installation of the oil filter prevents impurities from mixing into the engine oil during use, avoiding wear on moving parts and blockages in oil passages. 3. Fuel filter: Correct installation of the fuel filter prevents impurities and moisture mixed into the gasoline during storage, transportation, and refueling from causing cylinder wear. To ensure optimal engine performance, the replacement interval for the fuel filter is generally 20,000 kilometers or 1 year.

I've been driving for decades, and routine maintenance at a 4S shop usually includes changing the engine oil and oil filter to keep the engine running smoothly; checking the brake system for pad wear; adjusting tire pressure to the standard value to prevent blowouts; inspecting all lights including front and rear headlights; examining the chassis for loose screws and shock absorber condition; testing the battery voltage to ensure normal starting; sometimes replacing the air filter for fresher breathing. In short, this process covers basic safety needs and prevents common faults. It's recommended that car owners do it on time and not skimp on this expense, as it helps the car age more slowly.

As a regular car owner, I often go to the 4S shop for maintenance. The core items include changing the engine oil and oil filter, comprehensive brake inspection, tire pressure and wear assessment, light testing including fog lights, checking the chassis for abnormalities, and battery status check. Additionally, the air filter or cabin air filter may be replaced depending on the vehicle's condition. These may seem simple, but they can prevent minor issues from turning into major problems, such as untimely brake repairs leading to accidents, or low tire pressure being both fuel-inefficient and dangerous. I feel much more at ease driving after each maintenance session, and I recommend new car owners to develop this habit as well.

From a practical perspective, I consider 4S maintenance as fundamental protection: changing engine oil and oil filter is essential to maintain engine health; inspecting brake pads and discs ensures braking performance; tire pressure adjustment and damage checks reduce risks; ensuring all lights are functional guarantees nighttime visibility; tightening undercarriage components prevents abnormal noises; checking battery level and voltage avoids breakdowns. The entire package offers high cost-effectiveness, saving time while ensuring safety—especially performing a full check before long trips provides peace of mind.

Maintenance is crucial. The routine service at the 4S shop includes changing the engine oil and filter, checking the brakes for excessive wear, inspecting tire inflation and wear condition, testing all bulbs for functionality, ensuring chassis screws are tightened without looseness, and measuring the battery voltage to confirm sufficient starting power. Additionally, the air filter is evaluated for replacement, and the interior is kept clean. Regular maintenance can extend the vehicle's lifespan and prevent costly emergency repairs. Remember to follow the mileage intervals specified in the manual.

I believe the routine maintenance at 4S shops covers oil changes with filter replacement to eliminate old lubrication issues; inspection of brake system pad and disc thickness; tire pressure adjustment to standard and crack checks; comprehensive lighting tests including small lights and headlights; chassis inspection of components like stabilizer bars; battery charge level and terminal checks to prevent power loss. These simple items can boost driving confidence and reduce breakdown risks, with particularly noticeable effects when performing maintenance before winter.
