What Happens If a Car Is Not Maintained on Time?

[AnnaFitz]

A minor service takes 30-40 minutes, while a major service lasts between one to two hours. If parts need repair or replacement, the time will be longer. Below is relevant information about car maintenance: 1. The interval for a minor service depends on the effective duration or mileage of the engine oil and oil filter used. The validity periods of mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full-synthetic oil vary by brand and grade, so follow the manufacturer's recommendations. 2. Oil filters are generally divided into standard and long-life types. Standard oil filters are replaced along with the oil, while long-life oil filters have a longer service life. In summer, when temperatures are higher, evaporation of oil and water increases. Therefore, ensure the fuel tank cap is tightly sealed and check for oil leaks in the fuel lines. Regularly inspect the coolant level in the radiator, the oil level in the crankcase, the brake fluid level in the master cylinder, and the electrolyte density and level in the battery. If any levels are not within specifications, promptly top up or adjust them.
