1 Answers
The replacement cycle for various automotive fluids is: 1. Engine oil: every 6 months or 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers; 2. Brake fluid: every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers; 3. Coolant: every 3 to 5 years or 100,000 kilometers; 4. Transmission fluid: approximately every 60,000 kilometers; 5. Power steering fluid: every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To alleviate friction and high temperatures; 2. To reduce gas leakage and prevent external contaminants; 3. To prevent contact between water, air, acidic harmful gases, and components; 4. To buffer the pressure rise in the engine cylinder port; 5. To flush away dirt generated on the working surfaces of components.
