What items are included in the first maintenance of a new car?
1 Answers
Car first maintenance items include: 1. Oil change: Engine oil is the lubricant for engine operation. It plays roles in lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, and wear reduction for the engine. It is crucial for reducing wear on engine components and extending their service life. You can determine whether the oil needs changing by observing changes in its viscosity, detecting if its odor has faded, or checking for color alterations. 2. Oil filter replacement: The oil filter is the component that filters the engine oil. Engine oil contains a certain amount of gum, impurities, moisture, and additives. During engine operation, metal shavings from friction between parts, impurities from inhaled air, and oil oxides are all filtered by the oil filter. If the oil is not filtered and directly enters the oil circuit, it will adversely affect the engine's performance and lifespan. 3. Air filter replacement: The engine inhales a large amount of air during operation. If the air is not filtered, the dust in it can accelerate the wear of the piston group and cylinder. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can also cause severe cylinder scoring. The role of the air filter is to remove dust and particles from the air, ensuring that the cylinder receives sufficient, clean air. 4. Fuel filter replacement: The fuel filter provides the engine with clean fuel by filtering out water and impurities from the gasoline. This optimizes engine performance and offers the best protection for the engine.
