Replace engine oil and oil filter, clean air filter and cabin air filter, perform a full vehicle inspection and testing. Below are the details of the second maintenance items for vehicles: 1. Inspect transmission, drive axle, or half-shaft drive device: Ensure good lubrication, reliable connection, no abnormal noise or overheating, smooth gear shifting without jumping, and no oil leakage. 2. Check brake pedal free travel and brake system: Ensure the clearance meets requirements, both service and parking brakes function properly, no deviation or dragging during braking, the inertia proportioning valve works normally, and no oil leakage. 3. Inspect generator, starter, lights, instruments, signal lights, buttons, switches, and auxiliary equipment: Ensure they are complete and functioning properly. Lubricate all lubrication points on the vehicle. Replace air filter, cabin air filter, add brake fluid, power steering fluid, antifreeze, etc.
Last time I took my beloved car for its second maintenance, I was quite experienced. The usual items included changing the engine oil and oil filter, which are the most basic to keep the engine lubricated and prevent overheating. The tires needed their pressure and wear checked, and I found the front tires were a bit flat, so I inflated them to avoid the risk of a blowout. The mechanic carefully inspected the braking system and confirmed the brake pads had enough thickness and didn’t need replacement. The air filter was also replaced with a new one, as a clogged one would affect the engine’s 'breathing.' The wipers and lights were tested, and everything was shining bright and working fine. I believe regular maintenance is the way to save money—small upkeep prevents major repairs, keeps the car running smooth, and gives a full sense of security. I recommend everyone go on time and not delay too long.
