What items are required for the second car maintenance?
2 Answers
The items required for the second maintenance include: replacing the engine oil and oil filter, replacing or cleaning the air and cabin air filters, and inspecting and maintaining dozens of items across multiple systems such as the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires. Precautions for car maintenance are as follows: 1. Regularly check whether antifreeze, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, etc. are sufficient. Antifreeze ensures normal driving in winter and prevents freezing. Brake fluid is an essential component of the braking system. Windshield washer fluid is used to clean the windshield. All these must be kept at adequate levels to ensure the vehicle operates properly. 2. Perform wheel alignment regularly. 3. Regularly inspect the brake pads. Check the wear level of the brake pads and clutch plates periodically. When driving on the road, the brake pads and clutch plates are constantly wearing out. They need to be replaced once they reach a certain level of wear; otherwise, there will be significant safety hazards.
During my last second car maintenance service, there were quite a few items to address. First and foremost, changing the engine oil and oil filter is mandatory, otherwise it could shorten the engine's lifespan. Checking the air filter is also crucial, as a dirty one affects air intake and fuel consumption. The tires needed rotation to ensure even wear. Don't forget the brake system test – it's a major safety concern. Lights and wipers should be checked for proper functioning. Additionally, some vehicles require chassis or battery connection inspections – don't overlook these. My tip: bring your car manual and communicate thoroughly with the technician; it can save money and give peace of mind. The whole process took me about an hour. Costs vary by brand, typically ranging from a few hundred to a thousand yuan – remember to book in advance to avoid queues. Regular maintenance definitely extends your car's lifespan; don't wait for a breakdown to regret it.
