Car maintenance items include: replacement of engine oil and oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, transmission fluid, spark plugs, as well as inspection of the battery, motor, and electrical system. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. The purpose of car maintenance is to eliminate hidden dangers, prevent failures, and extend the service life. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance of the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more.
I just bought a used car and have been driving it for about half a year. Maintenance is something I really need to think carefully about. Common tasks include changing the engine oil and oil filter, which should be done every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers to keep the engine running smoothly. There's also tire inspection—rotating or balancing them can extend their lifespan, saving money and ensuring safety. Don’t forget the air filter and cabin air filter; replacing them is simple and prevents dust buildup from affecting the air quality inside the car. The brake system should be checked regularly, and worn brake pads or discs should be replaced promptly—safety first. Coolant and brake fluid should be inspected every two years to prevent overheating or leaks. If the battery is aging, replace it in time, especially during winter. My personal recommendation is to use a maintenance app to keep track and set reminders, so you don’t delay until a breakdown occurs—it saves both money and hassle.
