2 Answers
The main maintenance items at 20,000 kilometers include the following: 1. Replace the engine oil and oil filter (10,000-kilometer maintenance interval), air filter (20,000-kilometer maintenance interval). 2. Replace the fuel filter (20,000-kilometer maintenance interval), cabin air filter (20,000-kilometer maintenance interval). 3. Depending on the vehicle condition and environment, carbon deposit cleaning may also be considered. Here is some additional information about car maintenance: 1. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as vehicle servicing. 2. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.
When I drive my BMW, I take it to the dealership for maintenance every 20,000 kilometers, mainly to change the engine oil and filters because old oil can thicken and affect engine lubrication. During that visit, I also had the mechanic check the tire wear and pressure, as uneven tires might affect driving stability. The brake pads were inspected for thickness to prevent failure during sudden braking. The lights and battery were also checked. The cabin air filter, which easily accumulates dust, was recommended for replacement to maintain clean air inside the car. I also had them check the coolant and brake fluid levels to ensure no shortages. These small tasks don’t take much time but can extend the car’s lifespan. After regular maintenance, the car accelerates more smoothly, and fuel consumption remains stable.
