What maintenance is required at 100,000 kilometers?
1 Answers
When a vehicle reaches 100,000 kilometers, a major maintenance service is required. The major maintenance includes the following: 1. Replacement of engine oil and the three filters. 2. Replacement of transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and coolant. Additionally, components such as spark plugs and belts should be inspected and replaced if necessary. The vehicle's tires and brake pads also need to be checked. 3. Finally, a four-wheel alignment should be performed to check if the chassis data has changed, with adjustments made if needed. Other tasks include a full vehicle inspection, which are routine items, and cleaning the engine's carbon deposits. Regular maintenance generally includes the following: 1. Routine maintenance, typically performed every 5,000 KM (or 7,500 KM for some models), primarily involves changing the engine oil and oil filter, and inspecting the fuel filter (many vehicles no longer have one) and air filter. If they are dirty, they should be replaced. Additionally, it is essential to check the brake discs and pads for replacement needs, top up brake fluid if necessary, and inspect tire conditions for safety. 2. Periodic maintenance, usually done every 3 years or 40,000 KM, includes cleaning the fuel injectors, throttle body, and the vehicle's intake system, in addition to routine maintenance. It also involves replacing transmission fluid, front and rear axle fluids, coolant, and brake fluid. Tire wear should be checked, with replacements made if necessary. 3. Major maintenance. This typically occurs after the vehicle has driven 100,000 KM and involves a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle and replacement of parts as needed. At this stage, the wiring (electrical circuits) and transmission components should be inspected.
