At 60,000 kilometers, the following maintenance is required: 1. It is recommended to replace the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. Also replace the coolant, brake fluid, transmission gear oil, spark plugs, and power steering fluid. 2. Clean the throttle body, fuel injectors, and three-way catalytic converter. Rotate the tires. Then perform inspections: check whether the chassis screws are tight and whether the lights are functioning properly. 3. Check whether the tires are aging or cracked or whether the tire pressure is normal. Check whether the brake pads have reached the wear limit. Check for looseness in the suspension arms and tie rod ball joints. Check whether the belts are aging or cracked. 4. Reference maintenance intervals for various car components: engine oil and oil filter (5,000 km), air filter (15,000 km), fuel filter (20,000 km), cabin air filter (20,000 km), fuel injector and throttle body cleaning (20,000 km), coolant (40,000 km), brake fluid (40,000 km), power steering fluid (50,000 km), transmission fluid (60,000 km).

Last time when my car reached 60,000 kilometers, I specifically did a major maintenance. In addition to the basic oil and oil filter change, the focus was on replacing the transmission fluid, which is particularly important for protecting the gearbox; the coolant was also replaced to prevent overheating in summer; and the brake fluid was renewed, as it directly relates to safety. Additionally, I had the mechanic carefully inspect the condition of the timing belt—if there were any cracks, it had to be replaced immediately, as a broken belt could lead to engine repairs. After replacing the spark plugs, I felt the throttle response became lighter, and with the power steering fluid renewed, the steering wheel turned more effortlessly. The rubber components and suspension parts under the chassis were also thoroughly inspected, as many rubber parts start to deteriorate after 60,000 kilometers. Finally, the throttle body was cleaned, and now the fuel consumption has noticeably decreased.

As soon as my car hit 60,000 kilometers, I took it straight to the workshop for a comprehensive deep maintenance. The basic three fluids and three filters were naturally included, with extra attention paid to a full vehicle safety system inspection. I had the technician meticulously measure the brake pad thickness and perform a deep cleaning and maintenance on all four wheels to ensure optimal braking performance. The tires were rotated crosswise, and upon discovering uneven wear on the right rear tire, a four-wheel alignment was promptly done. Each suspension component was checked for bushing condition, and the stabilizer bar ball joint was immediately replaced when looseness was detected. After a thorough cleaning of the air conditioning system, the cooling effect significantly improved. Finally, I had the technician use an endoscope to inspect engine carbon buildup, and timely carbon cleaning helped avoid costly major repairs later on. After the entire maintenance session, the car drives like it's brand new.

As a seasoned driver who has owned three cars, the 60,000-kilometer maintenance must focus on three core areas: First, the powertrain. Beyond the oil and three filters, it's crucial to replace the transmission fluid and spark plugs. My car's idle vibration disappeared after changing the spark plugs at 60,000 km. Second, the chassis system. At this mileage, the rubber components of the chassis begin to age, so pay special attention to inspecting the control arm bushings, stabilizer bar bushings, and tie rod ends. Lastly, the fluid system. The brake fluid, coolant, and power steering fluid must all be replaced. After I changed the coolant last time, my car's temperature never rose abnormally again. During maintenance, also clean the throttle body and fuel injectors to ensure fuel efficiency.

The maintenance at 60,000 kilometers included over ten items. Beyond the basic service, the focus was on replacing all vehicle fluids: the transmission fluid change made gear shifts noticeably smoother; new brake fluid improved braking responsiveness; coolant replacement prevented overheating risks. The mechanic specifically cleaned the throttle body and fuel injectors, reducing fuel consumption from 10L to just over 8L. A thorough inspection of the timing belt showed no cracks, which was a relief. Upgrading to iridium spark plugs enhanced acceleration. During the wheel maintenance, slight uneven wear was detected on the front left tire, prompting an adjustment to the wheel alignment parameters. Finally, a battery test revealed 68% lifespan remaining, saving the cost of a replacement.

For the 60,000 km major maintenance, I insisted on doing these key items: the transmission oil must be changed to protect the gearbox; brake fluid replacement to enhance braking power; inspection and replacement of the timing belt to prevent breakage and engine damage; and replacing aged spark plugs to improve ignition efficiency. I specifically asked the technician to use a borescope to check for carbon buildup inside the cylinders—after cleaning the carbon deposits, the acceleration became noticeably smoother. During the four-wheel deep maintenance, two tires with tread depth less than 4mm were decisively replaced. A minor oil seepage was found in the rear shock absorbers during the chassis inspection, which was also addressed. Completing these items not only enhances driving comfort and safety but also significantly benefits the residual value of the car in the used car market later on.

What to Do About Car Battery Leakage?

Solutions for car battery leakage are as follows: 1. Visual Inspection: It is necessary to inspect the exterior of the battery to check if the casing is cracked. If there are small holes or overflow on the leaking surface, plastic welding can be used to patch them up. After patching, the concentration of the battery fluid can be measured with a hydrometer, and an appropriate amount of sulfuric acid and purified water can be added as needed. If it's due to evaporation, simply top it up with more fluid. 2. Internal Inspection: If the first step shows no issues, remove the panel and check for any signs of leakage around the safety valve. If there are none, proceed to the next step. If there are, the safety valve needs to be repaired or replaced. 3. Leakage Check: If the first two steps show no abnormalities, a pressure test is required. This involves pressurizing the battery with air underwater to check for bubbles. If bubbles appear, it indicates a leakage. If no bubbles are present, the battery is functioning normally.
