Regular maintenance items mainly include the replacement of engine oil and oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, and pollen filter, as well as the maintenance and replacement of spark plugs, transmission oil, and related system inspection and maintenance. Below are the specific details: 1. Engine oil and oil filter: Primarily for the maintenance of the lubrication system. The main function of the lubrication system is to effectively lubricate various components of the car engine to prevent excessive wear. The oil filter removes various impurities from the oil to ensure the normal operation of the lubrication system. The oil filter should be replaced along with the engine oil during an oil change. Under normal circumstances, the car should be serviced every 5,000 kilometers. 2. Air filter: It filters the air before it enters the cylinder, removing impurities, dust, sand, and other foreign particles. The cleaning and maintenance of the air filter depend on the usage environment. The fuel filter is generally replaced after driving 20,000-25,000 kilometers.
My Accord just passed the 40,000-kilometer mark and underwent a major service. The main items were basic operations like changing the engine oil and oil filter. The mechanic said the cabin air filter was extremely dirty and had to be replaced, as it had accumulated dust after two years of use. Additionally, they checked the brake pad thickness and tire wear. The spark plugs were removed for inspection, and since the combustion condition was still acceptable, they only performed a cleaning. The most surprising find was that the brake fluid's water content exceeded the limit—this stuff needs to be replaced every two years. They also tightened all the chassis bolts. Remember to bring the maintenance manual, as some items can be done for free within the warranty period—don’t waste money unnecessarily.
