Maintenance items for a car at 80,000 kilometers include: 1. Replace transmission fluid and filter; 2. Replace brake pads and belts; 3. Replace spark plugs, engine oil, air filter, fuel filter, and oil filter; 4. Replace cabin air filter. Precautions for car maintenance are: 1. Avoid running the engine for extended periods in an unventilated garage; 2. Avoid sucking on fuel pipes with your mouth; 3. Avoid getting carburetor cleaner on the car body. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. Its purposes are: 1. To keep the car clean and in normal technical condition; 2. To eliminate potential hazards and prevent failures; 3. To slow down the deterioration process of parts and extend their service life.
My car just hit 80,000 kilometers, so I went for a full maintenance service, which cost nearly two thousand yuan, but it was worth it. The engine oil and oil filter were replaced because I drive a lot, and dirty oil can affect the engine's lifespan. The spark plugs were a must-change—four new ones every 80,000 kilometers—otherwise, the power drops and fuel consumption increases. The mechanic also checked the brake pads; the front ones were a bit thin and were replaced, while the rear ones were still okay. The transmission fluid needed changing too, especially for an automatic car—it runs much smoother after replacing the old fluid. The air filter and cabin air filter were also replaced to ensure cleaner airflow and better air quality inside the car. The tires were inspected for wear, and luckily, they were even with no major issues. The coolant level was checked and topped up—no need for a full replacement. The chassis and suspension system were also checked to prevent any strange noises. After the full service, the car drives much more smoothly. I recommend not skimping on this—regular maintenance can extend your car's life by ten years.
