What maintenance items should be done when the car reaches 20,000 kilometers?
1 Answers
In fact, 20,000 kilometers is a medium maintenance, while a major maintenance is performed every 40,000 kilometers. At 20,000 kilometers, the maintenance includes replacing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and cabin air filter, along with some routine inspections. First, the inspection items are not necessarily replacement items, but the engine oil and oil filter must be replaced according to the normal maintenance cycle. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The role of replacing the air filter: Timely replacement of the air filter can reduce wear on parts such as cylinders, pistons, and piston rings. The filter consists of a filter element and a housing. The main requirements for an air filter are high filtration efficiency, low flow resistance, and the ability to be used continuously for a long time without maintenance. 2. The role of engine oil: When replacing the lubricating oil, the oil filter must also be replaced, otherwise it will affect the quality of the lubricating oil. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is referred to as the 'blood' of the car, as it lubricates, cleans, cools, seals, and reduces friction in the engine. 3. The engine is the heart of the car: The engine contains many metal surfaces that rub against each other during movement. These parts operate at high speeds, in harsh environments, and can reach working temperatures of 400°C to 600°C. Under such severe conditions, only qualified lubricating oil can reduce wear on engine parts and extend their service life. The replacement cycle for engine oil and the oil filter is generally 5,000 kilometers.
