What materials are needed for vehicle maintenance?
2 Answers
Materials needed for vehicle maintenance include the vehicle registration certificate and the maintenance manual. Below are the relevant details: Benefits of vehicle maintenance: Timely replacement of excessively dirty engine oil effectively protects the engine or transmission. It ensures smoother vehicle operation, reduces engine wear, and extends the vehicle's lifespan. Engine oil serves a lubricating function. If not replaced for a long time, it becomes dirty with many impurities, leading to poor lubrication, which not only shortens the engine's lifespan but also increases noise. Precautions for vehicle maintenance: Regularly check if coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid are sufficient. Coolant ensures normal vehicle operation in winter by preventing freezing. Brake fluid is an essential component of the braking system. Windshield washer fluid is used for cleaning the windshield. Ensuring these fluids are at adequate levels is crucial for the vehicle's proper functioning.
I always prepare thoroughly for car maintenance—veteran driver's experience, you know. The main items I bring are the vehicle manual, which specifies maintenance intervals and recommended services; the vehicle registration certificate is a must as repair shops need to verify vehicle information; I carry my driver's license to prove I drove there; it's also good to have the maintenance log or the last service receipt handy for their reference on past maintenance; naturally, the keys have to be given to the technician; and payment methods like credit cards shouldn't be forgotten for easy checkout. Additionally, I always recommend checking the oil dipstick and tire pressure beforehand and taking photos for reference, so everything is ready when arriving at the shop. I remember one time when I forgot the manual, and the technician spent ages looking up information, which wasted time. So now I've made it a habit to keep all materials in a folder that I carry with me. Honestly, being well-prepared saves a lot of hassle.
