What needs to be done for a major maintenance at 60,000 kilometers?
1 Answers
The main items for a major maintenance at 60,000 kilometers are: 1. Engine oil and oil filter. Due to the harsh conditions of high temperature and high pressure inside the engine, the shelf life of engine oil is significantly shortened, and its performance greatly declines. Over time, it can no longer protect the engine effectively. The oil filter prevents impurities from mixing with the oil, which can cause oxidation, leading to the formation of sludge and clogging the oil passages. Both the engine oil and oil filter should be replaced simultaneously. The air filter should be replaced every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers. 2. Cabin air filter. Its working principle is similar to that of the air filter. To ensure fresh air while the car's air conditioning is on, the cabin air filter should be replaced regularly. If you notice an unpleasant odor or a large amount of dust blowing out from the vents when using the air conditioning, the cabin air filter should be replaced promptly. 3. Brake system. Brake fluid is affected by environmental humidity, and over time, it can lead to reduced braking performance. The same applies to brake pads. If the thickness of the brake pads no longer meets safety requirements, they should be replaced. 4. Spark plugs. The replacement interval depends on the material of the spark plugs. Generally, spark plugs should be replaced every 2 to 4 years. Even if the spark plugs haven't completely failed, a decline in ignition performance can directly affect the car's power and fuel consumption.
