What needs to be replaced during a car maintenance service?
1 Answers
The following are parts that need replacement during car maintenance: 1. Engine oil and oil filter: These basically need replacement during every maintenance service. Car engine oil is generally divided into three types - mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil, each with different replacement intervals. 2. Coolant: Automotive coolant serves anti-freeze purposes and also helps cool the engine during operation. In winter when temperatures are low, coolant prevents low-temperature damage to the engine. Typically, coolant needs replacement every three years or 50,000 kilometers. 3. Windshield washer fluid: This is mainly used to clean windshield dirt and needs timely replenishment when depleted. During winter use, it's recommended to add anti-freeze washer fluid to prevent freezing damage to the fluid reservoir. 4. Cabin air filter: This filters incoming air to ensure clean air from the vents, generally requiring replacement every 1 to 2 years.
