What needs to be replaced during an 80,000-kilometer major maintenance?
1 Answers
For an 80,000-kilometer major maintenance, in addition to the routine replacement of oil filter, engine oil, and air filter, you also need to replace the fuel filter, cabin air filter, battery, brake pads, transmission fluid, timing belt, etc. Here is an extended introduction: 1. Brake fluid: Manufacturers generally recommend replacement at around 50,000 kilometers, but in reality, if there are no major issues and the braking system functions normally, replacement isn't necessary. The handbrake warning light will illuminate or flash when the brake fluid is nearly depleted, and replacing it at that point is not too late. Don't replace it just because the repair shop suggests it. 2. Engine oil: Foreign engine oils typically require replacement at 10,000 kilometers, but domestic manufacturers, citing poor road conditions in China, often shorten the replacement interval to 7,500 kilometers or even 5,000 kilometers. However, as long as the oil remains clear and the oil level doesn't fall below the minimum mark, frequent replacement isn't necessary under normal circumstances. 3. Power steering fluid: Power steering fluid doesn't need frequent replacement. Dealers usually recommend replacement every 100,000 kilometers, and not replacing it won't pose any safety risks. If the power steering fluid is low, the engine may produce unusual noises. There is also a minimum mark for power steering fluid; replacement is only needed when it falls below this level.
