The second maintenance involves inspections and servicing of dozens of items across multiple systems including the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires. The key tasks remain replacing the engine oil and oil filter. Details are as follows: 1. During the second maintenance, the cabin air filter and engine air filter should be replaced. In fact, these two components can be replaced by yourself. Simply purchase the parts online and install them yourself, which not only saves on labor costs but also significantly reduces the cost of parts. 2. The second maintenance does not require other replacements or cleaning services. Other inspection items, such as checking the coolant, brake fluid, tire pressure, etc., are generally free. Here’s a reminder to all car owners: Before the second maintenance, be sure to review the service list carefully and avoid unnecessary items.

For the second maintenance, I usually change the engine oil and oil filter, as these are the most basic. Without proper lubrication, the engine can easily get damaged. I also frequently replace the air filter, especially if the driving environment is dusty. It filters out impurities, allowing the engine to breathe smoothly. Checking tire wear is essential—rotating them helps balance pressure. It's also important to inspect the brake discs and brake pads for wear, as safety comes first. Testing the lights and battery is another must; don’t underestimate these small items—they keep the car running smoothly. With regular driving, these basic maintenance tasks are simple and hassle-free. If done well, the car can remain in good condition for years.

From my own experience, the priority during the second maintenance is to change the engine oil and oil filter, which ensures better engine lubrication and smoother driving. The air filter can be replaced based on the situation—if you mostly drive in the city with less dust, it might not need replacement; however, for those frequently driving in suburban or rural areas, it's advisable to replace it. Additionally, it's essential to check tire pressure and balance to prevent the risk of a blowout. The braking system, including brake fluid, should also be tested—this small step can prevent major issues. Spark plugs usually don't need replacement during the second maintenance, but it never hurts to confirm with the technician. The key to maintenance lies in prevention, so don't wait until problems arise to regret it.

For my daily commute to work, I always change the engine oil and oil filter during the second maintenance to protect the engine and extend its lifespan. I also replace the air filter to ensure cleaner air inside the car. The braking system needs thorough inspection, and the brake pads should be replaced if they're worn out. Additionally, I check and top up the coolant to prevent overheating and breakdowns. These simple and efficient maintenance tasks significantly improve the car's reliability, making every journey safer and more reassuring.

As a car enthusiast, for the second maintenance, I insist on changing the engine oil, oil filter, and air filter, as they directly affect engine performance. Rotate the tires to check for wear and balance the pressure to avoid deformation. The braking system, including the brake discs, should be tested—safety cannot be overlooked. Replace the cabin air filter if there's any odor. Spark plugs and the suspension system may need attention after the second maintenance. Taking care of these small details in daily maintenance ensures worry-free long-distance driving.

During my second maintenance, I focused on changing the engine oil and oil filter as the core tasks, since lack of lubrication can cause major engine issues. Replacing the air filter to remove impurities extends engine life and is the most cost-effective. Rotating the tires and checking tire pressure ensures even wear, while testing the brake fluid prevents accidents. Testing light brightness and checking the battery don’t take much time. Completing the full set of maintenance ensures stable vehicle condition, safety, and fuel efficiency.

Can Old License Plates Be Used on New Cars?

Old license plates can be used on new cars. The condition that must be met is that the license plate number has been continuously used under the original owner's name for at least one year, and it will automatically be retained for one year. The following are relevant matters to note regarding the use of old license plates on new cars: 1. Situations where legal entities cannot inherit: If the original owner is a unit (company), after the vehicle is transferred, the license plate is retained under the name of the unit (company), not under the name of the company's legal representative. The legal representative has no right to inherit it. 2. Situations where natural persons cannot inherit: If the vehicle undergoes a transfer of marital property, and the license plate is transferred from one spouse to the other, it must be used under the new owner's name for at least one year before it can be retained. Even if the original owner passes away, the license plate number is not included in the inheritance. 3. Archiving period: After the old license plate is transferred, it cannot be used immediately; there is typically a 3-business-day archiving period.
