Many people now own their own cars, which are also regularly serviced. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of checking, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting or replacing certain parts of the car on a regular basis, also known as car maintenance.


The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the appearance of the car clean, the technical condition is normal, to eliminate hidden dangers, to prevent the occurrence of failures, to slow down the deterioration process, and to extend the service life. Let's take a look at what areas need maintenance.


1. Oil maintenance



If the car engine is the heart of the car, then the oil is the blood of the car. The general car maintenance mileage is mainly 5,000 kilometers, and the maintenance mileage of some vehicles is 10,000 kilometers. The specific maintenance mileage and years are best based on the maintenance manual. The selection of maintenance oil is mainly based on the requirements of the engine and the use environment. If the selected oil grade does not match, it will cause serious consequences such as poor lubrication and oil burning.


2. Brake fluid maintenance



The maintenance interval for brake fluid is 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. Brake fluid is the foundation of guaranteeing the braking system, so its requirements are relatively high. Different grades of brake fluid cannot be mixed. The reason the brakes need to be replaced is that water in the air can get into the brake fluid to lower the fluid's boiling point, resulting in poor braking, or even no brakes. Remember to change the brake fluid according to the maintenance manual to protect yourself and others.


3. Maintenance of glass water



The role of glass water is to clean the windshield. Glass water is winter glass water and summer glass water. The requirements for glass water in summer are not so high. The main function of glass water in summer is to remove shellac. Water can be added appropriately when adding glass water. In winter, glass water with a high freezing point should be selected according to the local temperature.
