How often should I have my car serviced?

It depends on what kind of car you have and what kind of oil you use.

The 4S shop is recommended to maintain 5000 kilometers at a time, but there is no premise, so it includes new cars and old cars.

Economical maintenance.

If it is a Japanese car, it will be maintained once from 1w km, and other vehicles will be maintained once from 1w to km.

It is said that maintenance is done once every six months, but you don't have to drive 1w kilometers for half a year, so you don't have to be so diligent.

Take an example with a formula.

Low service life (new) + less distance (more) The maintenance cycle is calculated according to the normal mileage (it is best to maintain it once a year).

Long service life (old) + less distance The maintenance cycle is calculated according to the normal mileage and advanced by about 1 month.

Long service life (old) + long distance maintenance cycle should also be properly maintained according to 5000 kilometers.

Of course, what air conditioning filters, spark plugs, brake pads or something are asked to change in the shop, and they are usually really going to be replaced, so I won't say more.

Finally, I hope it can help you.

Generally, if the first warranty is used, the domestic car is 3000 kilometers or three months for the first maintenance; The joint venture car is generally 5,000 kilometers or half a year, which comes first, whichever is the first.

If it is an ordinary mineral engine oil, it needs to be maintained when it reaches 5,000 kilometers or about half a year, and whichever comes first shall prevail.

The use of semi-synthetic engine oil is 7500 kilometers or a year, and maintenance is carried out. If you use a fully synthetic engine oil, you can maintain it at 10,000 kilometers or once a year.

1. In the first warranty, usually replace the oil and oil filter, if you want to maintain it according to 10,000 kilometers, it is recommended to add fully synthetic engine oil when making up the difference in the first warranty.

2. Every 10,000 kilometers, in addition to replacing the oil filter, the air filter should also be replaced. And check the air conditioner filter to see if it needs to be replaced.

3. When it reaches 20,000 kilometers, the fuel filter should be replaced on the basis of the oil filter and air filter.

4. When it reaches 40,000 kilometers, it is necessary to carry out a major maintenance of the vehicle. In addition to replacing the oil filter, the air cleaner and cabin air filter should also be replaced, including carbon deposits in the intake, throttle, and fuel injectors. Check the condition of the spark plug to see if it needs to be replaced.

5. When it reaches 60,000 kilometers, it is recommended to change the transmission oil for automatic transmission cars. For manual transmission vehicles, you can change them when you run to 80,000 or 100,000 kilometers.

The first maintenance of a new car is generally done within 3,000 kilometers or within 3 months.

However, the first warranty time and the number of kilometers of the first warranty are different for different brands, different models and different use statuses. The first warranty time and the first warranty kilometers of specific models are subject to the vehicle maintenance manual. For example, the 2021 Guangqi Honda Lingpai model:

The first maintenance must be completed within 3 months or 5,000 km after the purchase of the car, whichever comes first.

Car maintenance can maintain and restore the technical performance of the car, and ensure that the car has good usability and reliability. Timely and correct maintenance is an important part of prolonging the service life of the car and ensuring driving safety.

The car is composed of many parts, and in the process of using the car, each part will inevitably produce different degrees of wear, looseness, or other damage, etc., and the original size, shape and surface quality may change, destroying the matching characteristics and working conditions of the parts. If maintenance is not carried out in time, the wear and tear of the parts will increase dramatically, and the power and economy of the car may deteriorate.

Items included in the first maintenance of the vehicle

1. Check whether the content of coolant is within the normal range.

2. Check the condition of the engine, such as whether the pipeline is connected normally, whether there is a leakage point, whether there is abnormal noise in the engine work, etc.

3. Check whether the chassis parts are corroded or scratched.

4. Check the degree of wear between the brake pads and the tires, and understand the specific tire pressure.

5. Conduct a comprehensive cleaning of the vehicle, such as the body, engine compartment, interior, etc.

6. Check whether the margin of booster oil is insufficient, and whether there is oil leakage in the buckles of each oil pipe.

As the vehicle's mileage increases, the components also gradually deteriorate, resulting in reduced performance. If left unattended, it will not only affect the driving of the vehicle, but also cause danger. If parts are replaced in a timely manner, the vehicle will be kept in top condition.

Regular maintenance is divided into three aspects:

One. Engine part:

Engine oil - every 5000 kilometers is the best time to change the oil, if the replacement cycle is long, it will cause internal wear and tear of the engine, in addition, the frequency of vehicle use is less should be replaced by 3 months, because the oil will deteriorate after a long time, can not play a role in protecting the engine. Replacement standard - 5000 km or 3 months.

Oil Filters – If the filter is dirty, even if the oil is changed, it will be less effective, and it is effective to change it at the same time as the engine oil. Replacement standard - 5000 km or 3 months.

Belt - The role is to transfer the power generated by the engine to the generator. The air conditioning compressor is further transmitted to the fan for engine cooling, so that all parts work well together.

Timing belts. Fan belts. Steering machine belt. The normal tightness of the engine belt should be 10-15mm. Replacement standard - check at the time of regular maintenance.

Antifreeze – When driving in cold areas, don't forget to increase the concentration of antifreeze, usually about 30%, in order to prevent freezing, it is best to ensure that it is 40-50%. Replacement standard – at the time of vehicle inspection.

Air cleaner – when replacing the standard 20,000 km.

Automatic Transmission Fluid – Replacement standard is recommended for every 40,000 km service.

Batteries — replacement standard every 2 years.

Spark plugs – replacement standard every 20,000 km.

Two. Chassis part:

Tires - replacement standard: early replacement when the groove depth is less than 4mm.

Brake pads Brake shoes - replace the standard brake pads above, brake shoes above.

Brake Disc Brake Drum - Replace the standard brake disc above, within the inner diameter of the brake drum.

Brake fluid — replacement standard every 40,000 km.

Three. Miscellaneous;

Air Conditioner Filters – Replacement standard every 10,000 km.

Wiper blades – check when replacing standard maintenance.

Lamp bulbs – check when replacing standard maintenance.

Pacific Automobile Network] car maintenance is generally carried out in 2-30,000 kilometers or once every two years, different car brands, different driving environments and different driving habits will affect the time and frequency of car maintenance, and the owner needs to carry out car maintenance through reasonable car conditions.

Car maintenance items:

1. Machine filter: machine filter has a very important role in the operation process of the engine, used to absorb debris, impurities and moisture mixed in the engine oil, the engine will produce various frictions in the normal operation process, and these debris will be mixed in the oil in the continuous friction process, if there is a problem with the machine filter, it will affect the cleanliness of the engine oil, and it will also directly affect the lubrication effect of the engine and produce abnormal wear.

2. Steam filter: steam filter and machine filter are essentially the same, the normal operation of steam filter can filter impurities and moisture in gasoline, provide clean gasoline for the engine, so that the engine can play a greater performance during operation, and provide a more reliable power output for the owner.

3. Coolant: The coolant of the car can not only be anti-freezing, but also anti-corrosion, anti-scale, anti-boiling, etc., not only in winter, but also in summer, it is an indispensable medium for the normal operation of the engine, and it needs to be checked during major maintenance to avoid abnormalities.

Generally, the small maintenance of the car takes 30-40 minutes, and the major maintenance is between an hour and two hours

Daily car maintenance is very important. A little carelessness in daily maintenance will not only cause unnecessary damage to the vehicle, but also endanger driving safety. For example, the lack of lubricating oil will cause the cylinder to burn the tile, and the dysfunction of a certain part of the vehicle will lead to traffic accidents; On the contrary, if the daily work is done carefully and conscientiously, not only can the vehicle be kept new, but also the technical condition of each part of the vehicle can be mastered, and mechanical accidents and traffic accidents can be avoided.

In fact, the daily maintenance work is very simple, which can be summed up as: cleaning, fastening, inspection, and supplementation.

The air contains a large amount of dust, sediment and acidic substances, which are not only easy to be adhered to by leaking fuel, but also easy to form a hard insulation layer under high temperature baking, which makes the heat dissipation performance of the parts worse, and is easy to be eroded by the static electricity of the body and erode the paint surface, making it fade prematurely.

Clean air filter: If the air filter is too dirty, it will steeply prevent fresh air from entering the cylinder, resulting in excessive gas concentration, incomplete combustion, power drop, and excessive exhaust air. Modern air filters generally use paper filters, pay attention to the following:

Do not wash with water or oil, and should use the pat and blow method. The light pat method is to gently pat the end face of the filter element to make the dust fall off. The purging method is to use the compressed air filter to blow outward, and the air pressure:

The force should not be exceeded.

Clean the oil filter: The oil filter is clogged, which will hinder the flow of lubricating oil, making the engine poorly lubricated, increased wear and tear, and even burning tiles. For this purpose, it should be cleaned or replaced regularly.

It is usually replaced every 8000km if the weather is dry. It should be shortened to 5000km and replaced once.

Clean battery: Modern cars generally use maintenance-free batteries, first clean the top of the battery to avoid short circuits caused by electrolyte or other impurities between the poles; Secondly, clean the battery binding post to prevent the joint from producing oxides and causing poor contact. The vent should be unobstructed to avoid excessive pressure or temperature in the battery and cause the hand to burst.
