How should the owner maintain the three major parts of the car and what precautions should be taken


For the automobile, the three major parts are very important parts. Careful maintenance of the three major parts during normal use can not only ensure driving safety, but also effectively prolong the service life of the automobile. But how can we effectively maintain the car? In other words, what kind of maintenance is the most cost-effective?


The three major parts of the car include the engine, gearbox and chassis. In fact, most car owners know about engine maintenance. For example, the most routine minor maintenance is to replace the oil and filter. What kind of oil the car owner chooses to use affects the cycle and frequency of oil replacement in the future. Generally, the service cycle of fully synthetic oil is the longest, It can be replaced after driving 10000 km or 1 year. The replacement cycle of mineral oil and semi synthetic oil is shorter, usually 5000 km or once every 6 months. However, it is recommended to replace some cars every 7500 km or once every 9 months. The maintenance frequency should be determined according to the actual situation of the vehicle. In addition, the oil filter should be replaced at the same time to prevent impurities in the oil from entering the engine.


The air filter element is also a part of engine maintenance. Its main function is to keep dust and other impurities in the air out. If impurities enter the engine, it will aggravate engine wear and affect engine performance. Therefore, the air filter element should be cleaned and replaced regularly, especially in areas with serious haze or dust, Shorten the replacement cycle according to your actual situation.


With the increase of vehicle use time, there will be carbon deposits in the engine more or less. If the carbon deposits are serious, the engine compartment needs to be cleaned. It is recommended to clean the carbon deposits every 30000 km. Some Japanese cars are prone to carbon deposits and need to be cleaned frequently. In addition, do not flush directly with a water gun, but use special detergent.


Of course, we should not forget the spark plug. It is a very small part of the engine, but it is very important. Its main function is to ignite the engine. If there is a problem with the spark plug, the car may not start. Spark plugs also have their own replacement cycle and are not fixed. Pay attention to matching when replacing spark plugs. Different calorific values are applicable to different engines. If you consider buying them yourself, pay attention not to be greedy for cheap and try to buy genuine ones. In addition, each cylinder has a spark plug. It is best to replace it together.


Then let's talk about the gearbox. Normally, the gearbox will not have particularly serious problems during the service life of a vehicle. Just pay attention to changing the gearbox oil during maintenance. Manual gearbox usually needs to be replaced every 100000 km, automatic gearbox needs to be replaced every 60000 km, and the quality of gearbox oil also needs to be strictly controlled, If the transmission oil with poor quality is used, it may cause damage to the transmission and affect the performance. It should be mentioned that there are two ways to replace the transmission oil at present, gravity replacement and cyclic replacement. Although gravity replacement is not enough to completely replace the transmission oil, it is cheap and affordable. Cyclic replacement can completely replace the transmission oil, but the price will be slightly more expensive. The two methods have their own advantages, and the owner can choose at will.


Finally, the maintenance of the car chassis. The chassis is different from the engine and gearbox. If you don't feel that the chassis is obviously abnormal, you don't need to replace any accessories. Usually, you can clean the chassis at most to keep it clean and prevent serious rust on the chassis. In addition, if the owner often drives on muddy, mountain roads and other roads with poor road conditions, it is recommended to install an armor on the chassis to prevent the chassis from being damaged by collision. In addition, if the chassis makes an abnormal noise or shakes abnormally during the use of the car, you should be vigilant, because it is likely that some part is abnormal. At this time, you'd better check it to ensure driving safety.


It is important for car owners to know about car maintenance. Proper maintenance can reduce the probability of vehicle parts failure, prolong the service life of the vehicle and let car owners have a better car experience.
