Newcomer’s first post records the maintenance process of my family in the fifth year
OliveWalsh 
6 For the first time in my life, I drove to do maintenance alone. Before I went, I wanted to record it. My husband said, “take some pictures then and listen carefully to the master’s instructions.” that’s all. I cheered up 12 points and completed this maintenance experience. I also came to the forum to share this experience with you.
Usually I drive another tram, the BMW 5 Series at home is always open to the public, and I don’t care about maintenance. This time he said it was time for maintenance in Department 5, but he didn’t have time for a business trip, so he gave me this glorious and arduous task.
At first, I was a little confused. I didn’t do maintenance at all. I didn’t know what the general process was. My husband explained that he had bought a BMW Changyue maintenance package on My BMW APP. This package can last 5 years or 100000 kilometers, which is equivalent to a 45% discount on maintenance, including time and parts fees. My husband’s careful calculation is really up to me. Haha ~
I went to My BMW APP to have a look, and now the items in the latest maintenance package have been upgraded, which is a little different from the package service items bought by my husband.
There are two versions of the new package. In addition to the engine filter and air filter element, the standard version also adds spark plug maintenance, and the oil has been upgraded from the previous 5W-30 to 0W-20 oil, which is said to be of better quality. Anyway, the items in the package are all must-do items on a regular basis, so it’s not as cost-effective as buying them all at once. And it’s easy to buy this package. It’s been 5 years of work and leisure.

It is also really convenient to use. Make an appointment directly on My BMW. When I drive the car to the 4s store, there will be a special reception. There is no need to wait in line. I think it is very easy to use and share it with you.
The service at the BMW 4s store was really attentive. The staff knew that this was my first time and asked the technician to drive the car away and prepare to take me to the rest area for coffee, but I thought that it was rare for me to come to the 4s store for maintenance, and it was no fun to drink coffee. It’s better to see how the masters do the maintenance and learn about it, so as not to be told that the female driver doesn’t know anything about cars.
This time, I specifically asked the maintenance master several questions. He knew that I was using the Changyue maintenance package, and he kept on saying that this package was really good, and the price was much cheaper than that of a single maintenance.
In fact, I have another abacus in mind, cheap is one thing, and what is more important is to come to the 4s store for maintenance, because all the accessories used in the 4s store are original accessories, after all, the quality of the original accessories is guaranteed and more useful. Outside the small repair shop encountered me this do not know how to do maintenance, it is difficult to say what accessories to use.
In addition, the maintenance and repair personnel of their 4s store are all old masters, with at least more than three years of practical experience, and the equipment is more comprehensive and professional, unlike the outside repair shop, which sometimes gives your car to the apprentice for practice. I am safe, who will protect me?

Next, I will share my little knowledge with you, and by the way, I will review it again, .
For example, the oil filter element, the master specially put the new and old ones together while comparing and telling me.
The oil filter element is mainly used to filter the sundries, colloid and moisture brought by the oil in the process of use, so that the oil can maintain a good lubrication effect. If it is used for a long time, the dirty oil has blackened, and the filtering effect will decline. Eventually, it will affect the life of the engine.
The master said that it is more reliable to use the original factory, because the filter of the original factory is better, and its service life is longer. he has seen many people change the fake machine filter outside, and it should be replaced in less than half a year, and some of the fake machine filter quality is even worse, directly scrapping the engine.

There is also the fuel filter element, although the interior can not be seen, but the master said that the principle of the filter element is relatively similar, and it will accumulate a lot of impurities, moisture and colloid in gasoline over a long time, which will affect the fuel filtration effect and lead to the decline of engine performance.
I also followed the advice of the master and replaced it this time. The fuel filter element of the original factory uses high-performance filter material, which can filter out a lot of small particles, which is a barrier to ensure clean gasoline supply to the engine.
In order to make your car’s engine use clean gasoline, it seems that you should safely change the fuel filter element in the 4S store. if you want to replace the inferior filter element on the outside, it will make the engine have poor heat dissipation, serious or even cylinder burst. That sounds scary.

That sounds scary.
In addition, there is the maintenance of air filter element. Let’s see if the removed air filter element does not look dirty, but if you look at the upper left corner, there is a lot of dust and small fragments inside, and it will also affect the intake efficiency of the engine if you do not change it for a long time.
The filter paper of BMW’s original air filter is made of special material, which can be used to clean the air more stably than miscellaneous brand air filter and help gasoline fuel efficiently. Moreover, the filtration effect of air filter outside is not good, and the inside of the engine will be sucked into the magazine. Increase the wear between the cylinder and the piston, damage the engine.
In addition, the master also told me a discrimination tip: there is an obvious metal tapping sound when the vehicle starts cold and the power drops during rapid acceleration, which indicates that you may have used inferior air filtration.

Then there was the spark plug. When it was removed and compared at that time, it was obvious that there was some carbon accumulation on the old one, and the metal shell had been blackened by high temperature. The master said that if fuel consumption increased, the vehicle did not accelerate smoothly and there was a “wheezing” phenomenon during ignition, maybe it’s time to replace the spark plug.
When I was there when I installed it, I thought that the spark plug would be fine. As a result, the master said that this thing could not be twisted casually. If the torque was not right, it would cause abnormal noise or cause the spark plug to break. They all use a torque wrench to apply the standard torque required by BMW to ensure that the torque is properly installed.

Finally, there is the maintenance of air conditioning filter element. The main function of the air conditioner filter element is to filter the small impurities and harmful substances that enter the gas in the car and improve the air quality in the car. I still care about the air quality in the car, otherwise it will affect the ride feeling too much.
The filter material used in the air conditioner filter element of the original factory should be better, the dust in the air and so on can be blocked out. If the air-conditioning filter element does not change for a long time or uses a poor-quality air-conditioning filter element, there is no way to filter harmful substances, it belongs to cover your ears and steal the bell, installed is equal to white.

Finally, changing the oil is also a major event. If the oil is not changed for a long time, it will affect the performance of the engine. This time, a total of 6 barrels of original 5W-30 oil were replaced. Because we bought this package last year.
The upgraded 0W-20 engine oil in Changyue maintenance package now has better cold start performance than the previous 5W-30 engine oil. It can effectively reduce wear and tear in winter and provide long-term and effective protection.
There are too many fake engine oils outside now, and some of them cannot be distinguished with the naked eye. If the lubrication effect is not good, it will be inappropriate to directly damage the engine. The master said that many car owners come to him to repair the engine because they use fake engine oils. Therefore, all motorists must change the original engine oil at the 4s shop to change the oil, which is the best protection for the engine.

The master told me so much, but in the final analysis, he just told me to go to a regular 4s shop when doing maintenance. I also know that the master is selfish, but the work he does is of high quality and quantity. Whether it is the parts used or the master’s technology, there is nothing to say. It is definitely more secure than outside repair shops;
There is also a need to maintain your car on time. Some parts are replaced in one year or 10,000 kilometers, and some are replaced in two years or 20,000 kilometers. The official website has instructions and the car system also has prompts. I don’t remember the details.
Anyway, as long as you follow these two points, one is to do maintenance on time according to the requirements of the official website, and the other is to go to a regular 4s shop for maintenance, the car will not make you worry too much.
By the way, take a look at the master’s maintenance process:

By the way, take a look at the master’s maintenance process:
First put disposable protective covers on the inside of the car
Check tire pressure and tire wear
Let out the old engine oil, it’s so dirty, haha
Then add new BMW original engine oil
The master is installing the four spark plugs
Then there is a new air filter element
After everything is done, wash it all clean for Lao Wu
I went home happily. This is my first time to maintain it myself. I learned a lot about car maintenance and things to pay attention to.
If you want to maintain it, I will once again give you this Changyue maintenance package. It will last for 5 years after buying it. The price is very exciting. It really saves peace and money. I hope everyone can cherish your car and maintain it carefully ~
