A few days ago, the 4S shop informed me that it was time for maintenance. At first glance, the days were almost over, mainly because the number of kilometers was a little longer. However, due to the local epidemic, many roads were not allowed to go, so I kept dragging them on. Finally, after receiving the release, I rushed to the store to do a maintenance.
There weren’t many people in the store, but they couldn’t stop the enthusiastic smiles of the receptionists. Although everyone was wearing masks, the enthusiasm in their eyes could still be felt. It might also be because they hadn’t had so many customers for a long time. This time, the store made a new discovery. The QR code tag of the service consultant has been posted on the partitions. This is a new improvement in the service.
Because my car doesn’t run a lot, I don’t have a lot of things to replace. I just replaced the most basic oil and filter. The oil is replaced with fully synthetic oil. Toyota’s fully synthetic oil is divided into many types, and the price is also different. However, no matter which one is used, as long as it is for Toyota, you will feel safe to use it, and after-sales protection is also a guarantee.
After a simple registration, the service consultant introduced both the projects to be done this time and the items for free inspection. I have to say that Toyota’s services are becoming more and more complete, and many free inspection items have also been done and many contents are also Relatively humane.
This time, in addition to the oil filter, there was a 9.9 air conditioning package inspection. There was no charge for the inspection, but glass water and other oils were also provided as a gift. This was a disguised attraction to us, only charging a lower price.
The oil replacement process this time was also very exciting. Although the vehicle did not run much, because it had been idle for a long time, although the oil was not so dirty, the viscosity could be clearly seen. The maintenance personnel said that they were not professionals. Staff can tell this. There is a big difference between winter oil and summer oil, which can be seen from the oil label. After that, the service staff taught me a lesson with great interest.
This is the code on the oil barrel. SP/GF-6 is regarded as the highest level of engine oil, and its purity is quite good. This is defined by the American Petroleum Research Institute standard. In the past, the highest one used in my car was N-level, but now I use P-level. GF-6 refers to the national sixth-level engine oil, and 0W-20 refers to the viscosity and temperature adaptation of the engine oil. These can identify the range of use, wear resistance, lubrication, and durability of this engine oil. Originally, the GF-4/5 already used high-precision engines, but Toyota has begun to use the-6 level, which explains why Toyota’s oil is said to be expensive by everyone. Picture oil and machine filter. Interested friends can check if they are this kind of thing when you are maintaining it.
In terms of air conditioning inspection, I only did a concentration test. My car is okay. I just need to use it a few more times. In the words of the service staff, it is not easy to do in all walks of life, and everyone saves money wherever they can.
