1.2T Six years of 49000 kilometers maintenance

September 5, 2024

I like to post my car experience on this forum because it is peaceful and authentic hereIt has been six years without realizing it. This is my first car. I want to record and share my experience with it point by point. Commuting to and from work and traveling in the city on weekends are relatively small, only more than 49000 kilometers in six years. Due to the large amount of oil stored, it is necessary to consume inventory., I have set a maintenance plan for myself twice a year. This has been the case for the past six years, and it has also increased my knowledge of cars and auto repairs. When I didn’t have a private car in the past, even if I managed the car at work, I would throw it to a repair shop or 4S shop during maintenance and repair. I never cared about it or asked for a thorough understanding, because I couldn’t afford a car without spending my own money. I didn’t have the interest to learn about it.
This time I used A5/B5 standard grey-shell 5W-30 engine oil. I believe this should be out of print now. My car is an in-cylinder direct injection engine with a turbine, which is suitable for low-viscosity fully synthetic engine oil. I have used 0W-30 with a small gray shell, but the viscosity is high and the feeling of use is not very good. Now this engine oil feels faster, refreshing and not boring.
Finally, I would like to complain to myself that I am too lazy. The maintenance was done on February 11, and it took half a month to send it now.

Let’s start with the protagonist of this issue, the aging of 5 years and more than 8 months was produced on May 26, 2017. Haha! You still can’t store too much oil.

The oil grade recommended in my car manual is API SN, 20 or 30 viscosity of ILSAC GF-5, and this one fully meets the requirements. At the same time, it also conforms to the European regulations of A5/B5, which should be out of print for Shell Extraordinary Heineken today.

Original and authentic products sold in futures. Haha, I didn’t expect that I could still find anti-counterfeiting information after so long. *** Awesome!

This is the small gray shell 0W-30, A3/B3, that I used to use. The viscosity is too high and it is not suitable for my engine. It was provided by insurance at that time, so it was a waste of time to use it. I knew it was inappropriate to use it.

This oil was not cheap at that time, so let’s get a better filter.

Total mileage.

Miles traveled since last maintenance. There are too few walks, and the key is that there are no programs on the weekend.

Unscrew the old machine filter.

Cheap goods, should be counterfeit Thai-made YZZE1. But it doesn’t matter, I’ll only use it for a few months. I still have two, each of which is heavy and heavy.

Unscrew the oil drain screw to drain the oil. The car has only traveled 2973 kilometers since the last maintenance. Judging from the color, it is still okay, and it can continue to maintain its condition in actual use. However, there is one thing that needs to be noted here. This engine has a serious problem. The phenomenon of gasoline diluting the oil, so this is one of the reasons why I change the oil twice a year.

After putting the oil in the oil pan, the master also used an air gun to blow into the engine from the oil filler port, with the intention of forcing more residual oil out. I want to like this operation!

There was no time to shoot, but the master put pressure on the other side, and another stream of oil flowed out of the oil drain port. When I turned on my mobile phone and wanted to shoot, the remaining oil had almost leaked out.
