Details are the key to maintaining vehicles–A record of 23,000 kilometers of Corolla maintenance

September 8, 2024

Routine maintenance of vehicles is nothing more than changing oil, machine filters, air filters, air conditioners, brake fluid and water tank levels. This maintenance was preceded by a self-driving trip to Chongqing, Guizhou and Yunnan (April). When taking the Guanxing Highway (Guanling to Xingyi in Guizhou), this road was under maintenance. There were several sections of road conditions that were very poor, and there were a few minor scratches on the bottom; there were also roads in Puzhehe, Yunnan. The road conditions were extremely poor. The vehicle slipped many times. After turning off the body stability control (ESP), the village successfully entered the village. Therefore, this maintenance pays special attention to the inspection of the chassis. Fortunately, no problems were found.
The 2017 Corolla 1.2T GL-i is more suitable for long-distance running. It has strong acceleration in the middle section, great overtaking and climbing, and relatively low fuel consumption. The average fuel consumption for trips to Chongqing, Guizhou and Yunnan in April was 5.6 liters. You can run more than 800 kilometers with a tank of oil filled up, and you can refuel about 40 liters each time. However, the fuel consumption is still relatively high for running short distances and encountering congested road conditions. The average of 22681 kilometers is 5.9 liters. This is the number displayed on the odometer and may not be accurate.

This is an average fuel consumption of 22681 kilometers, 5.9 liters.

Check the lights

Check the liquid level

check the battery

Remove air filter and air conditioning filter

Check the chassis and there are no problems.

Drain old oil

Added engine guard

Install the oil drain screw

Mark after tightening the screws

Check tires, brakes, suspension, etc. while draining oil

Check brakes and suspension

install oil filter

Add new oil. This time I used 5W–20. Because the lowest weather in Langfang is minus 15 degrees, it is a bit wasteful to use 0W–20 engine oil. So switching to 5W–20 also saved 130 yuan.

I also marked it after adding the oil, but I forgot to take photos at that time.

Install air filter and air conditioning filter

Lift the car again after landing, check for leaks and tighten chassis screws.

Lower the vehicle and clean the engine compartment

Here are a few photos of self-driving travel in April this year, so as to save everyone from being a little overwhelmed by just looking at vehicle maintenance.
