In the past few years, I feel that life has passed very quickly. In a twinkling of an eye, I have been visiting the mountain for almost five months, with an average of less than 1000 kilometers a month. You have to ask me how to drive, to tell the truth, I usually commute to and from work, or to travel and play. The sales ordered 5000 kilometers to change the oil, and as soon as I arrived at the mileage, I hurried to the store to change it. I used the car more carefully to share with you the experience of the first insurance.
The first insurance of Tanyue is free. Why is it learned by chatting with maintenance workers that it is directly related to the replacement of oil, because the oil replaced by the first insurance is semi-synthetic oil and cannot run too many kilometers, normal or 5000 kilometers? In other words, after a period of time, you still have to come to the store for maintenance, and when you do the second maintenance, the replacement oil will be better, it is fully synthetic oil, and the mileage is also more, the normal is 10000 kilometers.
It is worth noting that after changing the oil and machine filter, you can choose to replace the air filter element, but it costs extra money, about 100 normally. Anyway, I did not agree to change it. I am going to buy it online and then replace it myself. this part is very simple to replace. Just on the inside of the co-driver’s hand buckle, using your own hands can save dozens of yuan. If you have poor hands-on ability, it is recommended to change the air filter in the store. This is still necessary.
Starting with the picture above, let’s take a look at the process of first insurance.
Lift the hood and the 1.4T engine does look much weaker than the 2.0T one.
The mountain exploration that is held up is very domineering from this point of view, and I also happen to take a look at the structure of its chassis.
Open the protective shell of its chassis, the structure inside is so complicated that for beginners, apart from the oil filter element, they can’t understand it.
The cylinder-shaped silver one is the oil filter element, and then there is a screw on the back, which can be unscrewed to release the oil.
Open the screw to put the oil, 5000 kilometers of oil is already quite dirty, this will give my car “blood change”.
After putting in the back, remove the oil filter element.
Every time the oil is changed in a normal store, the oil screws will be changed together.
Install the original oil filter element (black)

Here, I would like to say that the chassis protective shell of Tanyue should not be easily replaced with iron material. First, the steel material will collide with pebbles on the sand and gravel road surface. Second, if the screws are loose, it will also produce noise. Third, it is easy to rust after using it for a long time.
Finally, install the chassis protection shell, pay attention to the original factory of this chassis protection shell quality is very good, is a very thick hard plastic material, it is recommended not to change the iron material.
Disassemble-drain-install, and then add new oil to the car. It is necessary to compare the colors of the two oils and change the oil frequently.
First insured engine oil 5W-40
The new oil is so golden and bright that compared with the one released in the car, it is absolutely necessary to change it.
Four liters should be just right.
Pull out the oil dipstick and check the oil filling.
Finally check the tire pressure.
The simple first insurance process is roughly like this. Less than half an hour after the whole journey, the maintenance worker is very good. If you ask him anything you don’t understand, you can answer it patiently. This is my first insurance experience. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
Finally, talking about the necessity of the garage, the following pictures were taken in the process of first insurance, and you may not see anything at first glance. After careful observation, you will find that the mouse footprints on them are not afraid of it stepping on them, but that they will nibble on the wires and destroy the circuits, which will be very troublesome and dangerous. If there were a garage, this kind of thing might have been avoided.
The engine cover is dirty and covered with dust.
When I looked at it carefully, I found that there were many small marks on it, a bit like the scratches of branches and leaves.
According to the maintenance worker, these are the footprints of a mouse. On second thought, this is indeed the case. I am a little worried!
