The actual mileage of driving this year is still shorter than that of the previous year. The reason is estimated to know, yes, it is the epidemic factors that caused the reduction in travel, and we all feel the same, right?
My Asian dragon has traveled 18000 kilometers, the flagship version of the twin engines, and currently consumes a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.8km. You can take a look at the instrument below, which is not much different from the actual fuel consumption. Recently, oil prices have been rising continuously, and the advantages of mixing have been further highlighted. The oil price in Chengdu today is 6.21 yuan and 6.63 yuan respectively. Many cyclists in our Asian Dragon WeChat group have questions about whether it is all right to add 9 kilos of gasoline. Toyota manufacturers suggest that it is more than 9 years old, and this is OK. But I don’t think it’s necessary. Toyota is famous for its endurance, so it’s no problem eating coarse grains.
It has been almost two years since I picked up the car at the end of April 2019. Although the mileage is less than 20, 000 kilometers, 17, 000 roads can be maintained considering the Asian Dragon’s free maintenance benefits (free basic maintenance of 100000 kilometers for four years). Plus just in time for the fuel pump recall, let’s do it together!
The meter shows that the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is 4.8L, which is the mileage taken yesterday, which is already 17992 kilometers.
Oil prices have been rising recently. Let’s take a look at today’s oil prices.
This is the fuel consumption statistics that I have been doing since I picked up the car. This kind of statistics is more accurate than the table, and the overall fuel consumption is 4.79.
The maintenance was done in the first 10 days or so. Because I was busy at the end of the year, I had time to submit the maintenance work today. I bought the car in Jintai Toyota, which is on the East third Ring Road of Chengdu. Because I have been there many times, I feel that the service and after-sales are good, so the maintenance is arranged here. It is recommended that you make an appointment in advance. At the end of the year, there are many cars to do maintenance and maintenance. Booking can save time, and there is a discount on working hours (please ignore free maintenance).
The following picture was taken during maintenance on January 13, with a mileage of 17129 kilometers. There were really a lot of cars on that day, ha. Give the car after sale and walk around the hall. The Asian dragon has an exhibition car, take a picture at will.
Coincidentally, on the same day, the Asian Dragon Group had a car friend to pick up the car, and also took a picture of his car. There have been many upgrades to the 21 Asian dragons. I think that when we were carrying the car at that time, only the top version had the brown interior decoration, but now we can choose from both the secondary top and medium ones. To tell you the truth, I really like this brown interior. I changed Hananda into this one, .
After waiting for an hour or so, it was finally my Asian dragon’s turn to do maintenance. In fact, routine maintenance is very simple, oil filter, machine filter, chassis tires and so on, big several no problem, basically very OK. There are specific inspection and replacement items below. I’ll talk about it slowly for you.
Let’s talk about tires here. Jintai’s maintenance master is very responsible, and the pebbles inside the tires have been cleared one by one. Winter tire pressure, because the temperature is low, it is appropriate to increase to 2.3. When you are free, take a look at your own tire pressure.
In addition, we have traveled 17000 kilometers and the tires have been transposed. And carried out the dynamic balance test, very meticulous maintenance.
Many riders like to mess with engine oil, and they also ask questions in the group. In fact, as long as you buy authentic all-synthetic oil, the model 0W-20 is fine.
Toyota uses pure brand oil, which is also manufactured by Shell. As long as everyone in accordance with the requirements of the maintenance manual, maintenance on time will be OK!
You can take a look at the maintenance operation record form below. √ is the inspection item, and R is replaced. Routine maintenance can change the oil and filter. Most of the items are checked to see the wear or consumption. Everyone can understand the picture.
There are several items to draw attention to, such as brake pads, not less than 3mm, and tire wear, not less than 2mm. There are no trifles when it comes to safety, remember!
This is the detailed bill for maintenance. Of course, our basic maintenance within 4 years and 100000 kilometers is free of charge. The following picture highlights the fact that Toyota’s fuel pump recall took a short time to replace. The time of the recall: some Asian Dragon cars produced from March 5, 2019 to May 22, 2019. If the riders in the recall range, remember to replace them in time, they are all free of charge.
Finally, a reminder, when maintenance, be sure to bring two maintenance manuals, 4S in order to give you free maintenance. If you are free, you can take a look at it. The Asian Dragon’s maintenance manual has a single page of 100000 kilometers, which is free of charge for basic maintenance.
According to my current annual mileage, if I follow the annual mileage of 10,000 kilometers, I will definitely not be able to maintain 10 times in 4 years, so this maintenance of 17000 kilometers will be done. Advance maintenance does no harm to the car, plus it costs no money, so why not do it?
For maintenance, remember to take these two record books with you. I usually put it in the car.
The page of 20,000 km is used this time, and the 30,000 km page will be used next time. Up to 100000 kilometers, there is a page for every extra ten thousand kilometers.
All right, this is the end of the post. If you think it will help you, then feel free to do it.
Your encouragement is the motivation of my next post. Thank you very much!
-THE END-
