A record of the maintenance of a car for 20,000 kilometers

The car was purchased in September 1999, and it had only traveled 3800 kilometers in January 2020. Because it was 1400 kilometers back to my hometown, the first insurance was made in advance. The journey home, plus the journey here, reached 10,600 kilometers in May of 2020. Two maintenance sessions were carried out in just four months, because the first insurance is the basic oil used., which is free oil, so the oil needs to be replaced after 5000 kilometers. Seeing that the riders all used fully synthetic engine oil after the first warranty, which could extend the maintenance time, so I replaced it with fully synthetic engine oil during the second warranty. Because fully synthetic engine oil can not only delay the time of using the car, but also provide better protection to the engine. It is suitable for motorists who commute about 1000 kilometers per month, so that they can be maintained once a year and save time. You don’t have to go to 4S stores frequently.

Yes, it is 2:00 p.m. If riders make an appointment for maintenance, they can make an appointment in the afternoon, because there are more people in the morning.

The maintenance boy has already brought the materials over. There is the selected fully synthetic engine oil, machine filter, oil drain screws and air filter element. The air filter element was taken wrong when I first brought it over, and then brought it back.

It feels like my 20,000-kilometer engine compartment is not as clean as Sister Wen’s 270,000-kilometer engine compartment.

This maintenance boy is from Xinyang and I are still fellow villagers.

Drain off waste engine oil.

While draining the oil, my brother was helping me replenish the tire pressure.

Remove the oil filter element and prepare for a new one.

Check the condition of the chassis and tires. The wheel hub was accidentally knocked down once in my hometown. The master told me that as long as you pay attention to the tires and don’t bulge it.

The back of the engine guard was also smashed, but the impact was not big. You can replace it when you come for maintenance next time. The engine guard costs 148 yuan.

Two maintenance masters simultaneously operate one to replace new engine oil and the other to replace the air filter element. To replace the air filter element, you only need to remove the nine screws on the air grid cover without taking them off, and then directly take out the old filter element and put the new one in.

I originally wanted to take photos of the inside of the air compartment, but who knew that my brother’s actions were too fast and it was over in less than 2 minutes.

This is an old air filter element that was replaced. You can see that the middle is dirty and the sides are still very clean.

Finally, I was going to replenish glass water. Because the weather in Guangdong is still very hot, I just added tap water directly. This maintenance cost 748 yuan, and there is also a maintenance deduction ticket of 88 and a 25% discount. The air filter element deduction ticket is deducted by 106. So it’s 642 yuan.
