# maintenance # Weekly Chronicle of Tile Tank Life week _ 14 _ experience share several major problems faced by your DIY engine oil change

Automobile minor maintenance mainly refers to the replacement of engine oil, and the price of minor maintenance is roughly as follows
Joint venture Class A car 10-150000 guidance price: 500,600RMB semi-synthetic
Joint venture Class B car 17-250000 guidance price: 700,900yuan full synthesis
Joint venture Class C car 27-350000 guidance price: 1000-1200 yuan full synthesis

It can be seen that the performance-to-price ratio of the maintenance cost of more than 300000 is not high, and often the strong economic ability of these car owners also leads to insensitivity to the price, of course, the reason that it is expensive, the service quality of the customer area and the level of catering can be reflected.
For example, you can understand why it is so expensive for a distinguished Porsche owner to disassemble a tire. How do people protect the wheels?
And the body panels of luxury cars basically do not make sheet metal, but directly replace new parts, and so on.
In short, money has an inborn attribute-self-willed!

Back to the salaried class of the masses, their own maintenance is sure to choose all-synthetic oil, and the label is recommended by manufacturers, such as 5W40, which is the most widely used in German cars, and it is also the most cost-effective one on the market.
Several major problems faced by myself in changing the oil, I would like to talk about my views: (it is stated that the following is purely a personal assumption for reference.)

1. What brand of oil do you choose?
The first choice is the brand used by the original factory, for example, imported Volkswagen Maiteng uses Castrol in the 4S store. Castrol logo is printed on your refueling lid. You product this advertisement, right? Of course, many 4S stores in China use Kunlun or other brand OEM, and the outer packaging is xx original high-grade engine oil. In that case, it is recommended to choose products with a high market share in the market, because the market price is stable, the purchase channel is convenient, and it is convenient for long-term use.

two。 Where can I buy oil from?
Since the choice of high market acceptance rate of oil, natural counterfeiting is also the most, 4L 5w40 gray shell online retail prices vary from 50 to more than 300, less than 100 yuan still have a large sales volume, you think, if the store really has channels to buy a large number of real goods below the market average price, then why not do wholesale? Instead of spending money to find someone to do online retail? In addition, when it comes to retail costs, whether from pre-sale after-sales service or logistics and warehousing expenses, small-scale individual online retail buyers can not compete with chain platforms, such as JD.com, Tmall, SUNING, especially double 11 and 618. the purchasing price reduction and payment strength of platform giants are not comparable to those of downstream retail shrimp at all.
Therefore, I have always chosen to buy oil on a large platform, and the price has an advantage. Secondly, to say that the goods are real, anyway, I can only say that the purchase channel of the big platform is more reliable than the small platform, do not be superstitious what flavor? What degree of transparency? And a test strip test? (the test strip test allows you to compare the oil, or look at the attenuation). In short, do not underestimate the level of the domestic oil counterfeiting industry chain. Ask the owner of the express repair shop whether he knows how to identify the oil. I have a relative who runs a quick repair shop, and now he mainly promotes Total products, because the market is small and there are few fake goods. As a boss, it mainly depends on whether the supply channel is reliable.
Another option is to buy overseas engine oil, of course, the channel is also very critical, by the way, we will go abroad to see the price of retail engine oil in large shopping supermarkets, which will definitely surprise you!

Forget to add, anti-counterfeiting query label, just take a look, just like CET-4 and CET-6 certificate, no description is bad, some words do not mean foolproof.
These things are bought with money from sales channels, and manufacturers are generally not responsible for sales, just like hanging a bra for hairy crabs and a label for Apple. It’s purely a marketing tool!

3. How do I change the oil myself?
Tools are available online, but there are no more than two, either changing gravity from the oil drain or pumping oil from the pipe of the oil gauge.
Most luxury cars seem to have electronic oil level sensors and no oil ruler, but I feel that few BBA owners change the oil themselves.
I personally suggest that the way of pumping oil is very convenient, according to how much L oil is pumped to judge whether it is clean or not, of course, it is impossible to give off all the light.

There’s nothing else to say. To be honest, if I didn’t like to mess with my car, I would still go to the 4S store to maintain it.
You can think clearly, if you don’t change the oil in the 4S store during the guarantee period, the powertrain will be out of insurance.
