The so-called maintenance means to maintain and maintain! Keep the vehicle in good working condition through good use habits. Maintenance is to keep the vehicle in good working condition through inspection, adjustment, fastening, lubrication, replacement and other operations.
For any car, with the increase of age and mileage, the fastening parts will be loosened, and the clearance of each part will increase due to wear, and all kinds of vehicle protective fluids, such as oil, transmission oil, coolant and so on, will coke, scale, deteriorate and fail, and these vehicle protective fluids, just like human blood, directly provide necessary “nutrition” for all parts of the car, such as not replaced in time. It will affect the normal work and service life of the car.
Coupled with the current deterioration of the traffic environment. The crowded roads of the city. Slow stop-and-go is the worst thing for the engine and the oil. This situation is most likely to produce sludge. Causes the engine oil rapid deterioration, causes the automobile to increase the speed to be unable, the fuel consumption increases, the noise increases, the handling performance reduces and so on. Therefore, it is very important to regularly replace all kinds of vehicle protective fluid and regularly inspect, adjust, fasten and lubricate the various parts of the vehicle. If you do not pay attention to maintenance at ordinary times, the result of repairs when the car breaks down can only be time-consuming, laborious and costly.
Now some car owners usually say that the car is used less and do not need maintenance, and it is recommended that the car owner maintain at least once every six months. On the one hand, the oil will go bad if it is used for a long time. In addition, there is a lot of slow driving in urban areas, the mileage does not seem to be much, but in fact, the work burden of the engine is not small. Maintain and test the car on time to keep the vehicle in good condition, which can reduce the maintenance cost in the later stage. If the oil is not changed for a long time, not only the oil will deteriorate, but also there will be a lot of impurities. If the engine “stirs” while the engine is running, the mechanical wear will be greater, and even cause internal damage to the engine.
The role of oil is nothing more than lubrication and friction reduction, there will be friction between parts, wear will wear with the passage of time. Oil can help reduce friction between parts. It is rustproof and anticorrosive and is a buffer buffer. When the pressure on the engine cylinder head rises sharply, the load on the piston, piston chips, connecting rod and crankshaft bearings is very large. The load is transmitted and lubricated by the bearing, which makes the load bear the cushioning effect.
Engine oil is the most critical medium for carbon deposition, especially fake oil and low-quality oil. Adding this kind of oil to your car will not only produce a lot of carbon accumulation, but also damage the internal parts of the engine because of poor lubrication. If carbon accumulation will bring many faults, such as: cold car is difficult to start, engine shaking, engine weakness, increased fuel consumption, exhaust emissions exceed the standard and other unfavorable phenomena.
Oil filter element: in order to reduce the friction resistance between the relative moving parts in the engine and reduce the wear of the parts, the oil is continuously transported to the friction surface of the moving parts to form a lubricating oil film for lubrication. The engine oil itself contains a certain amount of colloid, impurities, water and additives. At the same time, in the working process of the engine, the introduction of metal debris, the entry of sundries in the air and the production of oil oxides make the sundries in the engine oil gradually increase. If the oil enters the lubricating oil directly without being filtered, the sundries contained in the oil will be brought into the friction surface of the motion pair, which will accelerate the wear of the parts and reduce the service life of the engine.
The function of the air filter is to filter the impurities in the air. If these impurities burn directly into the engine cylinder, the engine will wear out quickly, so it will be a “short life”. It is recommended that the longest time should not be more than half a year, or 1W km.
If it is not replaced in time, there will be a lot of impurities on the filter element. The intake resistance will certainly be greatly increased, which will make the engine run worse and consume more fuel.
Air conditioning, it must come out of the air outside, so we must make sure that there is no smell in the fresh air and in the car. Generally speaking, the air conditioning filter can filter impurities, pollen, smell, moisture, etc., to protect the car from nourishing a large number of bacteria.
If it is not replaced for a long time, just like the air filter element, the air intake will certainly be reduced. The important thing is to breed bacteria, make cars smell bad, and produce a lot of bacteria!
What is really harmful to the vehicle is parking for a long time. It is true that “the car will not break down after driving for a long time”. If it is not opened for a long time, it may lead to oil leakage, because the engine is not cast as a whole. the joints are mostly sealed with polymer gaskets, which need oil lubrication and periodic movement while the engine is running to avoid stress concentration in a few locations. The stress caused by parking causes some of the gaskets to slowly deform, and then there will be an oil leak, which will not be faced with a bottle of a few hundred yuan of oil, but the bill for overhaul.
If you want to avoid the continuous problem of minor defects in the vehicle, maintenance can improve the performance of the whole vehicle, and the minor defects can also be found and dealt with in time.
To take good care of your car is to protect yourself, to protect yourself, to be able to protect others, and to take your family and children to see a bluer sky and a more beautiful scene! Live a more comfortable life.
