Before the New Year, my wife kept saying that there was a small wrench on the dashboard of Hongjing. As soon as I said it, I knew it was time to maintain the Red Crystal again. This is a red Jingrui SCOUT version, which belongs to the cross-border version. It has a luggage rack on the roof and a small sports enclosure. The appearance is full of “sporty style”. Its 1.6 self-priming EA111 engine, equipped with a 6AT automatic manual transmission, automatic cruise, equipped with a rear-view mirror integrated driving recorder, and modified the original accessory exclusive version of the navigation and entertainment all-in-one machine. The overall configuration was at the time. Skoda reached its ultimate in the same model.


However, the journey in five years is less than 30,000 kilometers. It’s mainly for commuting to and from work, and it’s not a lot. In addition to the mineral engine oil that was first guaranteed at the beginning, I almost used fully synthetic engine oil for the next maintenance. Anyway, it was worth maintaining it once a year.

Before the New Year, I took time to do maintenance. Make an appointment on WeChat one day in advance and go directly the next day. This time, I went with Castrol’s all-protective all-synthetic engine oil I had purchased. 4 liters was enough. When I arrived at the store, I found that there were really many people. The manager said that making an appointment in the past few days was useless. There were too many people.


Fortunately, there was a work station in a short while. The person who picked up the car this time was a new master, whom I was not familiar with. At first, I found out that the machine filter he took was not the original factory. After I found out, I asked to replace the original product. Maybe non-original parts are cheap, but I believe in the quality of original parts.


Open the cover first, then lift the car and drain the oil. At the same time, the tire is tested and the tire is inflated and replenished. I specially test the tires every time I test it, because my wife never pays attention to the tires when she drives. Once she drove the car to work, she was stopped by the guard and told me that the right front tire was flat. At this time, the tire was scrapped… Another time, I found that there were three nails stuck in the left rear tire, and the air leaked after taking it down, so I went to repair the tire in time.

After draining the oil, the car lowered. Change the filter, and then add the oil. The oil color is good. During the process of adding, the oil gauge should be drawn to see how the page is. It should not be too many but not too few. It is better for the page to be above the middle of the pockmark.


Then, check that the light is fine. Clean the engine compartment. The wiring computer test is normal.


Paint treatment. Because my wife always bumps and bumps when driving, I asked the master to use paint to paint if it is not serious. Free car wash.


For this maintenance, bring your own oil. Machine filter 105. 18 yuan, working hours cost 160.01 yuan, a total of 265.19 yuan. After all, it is not bad to have free car washes before the Spring Festival. This time, I specially asked the master to set up 10,000 kilometers of maintenance based on the mileage. In the past, it was always based on the year. After maintenance, the sound of the engine will be more perfect when it is turned on!
