In the blink of an eye, the car has been in its fifth year, and it has completed its fifth maintenance. Many may think it is very strange. What maintenance cycle is this? The car has only been 12000 kilometers until now. Because it has not been driven much, it is also carried out. Maintenance is based on time. Here, I want to exchange some knowledge with you.
Regarding the maintenance cycle of the car:
The car maintenance cycle is divided into mileage and time. Why is the car maintenance cycle divided into maintenance time and maintenance kilometers? We all know in the car manual that the first maintenance is generally 3000 kilometers or half a year, and of course it is also 5000 kilometers or 1 year. These two situations are relatively common. As long as one of the above conditions is met, maintenance is needed. Putting aside the special situation of the first guarantee, the maintenance period after the first guarantee is 5000 kilometers or 1 year, so why do we need to separate the two conditions? Let’s talk about the number of maintenance kilometers first. We all know that oil, brake fluid, brake pads, glass water, etc., etc., and various parts or supplies will be consumed and aged during driving.

I have been to a not-so-small shop in front of my home twice. This time, I went for a simple inspection and maintenance, and it was put on the shelves directly.

Let’s talk about the concept of maintenance here. We know what everything is
What is maintenance?
Vehicle maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting or replacing certain parts of the vehicle.
The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean and tidy, the technical condition is normal, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.
Our popular maintenance understanding is to replace consumables such as oil filters and check the technical status of the vehicle.

Oil draining, regular project.

The oil I brought was delivered by a good brother’s repair shop last time. There are only 3 bottles left

I also brought some black diamonds to make up for the money. In fact, I lost money. When I used the black diamond at Tiguan, I found that it was half a liter short. I bought it at a Volkswagen mall. I might as well buy this oil directly. I checked up dozens of yuan for this oil.

Start draining oil
Warm reminder:
There must be formal channels for the use of engine oil, and do not use engine oil of unknown origin. Currently, this market is very deep. If there is no channel, it is recommended to buy it from a shopping mall for reliable quality. Especially for this kind of foreign-language engine oil, according to industry insiders, it is basically too reliable and not fake, but the oil is not that good.

Add engine oil, and the color of the oil is still good.

Check the air filter and the filter feels good. After all, the car environment is very good.

The air conditioning filter element is no longer working, but it is still a little expensive in the store, so I didn’t replace it. After all, I can replace it myself. Prepare to buy online and do it yourself.

Regarding this maintenance, I only carried out a minor maintenance. After all, the vehicle mileage is not much, so there are not many replacements that need to be replaced. The safety inspection company only carried out a partial inspection. There are still a few coupons on my car for comprehensive inspection. It can be carried out in the store at any time.

Record the mileage
Write at the end:
I personally recommend doing this kind of store maintenance with a slight understanding of vehicles and strong hands-on research ability. Otherwise, I still recommend 4S. After all, it is professional, but don’t over-maintain it, because many projects do not need to follow the manual so strictly. After all, the environment and methods of using vehicles have a great impact.
