 September 9, 2024

Sunday afternoon idle thinking about whether to go to 4S for maintenance, see the mileage is still a little small, but half a year has passed, the recent epidemic does not use cars, the opportunity to travel is not much, the farthest distance is within 100km, normally my mileage of 11118 kilometers should be the mileage just finished the first insurance, but because the car is not used very frequently This is my fourth time to do maintenance, the kilometer is not much, so it is still based on basic maintenance, free of charge. Motorists who drive less mileage are basically controlled to maintain within 6 months. Generally speaking, family cars run 10 to 20, 000 kilometers a year, so it is the best choice to go half a year according to the maintenance manual.

There are really many cars for scheduled maintenance and non-scheduled maintenance on Sunday afternoon. I have almost ranked tenth, because I arrived at 4S after 2 o’clock. It is estimated that when the maintenance is finished, it should be around 4 o’clock. I briefly told the receptionist the main purpose of coming today, as well as some attention points.
It should take a long time to wait for my own maintenance, so I had a drink of mugi-cha in the rest hall. Of course, there are many kinds of drinks offered here, but I still prefer mugi-cha. A lot of people came to see the car in the exhibition hall today.
I belong to the kind of character that can not sit still. After drinking a few sips of tea, I rushed to the door of the maintenance workshop to have a look. The motorcade is very long. There are small brands of booking that can be booked at the VIP workshop. In the future, remember to make an appointment before maintenance, which can save a lot of time, especially when there are many people on holidays.
Finally, it was my turn to maintain. After looking at the time at more than 3 o’clock, my friend asked me out to play. It seems that it is too late. Maintenance plus car washing should be completed at about 4 o’clock. The operation of the maintenance master is still relatively slippery. I prefer to look at the on-site maintenance. Look at every detail, so I feel more at ease.

The oil released this time is a little black, but it looks like it can drive thousands of kilometers. Normally, it is appropriate to drive the oil of 0W-20 up to 10,000 kilometers.

While releasing the machine oil, the maintenance master checked the tire pressure and tread by the way. The tire pressure of all four wheels was calibrated to 250, and the cold tire pressure was 240 to 250 in winter.


Today is also the 4S store organized a safety maintenance class, a group of car owners wearing yellow helmets came to learn vehicle maintenance knowledge, it is estimated that the most useful is that female drivers learn to change spare tires.

Our Asian dragon’s car is a start-up battery, which is different from the non-start-stop car we used to drive. The price of the start-stop battery is higher than that of the ordinary battery, and the battery that has been tested for less than 2 years is still in good condition. I don’t think it’s a problem to be in use for the last three years.

The air filter has already been changed last time, and this time it is still quite clean, so let the master blow without replacement, saving a sum of expenses. the air conditioning filter element has not been changed since the car has been lifted, and it is gray directly when it is taken out, and there is a lot of dust on it. I have exchanged this filter element in Toyota activities before, and this time it happened to be changed together when the master checked it. It was perfect.

Finally, check the lights and clean the engine room, the dust stored for half a year is finally washed clean by this air pressure water gun, it feels good to take on a new look, this is also a free project, there is no extra charge.
Finally, there is a free car wash. Since many Toyota dealerships upgraded their car wash systems, the cleanliness of the car wash is comparable to that of the car wash outside, but every car owner has a chance to wash his car for free once a month. It’s not impossible to wash your car once in a while, anyway, it depends on your mouth.
If you have maintenance problems or maintenance suggestions, you can also leave a message to communicate with you.
