Today, my car has exceeded 18km! I recall that the first time I changed the oil for my car was 5000 kilometers, and when I was insured, it was 10, 000 kilometers. Now, looking at the kilometer meter, I began to get a little flustered. It’s time to give your car a good maintenance!
Let’s make it clear here, why change the oil at this time? First, there is usually no time, take advantage of the National Day holiday happens to have time to maintain. The second is to challenge whether there is a problem with the maintenance of 7000 kilometers (as a result, it was delayed to 8000 kilometers because there was no time). For many car lovers, it is the best performance to change the engine filter to change the engine filter as required by the manufacturer to drive about 5000 kilometers. Of course, many car lovers who understand cars do not change according to rigid standards. The cycle of their maintenance and replacement of oil and oil filters is determined according to the type of oil used. For example, mineral oil is usually replaced for half a year or 5000 km, semi-synthetic oil for half a year or 7000 km, and total synthetic oil for half a year or 10000 km. Of course, Tuguan L changes the most suitable winning brand 5W-30 full synthetic oil (if you don’t know it, you can do it).
In order to save the money to change the oil for my car next time and the time to maintain my car next time, I boldly became a white mouse in order to verify whether the advertisement for oil for Shengpai turbocharged engine is true (10000 km oil change cycle). The total synthetic engine oil of Sheng Brand 5W-30 is selected. Remember! Remember! Don’t try to choose mineral oil cheaply! You don’t have to experience it, there are real examples around you, after using mineral oil. It is more likely to cause engine wear, power decline, serious carbon accumulation and so on. So it’s really important to use a reliable all-synthetic oil for your car!
The second insurance of my car uses semi-synthetic oil. Under normal circumstances, 7000 km replacement is the limit. It was not replaced until 8000 kilometers. I blamed myself for being too careless and not paying attention to the mileage from time to time. At this point, the majority of cyclists must not be as rough as I am! All right, needless to say, the following pictures and texts explain how to change oil and filter tutorials to share with you! After the car is out of insurance, I am not willing to spend money on maintenance, so I have a skill to change the oil and filter by myself.
The disposable steering wheel cover and seat cover are put on before entering the maintenance workshop.
The main purpose is to prevent the mechanic from sticking oil stains on the car.
Park the car in the maintenance station and get ready to start work.
The mechanic said that the air filter element was not very dirty, so he blew it and saved a hundred yuan.
The filter element of the air conditioner is a little dirty, and I pay more attention to the air hygiene in the car, so I changed it.
Instead of PM2.5 activated carbon air filter element for the car to have a good air environment.
The mechanic carries out the operation of replacing the filter element of the air conditioner.
This is for the mechanic to replace the filter element. The oil filter element of Tuguan L does not have to lift the car on it, which is very convenient and fast.
And now the engine oil does not have to put oil from the oil pan, it is pumped from the oil dipper hole, and you can see that the oil extracted is really too dark.
The mechanic was afraid that the tubing would fall off and pop up, so he specially fixed it with his hands and gave them a compliment.
Start to add oil, because this time I add Sheng brand all-synthetic oil can do maintenance later next time, specifically, use cheap oil to do more maintenance, cost-effective or use good oil to do less maintenance, waiting for time to verify.
Since the oil cannot be increased or decreased, the mechanic has gone through three additional measurements before and after.
After filling the engine oil, the mechanic cleaned the engine compartment. This is an uncleaned photo.
This has been cleaned, except for the obvious good cleaning place, other places have not been cleaned up, but the engine cabin will be dirty and greasy after a long time, it doesn’t matter.
Finally, the mechanic measured the tire pressure and added it, and the maintenance was over.
