Send away the warm autumn day, I do not know when one night autumn rain let people located in the southwest town wear long johns, an autumn rain a cold, this winter is really coming! My old friend has followed me for almost ten years. Although he has changed his car, Lechi has been reluctant to retire because of its small, flexible and low fuel consumption. It is also a good choice to leave it at home for his family. Lexi has been working conscientiously for so many years to use the car for maintenance in winter. In addition to replacing engine oil with good low temperature fluidity in winter, it is also necessary to check and replenish wiper water, coolant and brake fluid. At the same time, check the horn, vehicle lighting, air conditioning system, pay special attention to the car shoes-tires, check the four-wheel tread depth and wear, brake pads check for abnormalities, and so on. In terms of driving, because there are more Rain Water in the south, more attention should be paid to the replacement of wipers when necessary. the weather is cold in winter. I am worried that Lechi can’t catch fire. I found that the car’s battery had a drum phenomenon in summer. I plan to replace the 4S when I plan to maintain it in winter this time.

Lechi for almost ten years, because it is metal car paint from a distance or very pleasing to the eye, I don’t think it’s too old! There is no snow in the south! But the rainy season is more, usually do not need to take care of, just wash the car in a week or so, get up in the morning to wipe the front and rear gear will be normal to use the car. Time is fast! Ten years later, Lechi is still cute, except that there are a lot of scratches on the front bumper, but everything else is still normal.

Winter car or open the hood in the morning, check to see if all kinds of oil pots are missing! Sometimes check to see if the oil is blackened and so on.

Use the car all the year round, there is already a lot of dust, visually check to see if there is leakage in all kinds of oil kettles.

At present, Lechi has used more than 90,000 kilometers of cars, and it is almost half a year since the last maintenance, and it is time to carry out routine maintenance in winter. Maintenance at the station begins! There are a lot of maintenance items this time, including 4 rounds of maintenance, replacement of batteries, and replacement of some damaged parts in addition to conventional oil and filter replacement.

Almost every maintenance to change SAIC GM Wuling oil, this car I do not bother to think about other oil, only suitable oil on it. The original factory machine filter, in 4S maintenance, that is, the original factory parts are more at ease, Lechi has been in this 4S maintenance, the price and service has been very close to the people.

Replace the air filter element, do not remember how long I have not changed the filter element! I just blew it every time before, but this time the maintenance has been changed together.

Need to replace the battery has been sent, are the original factory packaging are Shangtong five logo logo, it is said that the camel brand opened to see.

Camel brand battery is no doubt, camel battery is one of the top ten automotive batteries, export OEM various European and American standards is an old brand.

Open the air filter sleeve! It’s really dirty, which means I’ve been running for a long time!

The sheath of the gear lever really can’t stand the appearance of peeling, and it was changed together by the way!

Installing this file handle sheath looks simple, but it takes a lot of effort.

The old battery removed before was replaced in the roadside shop. Now the drum bag is laid off.

This is an old filter element removed, and the color of the frame has begun to fade and it is estimated that it has not been replaced for a long time.

The young master installs the battery very seriously. generally, the service life of the original battery is 3 to 4 years. If you feel that the battery cannot be charged or can’t start a fire, you need to consider replacing the battery, especially in winter.

When the master was messing with the wire pile, I found that the connection was a little rusty. Since the battery was replaced, this place seldom touched it, and it was natural to rust.

After the battery is installed, the master uses the instrument to test whether the power supply is normal.

The battery has been installed, and the next step is to raise the car and change the oil. Lechi put oil on the shelf, while there is time to check the chassis to see that a small bump is inevitable, the bottom has been found to be some rust, feeling is not particularly serious.

The Jiatong tire of the rear wheel is still quite reliable, although the tread pattern is still very deep and there are some slight cracks, which have been changed together after a while. In winter, engine oil must be changed into oil with good fluidity, especially in the north, which has good fluidity, keeps the engine viscous and does not decompose, and is easy to flow and not condense in cold weather. In the south, it is OK to use four seasons oil 5W-30.
In short, winter car maintenance must be careful, first: in rainy weather must check the wiper, to see if there is cracking or scraping is not clean, because it will affect the safety of driving. Second: in winter, we should regularly check whether the water tanks, water pumps and belts, water pipes, water replenishment tanks and other components are working properly. If there is damage or failure, it is best to repair or replace them in time. Third: air-conditioning system in the summer put a summer, there are often failures, it is best to first try whether there is no hot air, fan operation is abnormal, whether the air duct is unobstructed. Fourth: antifreeze check whether there is a lack of liquid, whether there is deterioration, if necessary, timely supplement or replacement. Five: check the oil label for low temperature, lack or deterioration. Fifth: the chassis and tires should be checked to see if there is any damage and timely repair, it is recommended to repair according to the specific maintenance of their own models.
