Car maintenance can be more than changing oil!
Many people want to change the oil and air filter when maintaining their cars, but there are several maintenance places that you may not be so familiar with. I look forward to telling you clearly about maintenance today!
throttle valve
Speaking of throttle, many car owners may not even know what it looks like. After all, cleaning the throttle really doesn't require frequent maintenance. Simply put, the throttle is like a human respiratory tract, and air needs to be introduced into the lungs through breathing every day. If the accelerator of a car is used for a long time, it is easy to be blocked by carbon deposition, which will easily cause various problems of the engine, such as engine jitter at idle speed, difficulty in ignition, untimely response of the accelerator when driving, increased fuel consumption of the car, and it is also common to step on the accelerator with one foot.
It is very normal for the throttle to produce carbon deposit, mainly because the air filter failed to completely filter the dust and let it enter the throttle. Secondly, the gasoline is not fully burned, and the residual impurities are attached to the throttle valve, forming carbon deposits with the increase of time.
The suggestion of replacing the car throttle is to clean or replace it every 30 thousand kilometers. This kind of maintenance is only needed because of the long mileage, so you should remember that it can be maintained naturally when it reaches 30 thousand kilometers.
braking system
The maintenance of brake system is generally divided into replacing brake fluid and brake pads.
In daily maintenance, the importance of the brake system is self-evident. Brake oil is generally changed every 40 thousand kilometers or two years. This mileage is also easily overlooked by most car owners. After all, it takes a long time to find anomalies.
As for the replacement of brake pads, it is more from the driver's actual driving experience. If the braking performance is obviously attenuated or the brakes creak, you can consider replacing the brake pads. There is no fixed cycle for the replacement of this kind of consumables, which will be known only after inspection.
lube oil
Transmission oil, I think if the owner has the habit of playing racing cars off the track, he will know the true meaning of transmission oil. The function of gearbox oil is to provide lubrication and cooling when the gearbox is running, and its function is self-evident.
Know what is more important? The maintenance cost of the gearbox is extremely high. If it's really broken, basically ordinary repair shops can't do a good job of maintenance, and going back to a 4S shop will be ridiculously expensive. Even if it is repaired, it is difficult for the gearbox to return to its best condition, which will compromise the performance of your car and make the importance of gearbox oil better understood.
It's best to go back to the 4S shop to change the gearbox oil. After all, they can provide more professional services. The recommended mileage for manual gearbox replacement is100000 km, and the automatic gearbox can be replaced after 60000 km. Don't miss the maintenance mileage, or the gearbox will suffer.
Have you remembered the above three maintenance contents?
