Five skills of daily maintenance of automobiles
5000 km: Change oil and filter element?
The most suitable cycle for changing the oil and filter element is every 5,000 kilometers or every 6 months, which is very important for the normal use of the car. Because with the increase of mileage, more and more metal particles will be ground out of engine oil, which will aggravate the wear of parts. In addition, metal particles, dust and colloid in engine oil will precipitate on the surface of machine parts to form sludge, which will seriously block the oil circuit, causing serious wear and ablation of machine parts and entering the overhaul period ahead of schedule.
Use special water: Do not add tap water directly.
Try to use a special water tank or use the method of mixing water tank with distilled water, but in any case, it is forbidden to add tap water directly. Because if tap water is directly injected, it is easy to produce scale on the surface of waterway, which will reduce the heat dissipation performance of automobile and corrode parts. ?
20,000 km: Change the brake oil once.
In the maintenance of vehicle braking system, it should be noted that different brands of brake oil are forbidden to be mixed, and the brake oil should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers or 12 months as far as possible.
If the brake oil is not replaced or misused for a long time, gum will be produced in the pipeline and piston, which will make the brake ineffective. ?
65438+ ten thousand kilometers: Remember to clean the fuel tank?
After long-term use or adding inferior fuel, there may be some impurities in the fuel tank. If it can't be cleaned in time, it will affect the service life of fuel pump and nozzle, and also shorten the service life of fuel filter. It is recommended to clean the fuel tank about 654.38 million kilometers. ?
In addition, whether the spark plug can provide enough ignition energy normally is also directly related to the working condition of the fuel system. Once the spark plug works badly and the fuel can't burn fully, the automobile engine will have some related fault symptoms, such as unstable idle speed and poor acceleration, which will lead to engine cylinder loss in serious cases.
Therefore, whenever the vehicle travels 20,000 kilometers, the spark plug should be inspected and replaced in time.
Periodically: clean the filter?
When replacing the air filter and the oil filter, it is easy to see the impurities produced in various uses. When replacing a new one, be sure to thoroughly remove the dust and sundries in the air cleaner housing, and check the throttle body. If it is dirty, clean it in time.
For the lubrication system, it is best to thoroughly clean the lubrication system after the engine has run for tens of thousands of kilometers and changed the oil several times.
