【Car owner’s home car knowledge】No matter how high or low the car maintenance cost is, as long as you buy a car, you must maintain the vehicle in a timely manner. Even if you are "reluctant" to drive the car, the maintenance cost will not only decrease but also increase due to long-term inactivity. Therefore, if you want your car to drive smoothly, you still have to do regular car maintenance.
1. Daily maintenance content
Appearance inspection:Before getting out of the car, look around the car to see whether the lighting device is damaged, whether the body is tilted, whether there are oil leaks, water leaks and other leaks; check the surface condition of the tires; check the condition of the doors, engine compartment cover, storage compartment cover and glass.

1. Daily maintenance content
Appearance inspection:Before getting out of the car, look around the car to see whether the lighting device is damaged, whether the body is tilted, whether there are oil leaks, water leaks and other leaks; check the surface condition of the tires; check the condition of the doors, engine compartment cover, storage compartment cover and glass.
Check the signaling device by turning on the ignition switch key (without starting the engine), check the lighting status of each warning light and indicator light, start the engine and check whether the warning lights are normally extinguished and whether the indicator light is still on.
Fuel check:Check the fuel gauge for instructions and replenish fuel.
2. Weekly maintenance content
Tire pressure:Check and adjust tire pressure and clean debris from tires. Don't forget to check the spare tire.
Engine and various oils:Check the fixation of various parts of the engine, check whether there is any oil or water leakage at the joint surfaces of the engine; check and adjust the tightness of the belt; check the fixation of pipelines and wires in various parts; check and replenish engine oil; check and replenish coolant; check and replenish electrolyte; check and replenish power steering oil; clean the appearance of the radiator; replenish windshield washer fluid, etc.
clean:Clean the interior of the car and wash the exterior of the car.
3. Monthly maintenance content
external inspection:Inspect the car to check for damage to light bulbs and lampshades; check the fixation of car body decorations; check the condition of the reversing mirrors.
tire:Check the tire wear and clean the luggage compartment; replace the tire when it is close to the tire wear mark, and check the tire for bulges, abnormal wear, aging cracks, and bruises.
Cleaning and waxing:Thoroughly clean the interior of the car; clean the surface of the water tank, oil radiator and air conditioning radiator from debris.
Chassis:Check the chassis for oil leakage. If traces of oil leakage are found, check the amount of gear oil in each assembly and replenish it appropriately, and perform adequate grease replenishing operations on all oil nozzles of the chassis.
other:Repeat the weekly maintenance content carefully.
4. Maintenance content every six months
engine exterior:Clean the exterior of the engine and pay attention to waterproofing the electrical parts during cleaning. If the electrical part has high waterproofing requirements, you should avoid using high-pressure and high-temperature water guns to flush the engine. You can use a brush dipped in cleaning agent to clean the engine surface.
Distributor:Use a clean rag to clean the dirt inside the distributor cover, remove dirt at the distributor contacts, eliminate contact ablation marks, check the high-speed contact gap or the magnetic pole gap of the electronic ignition system, and lubricate the lubrication points of the distributor.
Triple filter oil:Use compressed air to blow away the dust from the air filter; replace the fuel filter and clean the filter screen of the pipe joints in a timely manner; replace the engine oil and oil filter. For domestically produced vehicles, the primary oil filter, fuel pre-filter and centrifugal fine filter should also be cleaned.
battery:Check whether there is any corrosion on the battery terminals. Rinse the battery surface with hot water to remove corrosion on the battery terminals. Measure and adjust the electrolyte specific gravity of the battery.
coolant:Check and replenish coolant and clean the surface of the water tank.
Tire hub:Check the tire wear and replace the tires. Check the preloading condition of the wheel hub and bearing. If there is any gap, adjust the preloading degree.
Braking system:Check and adjust the working stroke of the hand brake lever; check and adjust the shoe clearance of the drum hand brake; check and adjust the free travel of the foot brake pedal; check the wear of the wheel brake shoes. If the wear mark is reached, replace the brake shoes; check and adjust the wheel brake shoe clearance; check and replenish brake fluid, etc.
fasten:Check the tightness of important bolts or threads of the chassis, especially the important bolts and threads of the steering system. If any loose or missing parts are found, they should be tightened.
Chassis:Check the pipeline condition of each part of the chassis to see if there is any leakage, check and tighten all metal connecting rods, and check whether the rubber bushing is damaged, and re-lubricate all lubrication points of the chassis.
light:Check and repair car lights, check and maintain refrigeration and heating devices, clean audio systems, etc.
5. Annual maintenance content
Ignition timing:Check and adjust the ignition timing of the car engine. It is best to go to a repair shop to check and adjust the fuel supply timing of the diesel engine.
valve clearance:For engines equipped with ordinary valves, the high-speed valve clearance should be checked.
Clean and Lubricate:Clean the oil stains on the engine bonnet, door and luggage compartment hinge mechanisms, readjust and lubricate the above mechanisms.
6. Maintenance content every two years
antifreeze:The general service life of antifreeze is two years. At that time, the antifreeze should be replaced during annual maintenance and the cooling system should be thoroughly cleaned.
Braking system:Due to the hygroscopic nature of the brake system, brake fluid must be changed every two years.
