Operation index: ★★★★★

The pace of life of modern people is very fast. There are many car wash shops outside. If the car is dirty, it will naturally be sent to the car wash shop to wash. Fewer and fewer people wash the car by themselves. Now the weather is getting warmer. Taking a shower in the car is also a very good thing, which can not only cultivate the sentiment, but also deepen the understanding of the car.

Master Liu said that car washing is equivalent to washing your face. Washing your face requires facial cleanser, and car washing also requires car washing liquid, so it is likened to facial cleanser. When washing the car by yourself, first clean the dust and sand on the car, and then wipe it with a clean cotton cloth or sponge dipped in water. Be sure not to wash the car with washing powder or soap. It is best to use a special car washing liquid to prevent damage. The car paint is corroded. Washing the car by yourself can take care of all the tiny corners, and the washed car is very clean.

Motor oil is a very basic thing in a car, so compare it to a lotion in skin care. It is also very simple to check the amount of engine oil. Park the vehicle on a flat place and check it before starting the vehicle. First pull out the oil dipstick, wipe it clean with a towel, and then reinsert the dipstick. After a while, take out the dipstick and observe whether the dipstick is within the normal level.

Under normal circumstances, the oil level should be between the two scale lines of the oil dipstick, or near the upper line. If the oil level is lower than the lower scale line, it means that the oil should be replenished. Observe the oil level while observing the quality of the oil. If the color of the oil is black and sticks to the oil dipstick, or if a milky white foam appears, it must be replaced in time. It is worth noting that the engine oil cannot be added too much, and cannot exceed the upper scale line.

If the antifreeze is mixed, it will cause a chemical reaction and corrode the water tank and cylinder.
