bought a car, the expenses related to the car have also increased. Some friends have a short distance to work and the road is congested, so they simply stop driving. After a year, the mileage is less than 5,000 kilometers. How can I maintain the car if I drive less?
>>The number of kilometers is not enough, but when the time is up, the
car warranty manual has such a sentence, the vehicle is regularly maintained for 5000km/6 months (according to the last maintenance), whichever comes first. In this case, if the number of kilometers has not been reached and the time has come, then it must be calculated by time.
Although the car is driven less, various oils and consumable parts also have a replacement cycle, which will gradually age over time and performance will decline.
>>Oil filter regular maintenance
First of all, we have to talk about the oil filter, the consumables that must be replaced every time maintenance. Engine oil can not only play a role in lubricating the engine, but also contains antioxidants and detergents to provide more protection for the engine. These additives will slowly decompose even if the car does not drive. The mileage of
is small but the time is up. Even if the oil still has a lubricating effect, the clean and anti-oxidant effect can no longer play its normal role, and the protection of the engine is greatly reduced. The
machine filter is also the same. In addition to the specially marked long-term machine filter, the ordinary machine filter is also time-effective. Even if it is soaked in new engine oil, the filter performance will be greatly reduced when the time is up.
>>Battery prevents aging and loss of electricity
Now the vehicle configuration is relatively rich, if you don’t use these configurations, it will inevitably consume power. When the car is driven less, the battery cannot be replenished, and the battery loses power over time, which makes it a headache.
The battery is easily overlooked when the car is driven less. If you regularly maintain it, the master can also check whether there is a power loss, and the battery can be maintained if the voltage is not enough.
>>Brake fluid and coolant need to pay attention to the replacement cycle.
The original brake fluid and coolant are relatively poor in timeliness. The general maintenance manual states 40,000 kilometers or two years to replace, two years Even after driving 10,000 kilometers, the performance limit of these oils has dropped. Further extension of
, spark plugs, filter elements, engine belts, gearbox oil, brake pads, tires and other vulnerable and consumable parts have different timeliness. Even if the car is not used frequently, these fragile and consumable parts will gradually deteriorate over time. This is like opening a can, even if it is left there and not eaten, it will go bad after a long time, right?
>>The car within the warranty period should be maintained in accordance with the 4S shop (or warranty manual) requirements. If the car is still within the warranty period, it must be maintained in accordance with the 4S shop’s requirements. Regardless of whether the number of kilometers is reached or not, even if only one kilometer is driven, as long as the time is up, you have to pass honestly. If the car is not maintained as required and there is a problem with the car, the 4S shop will also find an excuse not to give the warranty.
Even though the country has a three-guarantee policy and states that maintenance is not required at the dealer, it is actually very difficult to implement. There is no such reason and energy, and the cost of protecting rights is too high.
>>After the warranty period of the car, maintenance can be replaced with longer consumables
After the warranty period, the car is driven less, can I not perform regular maintenance according to the warranty manual? Yes, of course, but it is only recommended to choose consumable parts with longer timeliness during maintenance.
For example, the engine oil can be fully synthetic, the filter can be replaced with long-lasting, and the battery and other consumable parts can be selected with better brand quality. Not only is the time period longer, but it can also protect the vehicle, and the effect may be better. For us, it can be said to save money and worry.
That said so much, in fact, it can be summed up in one sentence: the car during the warranty period is regularly maintained in accordance with the warranty manual. The maintenance of the car outside the warranty period is recommended to replace the consumable parts with long timeliness. Otherwise, even if the car is driven less, It also requires regular maintenance.
