A little knowledge of car maintenance can prolong the life of your car!

These tips on car maintenance can prolong the life of your car.

Refueling misunderstanding

Don't pursue high-standard oil excessively. Don't think that the more expensive the oil, the better. On the contrary, you should choose the engine oil that meets your own logo to better maintain the engine.

If the engine oil that does not meet the automobile label is used for a long time, it may lead to an increase in fuel consumption and engine damage. When you refuel, don't just add half a tank of oil. Fill the oil immediately after the oil meter light is on, because the light shows that there is little oil. If it continues to be used, the upper part of the fuel pump in the fuel tank will not be cooled by the fuel, which will affect the heat dissipation of the fuel pump, lead to hot combustion and shorten the service life. The cost of replacing the fuel pump is quite high.

Don't fill the tank too full, it will damage the carbon tank and even cause danger. Be sure to go to a regular gas station to refuel. Try not to go to small gas stations. No security!

Use and replacement of antifreeze

Many people know little about antifreeze, others think antifreeze is only used in winter. As long as the car doesn't need antifreeze, there is no need to add antifreeze. In fact, the full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, which also plays the role of heat dissipation and lubrication, and can ensure the normal working temperature of automobile engines. Under the condition of continuous operation, the automobile engine will produce high temperature. Long-term operation will accelerate the wear of internal parts of the engine and make the oil deteriorate. Adding antifreeze into the water tank can not only prevent freezing, but also prevent rust and scale, inhibit the generation of foam, eliminate air resistance, inhibit pitting and cavitation of aluminum parts, and ensure the normal operation of the water pump. Pay attention to adding antifreeze here, and don't try to add cheap and inferior antifreeze, which will damage the vehicle. The shelf life of antifreeze is two years, so it is usually replaced once every two years, about 40 thousand to 60 thousand kilometers.

Importance of dashboard

For people who don't understand cars, the contents on the dashboard of cars are a bit confusing. After a detailed understanding, you will find that it is actually very simple. For example, the fuel gauge shows the remaining fuel tank of the car, and the water temperature gauge is used to detect the temperature of the engine coolant. If the temperature is too high, it needs immediate treatment. There are also oil pressure warning lights and water temperature warning lights. During driving, you will also check the speed and mileage of the car through the dashboard. Many times, the car doesn't catch fire, just look at the dashboard. The dashboard is a way for drivers to understand the driving state of the car more intuitively, so careful care is very necessary.

Tire pressure monitoring

More and more people own cars in modern times. People pay more and more attention to driving safety, and tire pressure monitoring is also paid more and more attention. More than 70% of high-speed traffic accidents are caused by tire problems. Tire pressure is a direct factor affecting the running quality and service life of tires. Maintaining normal tire pressure is very important for driving safety and fuel economy. Proper tire pressure can also ensure the grip of the vehicle. If the tire pressure value is not adjusted properly, it may aggravate tire wear and increase fuel consumption, which is very dangerous when driving. Today, most cars are equipped with tire pressure monitoring devices. Without this function, try to check the tires every 5000 kilometers, including tire pressure, tire wear or bulging and braking, and you can also assemble a tire pressure monitoring device.

Three filters for replacing cars

Automobile three filters refer to air filters, oil filters and gasoline filters, and their main functions are to purify and keep clean immediately, and to clean and improve the interior of automobile bodies.

The air filter is to ensure that the air entering the engine is clean. The air must be filtered before entering the cylinder to remove impurities, dust, sand and other foreign bodies. A dirty air filter will prevent fresh air from entering the cylinder, thus affecting the mixing ratio of air and gasoline.

The function of gasoline filter is to ensure the cleanliness of fuel and prevent air resistance. If the gasoline filter is blocked, the resistance of the filter element will increase and the gasoline flow will be unstable, which will lead to the increase of the oil level in the filter and make it difficult for the car to start. When you step on the accelerator, the power will gradually increase.

The oil filter is the most important of the three filters. It filters engine oil to filter dust and ensure the normal operation of the engine. After the filter element is used for a period of time, there will be a lot of dust attached to the filter element. Therefore, the filter should be replaced regularly. Generally speaking, the oil filter and oil should be replaced at the same time, which is beneficial to prolong the service life of the engine.
