Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Li. After the 4S shop sells the car, it will tell the owner to come back every year for maintenance, and to maintain it on time to protect the car. But there are many car owners like my friends, who usually don't drive, and only drive once on rainy days or during the New Year's holidays, and they don't drive more than 3,000 kilometers a year. Should I do maintenance in this case?Many friends are more concerned about this kind of problem, and today Xiao Li will tell you about this problem.
First of all, I want to explain to you that the 4S shop is called 5000 kilometers or 6 months to do maintenance, sometimes it's really not for you, they want to make money is true, but it's also for your good. Because some cars themselves use the cheapest mineral oil, in the 4S shop they know the life of this oil, and they must help you change it regularly, otherwise it will lead to engine problems. Then they must want you to go back to the store and spend, right?Even if you don't maintain it in the 4S shop, the oil in the repair shop outside will be changed for 5000 kilometers or 6 months.
Some people drive ultra-short distances, and every time they start the engine before it heats up, they arrive at their destination, and they start it frequently several times a day, in which case the wear and tear of the engine will be more serious. For example, if you drive 100 kilometers a day and the engine only starts once, then the wear is a little greater when the cold start is made, and the oil is lubricated at the back, and there is basically no wear and tear. And if you drive 20 kilometers a day and start the engine 2 or 3 times, the wear and tear of the engine will be greater than if you drive 100 kilometers. So even if you only drive 3,000 kilometers a year, if you drive ultra-short distances, you still need to maintain them regularly. Impurities such as iron powder from engine wear must be in the engine oil, right?If you don't change the oil in time, you won't be able to drain the impurities together, which will cause these iron powders to circulate inside the engine and aggravate the wear and tear of the engine.
However, if you rarely drive, the distance is still relatively long each time, just like many people drive more than 1,000 kilometers back to their hometown in one breath, and drive 3,000 kilometers every year, in this case, you don't need to maintain regularly, you can appropriately extend the maintenance time a little later. Even if a good fully synthetic engine oil is opened, it can be guaranteed to be put for a year without deterioration, and some people on the Internet have done tests in order to write **, and they found that the limit use time of a good fully synthetic engine oil is basically about 600 days. This means that the engine oil can still be used when the time is up to a year, and we use a good fully synthetic engine oil, and if we only drive 3,000 kilometers a year, it can be used enough for a year or a year and a half to change the engine oil.
However, basically, few people are willing to use hundreds of dollars a bottle of engine oil, and most people use which one is cheaper, even if they use fully synthetic engine oil, they are all cheap to use. In this case, although you only drive 3,000 kilometers a year, it is recommended to change the engine oil once a year, which is not a foolish person with more money, but the normal operation of the car. I hope my explanation can help everyone, if you think my lecture is useful, don't forget to give me a thumbs up, thank you.
