Car maintenance is something that every car owner should pay attention to, because proper maintenance can not only extend the service life of the car, but also improve the performance and safety of the car, save maintenance costs, and reduce the occurrence of breakdowns and accidents. So, what should you pay attention to in car maintenance?Below I will introduce you to some common sense of car maintenance and tips for daily use.
The common sense of car maintenance mainly includes the following aspects:
Liquids are regularly inspected and replaced。Liquids are an important guarantee for the operation of automobiles, including engine oil, transmission fluid, booster oil, brake fluid, antifreeze, etc. If not replaced in time, it will lead to deterioration, pollution, oxidation, and reduction of liquid substances, thereby affecting the lubrication, cooling, braking, steering and other functions of the car. Therefore, the owner should regularly inspect and replace the liquid substances according to the use of the vehicle and the manufacturer's recommendations, and keep the liquid substances clean and sufficient. In general, the oil and oil filter should be changed every 5,000 km or 6 months, the transmission oil should be changed every 60,000 to 120,000 km, the booster oil and brake fluid should be changed every 2 years or 40,000 km, and the antifreeze should be changed every 2 years or 40,000 km. 
Regularly inspect and replace filter substances。Filter elements are important components of automobile filtration and purification, including air filters, air conditioning filters, gasoline filters, etc. If not replaced in time, it will lead to blockage, damage and failure of the filter element, which will affect the normal operation of the car's air intake, air conditioning, fuel and other systems. Therefore, the owner should regularly check and replace the filter substance according to the use of the vehicle and the manufacturer's advice to keep the filter substance smooth and effective. Generally speaking, air filters and air conditioning filters should be replaced every 1 year or 10,000 km, and gasoline filters should be replaced every 2 years or 50,000 km. Regularly inspect and replace wearing parts such as spark plugs, brake pads, tires, etc。Wearing parts are the parts that are most likely to wear and damage during the use of automobiles, including spark plugs, brake pads, tires, etc. If not replaced in time, it will lead to the performance of the wearing parts, failure, and damage, which will affect the ignition, braking, driving and other functions of the car. Therefore, the owner should regularly check and replace the wearing parts according to the use of the vehicle and the manufacturer's recommendations to maintain the good condition and performance of the wearing parts. Generally speaking, the replacement cycle of spark plugs varies from 30,000 to 120,000 kilometers depending on the material, the replacement cycle of brake pads is generally about 30,000 kilometers, and the replacement cycle of tires is generally about 5 years or 80,000 kilometers. Regularly clean and maintain the car's paintwork, interior, air conditioner and other parts。The paint, interior, air conditioning and other parts of the car are an important embodiment of the appearance and comfort of the car, as well as an important embodiment of the value and image of the car. These parts can be affected by daily use and environmental factors, resulting in problems such as dirt, scratches, fading, mold, odors, etc. Therefore, car owners should regularly clean and maintain the paint, interior, air conditioning and other parts of the car according to the use of the vehicle and seasonal changes to keep the car clean and beautiful. Generally speaking, the paint surface of the car should be cleaned once a month, waxed once every six months, waxed once a year, the interior of the car should be cleaned once a month, cleaned once every six months, and the air conditioner of the car should be cleaned once a year. 
In addition to the above common sense, car owners can also master some car maintenance tips in order to better protect and use the car. Here are some tips for car maintenance:
When inspecting a car for liquids, it should be done after the engine has cooled down。Because when the engine is running, liquid substances will be affected by thermal expansion and contraction, and the liquid level will change, which is not conducive to accurate judgment. Therefore, when inspecting the car's liquids, it should be done after the engine has cooled down so that the true liquid level and liquid condition can be obtained. When replacing the filter element of the car, you should pay attention to the direction and position of the filter element。Because the filter element has a certain direction and position, if it is installed incorrectly, it will affect the working effect of the filter element, and even cause damage or blockage of the filter element. Therefore, when replacing the filter element of the car, you should pay attention to the direction and position of the filter element, and install it according to the manufacturer's instructions or the original way. When replacing the wearing parts of the car, you should pay attention to the model and specifications of the wearing parts。Because the wearing parts have certain models and specifications, if the unsuitable wearing parts are used, it will affect the performance and safety of the car, and even cause damage or failure of the wearing parts. Therefore, when replacing the wearing parts of the car, you should pay attention to the model and specifications of the wearing parts, and select and install them according to the manufacturer's recommendation or the original way. 
When cleaning and maintaining parts of the car, such as paint, interior, air conditioner, etc., special cleaning agents and tools should be used。Because the paint, interior, air conditioning and other parts of the car have certain materials and characteristics, if you use unsuitable cleaners and tools, it will affect the cleaning effect of the car, and even cause damage or corrosion of the car. Therefore, when cleaning and maintaining the paint, interior, air conditioner and other parts of the car, you should use special detergents and tools to clean and maintain it according to the manufacturer's instructions or in the original way.
