Automobile maintenance skills

Cars really facilitate people's lives, but they also make many car owners who don't understand cars feel that car beauty and maintenance are very troublesome. Actually, it is not. Although car beauty maintenance takes time, if the owner finds the right method and chooses the right project, he can be a lazy owner and keep the car beautiful and good performance. Here are eight car beauty maintenance skills to help car owners easily maintain their cars.

1. Protect the car paint with car paint instead of waxing and sealing the glaze.

Protecting car paint is an automobile beauty project that middle and high-end car owners pay more and more attention to. Waxing and sealing glaze is a waste of time. Automobile painting is an automobile beauty project that gradually replaces waxing and glaze sealing. Painting can completely seal the car paint, forming a film layer with hardness 3-8 times higher than that of the car paint on the car body, ensuring that the car paint will not be oxidized and corroded, and avoiding slight scratches. The warranty period of car painting can reach 2-5 years, and intermediate car owners can protect the car paint as long as they wash the car. In addition, internal cleaning and disinfection can be done once every three months. Go to a professional car beauty shop to clean the interior and apply protective polish to keep the car feeling like a new car.

2. Simple components can be replaced by themselves.

Wipers, etc. These secondary replacement and inspection are relatively simple. You can buy the brand you want online and then simply check and install it.

3. Carry out proper maintenance

Scientific automobile maintenance cycle refers to the interval mileage or time of automobile maintenance. Maintenance should be carried out regularly. Don't spoil your car like a child. Although regular maintenance is not a bad thing, it must be periodic to avoid internal discomfort caused by excessive maintenance. At the initial stage of automobile use, it is mainly normal maintenance, and the cost is relatively low; When the vehicle has been used for a certain number of years or driven to a certain mileage, it will enter the maintenance period and the cost will be higher. Generally, a new car in good condition can appropriately extend the maintenance cycle; If the car is in poor condition or in poor use condition, the maintenance cycle should be shortened appropriately.

4. Replace the filter in the repair shop.

Always pay attention to cleaning the filter of the car. Don't underestimate it, it directly affects the fuel consumption of your car. During the use of automobile internal combustion engine, impurities such as dust will be mixed into the engine oil, and the oxidation of air and combustion exhaust gas will gradually produce colloid or sludge in the engine oil, which will not only accelerate the wear of parts, but also easily cause oil circuit blockage. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the filter screen of the car regularly.

5. Only need to change antifreeze once every two years.

When the weather turns cold, once the cold air arrives, the temperature drops suddenly, which is likely to affect the normal work of the automobile cooling system. At this time, it is necessary to release the tap water in the water tank in time and use antifreeze instead. If your car has been using antifreeze, you don't need to replace it immediately. The replacement cycle of antifreeze is two years. Generally, the replacement cycle of antifreeze is 2 to 3 years or 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. Some antifreeze will appear a small amount of flocculent precipitation after being stored for one year, mostly caused by additive precipitation, so it is not necessary to throw it away. If a large number of particles precipitate, it means that the antifreeze has deteriorated and can no longer be used. Need to remind everyone that don't forget to clean the engine before replacing antifreeze.

6. Buy insurance reasonably

Many car owners often buy "excess insurance" and "insufficient insurance" when buying auto insurance. Excess insurance means that the insurance limit is higher than the actual value of the subject matter insured. For example, if you buy a car with a value of 1.2 million yuan, you are insured against theft and emergency of 300,000 yuan. In case of total loss, you can only get compensation of 1.2 million yuan. Paragraph 2 of Article 39 of the Insurance Law stipulates that the insured amount shall not exceed the insured value. If it exceeds the insured value, the excess is invalid, that is, the insured can only get corresponding compensation when the subject matter insured suffers losses, but can't get income beyond the value of the subject matter insured because of purchasing insurance. In addition, insufficient insurance means that the insurance limit is lower than the actual value of the subject matter insured, and this situation will be "paid in proportion".

7. Imported tires are not necessarily the best choice.

The car was actually handed over to four tires while driving. However, when buying imported tires of various brands, some people will inevitably enter the misunderstanding of buying. Many consumers prefer to choose imported tires for psychological reasons. In fact, the new tires imported from abroad are too expensive for domestic users and may not be suitable.

8. Inflate the tires properly

Correcting tire pressure is the most important part of safety inspection. Too low tire pressure will lead to abnormal tire pressure wear or internal damage, while too high tire pressure will make tires and rims more vulnerable to the impact of uneven roads, and even lead to tire puncture. Tire pressure must be checked regularly. Except the spare tire, other tires should be inspected at least once every two weeks. The tire pressure inspection must be carried out when the tire is cooled, otherwise the high temperature will increase the tire pressure and the measurement will be inaccurate. At the same time, don't forget to check whether the spare tire pressure is normal. With these, you can easily keep your car in good condition.
