Five skills of engine maintenance

The engine is the core component of the automobile structure, which is called the "heart" of the automobile. It provides power for the vehicle and determines its power, economy and stability. The engine of the traditional fuel car has a high technical content, so the old driver should be more careful to make the car drive longer. What is the way to maintain the truck engine?

Check the dashboard

Dashboard is an important tool for daily monitoring of automobile functions. We should always pay attention to the dashboard display lights. When we find that the engine fault light on the dashboard is on for a long time, we should stop driving and send the car to the repair shop for inspection and maintenance in time.

Check the fuel tank oil level.

Always pay attention to the oil level in the fuel tank and check whether there is oil leakage in the fuel tank. When the fuel tank oil level is too low, it should be replenished in time to avoid damaging the fuel pump due to the long-term low fuel tank oil level, so that the engine cannot be started normally.

Pay attention to the engine oil quantity.

Engine oil mainly plays the role of lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust prevention and corrosion prevention, shock absorption and buffering. The inspection and maintenance of engine oil is related to the performance and service life of the engine.

Look at the oil meter and you will know whether you need to replenish the oil. When the oil trace is close to the mark of the lower limit of the scale, oil should be added immediately to avoid serious wear and tear of engine parts caused by poor lubrication; When the amount of engine oil exceeds the upper limit of the scale, it is necessary to release excess engine oil to avoid burning engine oil and carbon deposition in the combustion chamber and reduce engine power.

Check the engine radiator.

Engine radiator is the key component of water-cooled engine cooling system. Clean regularly at ordinary times, and pay attention to the water level of water or antifreeze in the radiator. When the amount of water or antifreeze is too low, it should be added in time to avoid engine cylinder pulling and cylinder explosion caused by too high temperature.

Keep the engine block clean

Generally speaking, after the vehicle has been used for many years, some sludge that is difficult to clean will gather near the cylinder head cover or fuel filler. At ordinary times, the external surface of the engine can be cleaned regularly to ensure the cleanliness of the engine compartment and facilitate the inspection of oil leakage and liquid leakage of the engine.

Engine is a complex organic whole composed of multiple systems, so attention should be paid to the use of multiple components at the same time when maintaining. These small details of maintaining the heart of the car hope to provide some help to the card friends.
