Why regular maintenance is necessary
“The vehicle is in normal use and has no faults or abnormalities. Why must it be maintained on time and regularly?” 』This is a misconception among many driving friends, and it seriously affects the safety of your car, the comfort of driving and the service life of your car!
Machinery and equipment, like people, will gradually age over time and have a certain lifespan. When people feel uncomfortable, they will seek medical advice and undergo regular health examinations every year. Cars, like people, must be repaired immediately if something unusual happens. It is necessary to develop the habit of regular maintenance of the vehicle after being handled by the service shop, so as to extend the service life of the vehicle and increase the safety of people and vehicles on the road.
In addition, regular maintenance is not just about replacing the parts that have reached the replacement cycle mentioned in the owner’s manual. Another important purpose is to be able to grasp potential problems with vehicle parts through detailed and comprehensive safety inspections at ordinary times, so as to detect them early. Solve the problem to avoid further damage to parts or vehicles and maintain the vehicle in optimal condition.

Implementation of regular maintenance
According to the usage conditions of your car, you can extend the service life of your car by choosing the appropriate maintenance cycle and returning to the factory for maintenance and overhaul:
New car running-in period
Generally speaking, the first 1,000 kilometers or 1,500 kilometers of a new car’s driving mileage are called the running-in period or running-in period of the new car. If you run it well during this period, your car will not only drive smoothly, but will also be healthy and live a long life. If the operation is improper and the car overspeeds or the parts are overloaded, the car will not only not perform well, but will also die prematurely. Why do new cars and overhauled cars need to be broken in? Because automobile parts always leave knife marks and grinding marks during the processing process, forming rough surfaces, and geometric errors plus allowable assembly tolerances will also prevent the parts from being completely closed when assembled, and the gaps may be large or small. It forms a point of contact, but cannot cover all aspects and match seamlessly. Therefore, after a new car or an overhaul, a period of time must be used for running-in processing to grind away the uneven parts of the surface and gradually form a relatively smooth and wear-resistant working surface. At the same time, the moving parts can become closely adapted to each other, so that Your car gradually develops its due performance and efficiency. After a new car has gone through the running-in period of 1,000 kilometers, it is strongly recommended that you send your car back to the original factory for maintenance and inspection. The main task is to replace the engine oil and transmission oil, because the moving parts of the engine and transmission are undergoing running-in processing. There will always be some metal particles worn away and mixed into the lubricating oil. If the dirty oil is not replaced and the driver resumes more vigorous driving movements, these metal particles will deepen the damage to the moving parts like scrub. Wear will affect the life of the engine.
General usage
If you usually use your car without excessive or severe use, you only need to carry out regular maintenance and vehicle safety inspections in accordance with the “regular maintenance cycle schedule” in the owner’s manual provided by the original manufacturer to ensure the safety of the vehicle. Can keep the vehicle in optimal condition.
Severe use cases
The so-called severe vehicle usage conditions are:
The engine idles for a long time, often drives at low speeds for long distances, often drives short distances in cold weather, or often drives on congested roads at night with temperatures above 32 degrees.
Frequently drive on dusty roads.
Frequent braking.
Often fully loaded, with extra load, or driven on mountainous roads for long periods of time.
Frequently drive on uneven or muddy roads.
If your car is often used harshly in any of the above situations, in addition to performing maintenance according to the “regular maintenance cycle schedule”, some items must also be shortened in accordance with the “harsh use maintenance items and periodic schedule”. Implement more frequent maintenance. In order to ensure the health of your car, extend the service life of the vehicle, and ensure the safety of people and vehicles.
