Post: Engine maintenance guide?

The car engine is one of the core components of the car. Maintaining the engine can extend its service life and keep the performance of the car stable. Here are some maintenance methods for car engines.

1. Regularly change the engine oil and filter: The engine oil is the key to the normal operation of the engine. It can reduce friction, cool the engine, and remove carbon deposits. It is very important to change the engine oil and filter regularly. It is recommended to do it every 5000-10000 kilometers. The filter should also be replaced together.
2. Maintain normal cooling: The engine generates a lot of heat during operation, and the function of the cooling system is to dissipate the heat. Check the level and quality of the coolant, and regularly check the water pipes and water pumps in the cooling system for leaks or wear.
3. Regularly check the engine belt: The engine belt is responsible for driving other accessories on the engine, such as the generator, air conditioning compressor, etc. Regularly check the tension and wear of the belt, and replace the aging or damaged belt in time.
4. Clean the engine regularly: Dust and oil on the surface of the engine will affect the heat dissipation effect, so it is important to clean the surface of the engine regularly. When cleaning the engine, be sure not to use a high-pressure water gun to avoid damaging the circuit or other components.
5. Pay attention to the engine temperature: When the engine temperature is too high, it will cause damage to the engine, so pay attention to the temperature gauge on the dashboard in time. If the temperature is too high, stop the car and check whether there is a coolant leak or fan failure.
6. Avoid frequent short-distance starts: Frequent short-distance starts will cause unnecessary wear on the engine because the engine will generate additional load when starting. Try to plan your travel routes to reduce frequent starts.
7. Replace spark plugs regularly: Spark plugs are a core component of the ignition system and will wear out due to long-term use. According to the recommendations of the car manual, replace the appropriate type of spark plugs regularly.
