1, scientific and reasonable maintenance of cars
Automobile maintenance cycle refers to the interval mileage or time of automobile maintenance. High maintenance frequency is not a bad thing, which can ensure the performance of the vehicle more effectively. 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. Scientifically determining the interval mileage of various maintenance operations can not only keep the car in good technical condition, but also save you maintenance costs and maintenance costs. However, when determining the maintenance cycle of the automobile, we should refer to the maintenance cycle recommended by the automobile manufacturer and make appropriate adjustments in combination with the technical situation and actual use of the automobile.
2. Replace simple parts by yourself
Generally speaking, the air filter of a car should be replaced when the car travels 20,000 kilometers, and checked when it travels 65,438+0,000 kilometers. Wipers need to be replaced every six months to one year. It can be said that the air filter and wiper are the cheapest parts in the car, and their inspection and replacement are very simple. It's really not worth wasting time and money to repair the site.
3. 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. Insufficient insurance means that the insurance limit is lower than the actual value of the subject matter insured and will be paid in proportion. For example, if the insured amount is 50,000 yuan this year, which is 70,000 yuan lower than the actual value, then only 50,000 yuan will be paid in case of total loss.
4. Replace the filter in time
Most automobile engines use rotary oil filter, which is a disposable filter and cannot be disassembled and cleaned. When replacing lubricating oil, the oil filter must be replaced at the same time, otherwise the quality of lubricating oil will be affected. The cycle of changing oil and oil filter is generally 5000 km to 10000 km. The filter is marked with oil inlet and oil outlet arrows, so do not install it backwards when replacing it.
5. Correct the tire pressure more.
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. Finally, don't forget to check whether the spare tire pressure is normal.
Step 6 choose the right tire
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. Tires suitable for foreign road conditions may not perform well in China.
7. Develop good driving habits
Finally, the key point of frugal car maintenance is how to reduce fuel consumption. Closely related to fuel consumption. Besides the condition and performance of the vehicle, it is more important to develop good driving habits. It is unrealistic to save fuel and money only by additives. In addition to paying attention to car maintenance, developing good driving habits is the foundation of fuel economy.
