Cheats for novice car repairs

First of all, the first engine compartment, the maintenance that is often done here is the maintenance of the engine. The main maintenance of the engine is to change the oil. It is recommended that you do it frequently Always check the level of your own engine oil, especially those cars that burn engine oil, because if it is lower than the lower limit, there may be insufficient oil pressure or some damage to the engine. As for changing the engine oil, it is not recommended for Miao Ge cars to do it. There is no professional It is very troublesome to change the engine oil with the tools. In addition, the replaced used engine oil is not easy to dispose and can easily pollute the environment. To sum up, you can check the car engine oil yourself on a regular basis. But if you want to replace it, you can buy the materials yourself and go to a car repair place like this to replace it.

The second part is more important: brake oil. In many places, brake oil is replaced based on age or mileage. In fact, the real replacement standard for brake oil is that we use a test pen to test its moisture content. If the rate exceeds the warning value, it must be replaced. If it does not exceed the limit, it can be used continuously. Changing brake fluid is technically difficult, and brake fluid is carcinogenic, so it is recommended not to change it yourself. It is best to go to a professional place to change it. A bit more reliable. The third more important oil is the transmission oil. Its replacement mileage is relatively long. The box containing the transmission oil has the highest and lowest points marked on it. As long as the car is cold and the state is within this range, the transmission oil is reasonable. Brother Miao suggests that you don’t have to change it yourself, just go outside and change it.

The other one is the hydraulic power steering oil. The power steering oil also has its highest point and lowest point. However, if it is an electronically assisted car, there is no power steering oil. It is very troublesome to change it. , it is recommended to change it outside. The other is glass water. Glass water is clean water. If you search carefully in the engine compartment, you will find a glass water spray mark. If the glass water is missing, just open it and add it. There is no problem in adding it yourself. .

There is also coolant, which is actually antifreeze. It can be replaced by yourself. The antifreeze in the engine compartment only needs to be not lower than the lowest point when the car is cold. If If it is less, just add the same type of antifreeze. If you don't know which type it is, the most reliable way is to add distilled water. Adding a little less water will not affect its performance.

Then there is the car battery. The battery life of a car with automatic start and stop is 2 to 3 years. The life of a car without automatic start and stop will be longer. You can remember this parameter when replacing the battery, 12 volts 60 amps, this is a good state of power generation of the battery. In addition to the things inside the engine compartment, things outside the car such as wipers can also be replaced by yourself. If you don't want to change them, you can also directly replace the rubber strips or wiper blades. There is no problem in doing this yourself.

The last step is to check the brake pads and tires. You can usually check whether the brake pads need to be replaced by yourself. Of course, they cannot be replaced by yourself. Just check the brake pads diagonally from the side of the tire from this position. You can see the thickness of the brake pads when you look inside. Generally, we judge whether the brake pads need to be replaced by the thickness. Replacing the brake pads is not very professional, but at least it is a little troublesome to remove the tires. , so it is not recommended to change it yourself.

When replacing tires, Brother Miao recommends looking at the degree of wear and age. Generally, it is recommended that you replace tires that are more than five years old. This cannot be replaced by yourself. You need a machine and dynamic balancing to replace it.
