Hiểu và áp dụng cách bảo dưỡng phù hợp theo từng mùa không chỉ giúp bạn duy trì hiệu suất tối đa mà còn tiết kiệm đáng kể chi phí sửa chữa.
Spring is the ideal time for your car to "recover" after a cold winter and prepare for the trips ahead in the year.
Check the tires: After the cold months, tire pressure can change. Recheck tire pressure and tread wear to ensure safety. Unevenly worn tires or incorrect pressure will affect road grip and increase fuel consumption.
Replace wiper blades: Spring’s drizzly weather can reduce visibility. Old, hardened wiper blades will not effectively clean the windshield. Replacing the wiper blades will help you have a clearer and safer view when driving.
The intense heat of summer is the biggest enemy of many car components, especially the cooling and air conditioning systems.
Check the air conditioner: Ensure the air conditioning system is working smoothly to cope with the scorching heat. Check the refrigerant (gas), and clean the AC filter to keep the air inside the car cool and fresh.
Check engine coolant: Coolant helps maintain a stable temperature for the engine. Check the coolant level in the overflow tank and ensure there are no leaks. If the level is low, replenish it immediately to prevent the engine from overheating.
Check headlights: Even though the day is sunny, you still need to ensure the headlights are working well to prepare for sudden rain showers or when driving at night.
Autumn is the time when the car needs care to recover after summer and prepare for winter.
Periodic oil change: This is the most important task. Clean engine oil helps lubricate and cool the engine, increasing the car’s lifespan, reducing friction, and saving fuel. Follow the manufacturer's recommended oil change schedule.
Check the exhaust pipe: A dirty or leaky exhaust pipe can affect engine performance. A clean and properly functioning exhaust will help the car run smoothly and consume less fuel.
Cold weather can negatively affect the car’s performance and components.
Check the engine and electrical system: Cold weather can reduce the efficiency of the battery and the starting system. Check the battery, spark plugs, and high-tension wires to ensure the car starts easily and operates stably in cold weather.
Replace filters: Replacing the air filter and fuel filter will help the engine operate more efficiently. Clean filters prevent dirt and impurities from entering the engine, helping to extend the car's lifespan.
