Basic knowledge of semi-trailer maintenance
- Oil replacement knowledge
How often should the oil be replaced? How much oil needs to be replaced each time? The replacement cycle and amount of oil are issues that we pay special attention to. The direct way is to check your own vehicle maintenance manual, which usually has a very clear introduction. But there are also many people whose maintenance manuals have long disappeared. At this time, you need to learn more about it. Generally speaking, the replacement cycle of oil is 5,000 kilometers, and the specific replacement cycle and amount should be determined according to the relevant information of the model.
Not all models are suitable for car owners to change the oil by themselves, but we can learn to check the oil dipstick to determine whether the oil is due for replacement. In addition, it is necessary to replace the oil filter at the same time as the engine oil.
- Knowledge of antifreeze application
Antifreeze is used throughout the year. In addition to the function of antifreeze cooling, antifreeze also has the functions of cleaning, rust removal, and corrosion prevention, reducing the corrosion of the water tank and protecting the engine. Pay attention to the color of the antifreeze to choose the right one and do not mix them.
- Knowledge of brake fluid application
The function of the brake system is closely related to the brake fluid. When checking and replacing hardware such as brake pads and brake discs, do not forget to check whether the brake fluid needs to be increased and replaced.
- Transmission oil
In order to ensure that the car is flexible in steering, the transmission oil should be checked frequently. Whether it is gear oil or automatic transmission oil, pay attention to the type of oil, which is generally good.
