Summer is the high incidence period of automobile faults, so we must maintain the vehicle in time to effectively avoid accidents. What should we pay attention to when maintaining the vehicle? The following small series of sihai.com summarizes several misunderstandings about car maintenance. Let's have a look
Park in the shade
At high temperature, the evaporation of oil and water will increase. At this time, the owner shall check at any time, the fuel tank cover shall be tightly covered, and attention shall be paid to prevent oil leakage from the oil pipe. In order to prevent overheating of the engine, the fan belt shall not be stained with engine oil during maintenance to prevent slipping, and the belt shall be kept as tight as possible. During long-distance driving, pay attention to timely rest, try to choose a cool place, and open the engine hood for ventilation and heat dissipation.
Try to use internal circulation
In summer, the air conditioner shall be comprehensively inspected in advance. As the air conditioner is in the stage of overload operation for a long time in summer, many impurities are accumulated in the air conditioner condenser and water tank condensing network. If it is not cleaned in time, the service life of the air conditioner will be shortened, resulting in poor cooling effect, small air volume and other problems of the air conditioner, and it is easy to nourish bacteria, causing peculiar smell in the car and mildew.
Change the brake fluid frequently
Don't rush to drive in a storm. You can wait until the weather improves. When parking, remember to put away the antenna and don't stop under the tree to prevent lightning. Driving in summer is easy to cause 'boiling pot', so it is necessary to comprehensively test the vehicle cooling system in advance. If the water tank leaks, it shall be repaired or replaced in time. If the water tank is short of liquid, it shall be supplemented in time. If the coolant is turbid and deteriorated, it shall be replaced.
Select high viscosity engine oil
The viscosity of the oil used in summer is better than that in winter, but there is no need to change it. Oil with lower viscosity can be used in winter, with good fluidity.
Fill the tire with nitrogen
After changing the nitrogen, the tire noise will be less, more importantly, the expansion coefficient will be less, and the driving will be safer. In addition, we should pay attention to the sterilization and deodorization of water temperature and air conditioner.
