Specialists do not advise listening to different folk "craftsmen" who are constantly advised to add these or other additives to the oil. And all the sellers who will give you such advice - just think about their wallet. Remember that high quality oil already has in its composition all the necessary substances and additives that will ensure the uninterrupted operation of the engine - that's what you need to buy.
Another important part of your car that requires proper maintenance is the fuel system. Any problems in this system will lead you to the SRT, where you want to visit at the very last. It turns out that the fuel should also be used only high-quality( without impurities and not diluted).Almost everywhere you can hear( or read) about how the employees of the gas station "chemist".From here it is necessary to make a correct conclusion and refuel only on the checked refuellings. Try to assess the quality of gasoline visually. Also, try to keep checks, because if something happens to your car because of low-quality gasoline - they will always help to prove the sale of bad gasoline to you. Remember that all of the above concerns not only fuel and oil, but also antifreeze, antifreeze and all the rest that you pour into your car.
Try not to forget about the coolant, which must be changed at least twice a year, as well as constantly monitor its level in the tank. Since if you forget to look again - the radiator can overheat and, as a result, an unscheduled visit to the car service.
Fuel system filters are the first obstacle in the way of poor-quality fuel. According to the recommendations of various manufacturers, it is best to replace them every 5000 kilometers for diesel engines and after 7000 kilometers for gasoline engines. In the event that the need to replace the filters will occur before the specified mileage - in any case, do not wait until the indicated numbers are reached and change the filters.
Suspension
As everyone knows, it is the suspension that takes on all the loads and overloads when driving on the road. It is the suspension that largely provides controllability and stability, and accordingly, the safety of the driver and passengers. This is its main purpose. Do not forget about the comfort of movement in the car, which is less important, but more tangible.
Thus, you need to constantly take care of the suspension, check and adjust( if necessary) the "collapse-convergence" in the car workshop. In no case is it necessary to "heroize" over ravines, potholes, bumps and other irregularities of Russian roads. Remember, the more accurate and quiet the movement, the longer the suspension parts will last. But, unfortunately, the process of wearing parts can only be slowed down, not stopped. There is no panacea here. The optimal function of the suspension depends directly on the wheels. Thus, it is not recommended to buy "faded" light alloy wheels. Always refer to the instruction manual, which indicates the optimum size of the discs for your car model.
External appearance of
Everyone knows that the new machines are beautiful, and the paintwork is literally dazzling. To ensure that it does not lose its dazzling and protective properties over time - it is necessary to wash the car as often as possible. It is best to wash your hands, for greater purity and efficiency. In the event that a body has recently been repainted, you need to forget about washing the car for at least two months. Also, do not disdain autocosmetics, it's not some kind of foppery, but a necessity, because besides beauty, it's also protection.
You do not need to relax in the fight against corrosion. And not only be alert, but also to warn it, putting the appropriate mastic on potentially dangerous places( the inside of the wings and the bottom).Remember, the less dirt there accumulates, the less chance of rust formation.
If gasoline or other process fluids are spilled onto the machine, you should wipe the stain dry as soon as possible, otherwise there will be unpleasant traces. To some extent, the car will be your home: for some - the second, and for others - perhaps the first. And, as everybody knows, there must be order and cleanliness in the house. After all, dirt and dust harm your health! You can use the services of professional dry cleaners, and you can do everything yourself, saving money. However, some pollution itself can not be removed. Dirt and dust will settle almost everywhere: on the dashboard, upholstery and doors, not to mention how much under the mats and in the trunk. So it is necessary to draw conclusions and properly wipe the shoes before you sit in the car.
Cleanliness and order in the cabin is not only an aesthetic moment. As a result, it is the purity in which will determine the reliability of the equipment. For example, your air conditioner will last much longer, if the hood is cleaner, the level of antifreeze in the radiator unit and the engine oil will be sufficient.
Tips
It should be noted: the more driving experience, the more experience he has, the better he understands the psychology of other participants in the movement( both passengers and other drivers, and unpredictable pedestrians).
So do not overload your car. All kinds of building materials are best transported on trucks, because your "car" can simply tear yourself. You also need to take care of the automatic transmission: switch to N or P mode in traffic jams. In this case, wear will be much smaller.
Do not provoke pedestrians, for example, if you take your car by pedestrian crossing, it is likely that someone will sweep their anger on your car. After all, the transition is still for pedestrians! Try to protect yourself and your car.
There is a fairly common misconception that the less you drive a car, the better your car is. This point of view is wrong, because frequent trips by car will support in working tone, both the car itself and the driver. Also, this option is allowed: to travel less often, but for long distances. In the end, the benefits of the car in the permanent parking lot is almost none.
With the purchase of a new car there is always a lot of pleasant hassle. What could be nicer than driving? But, unfortunately, sooner or later you will have to repair your car and for a while walk or move on public transport. Also do not forget about the costs that are associated with repairing the car, as well as wasting nerves and time in dealing with employees of car-care centers.
For example, doctors will always prefer to do preventive maintenance because they know that the treatment itself will always be more difficult than warning. The car, though made of iron, is short-lived, like a man. Accordingly, the car needs the care that the owner must show. The word "care" means timely and correct care, due to which you are much less likely to visit parts stores and service stations. How exactly do you need to take care of your "iron friend", and what needs to be constantly observed and remembered?
