The replacement cycle of commonly used automotive accessories

The so-called maintenance cycle of a car actually refers to the replacement cycle of some vulnerable parts on the car, such as oil, filters, tires, batteries, etc. These parts will gradually be consumed or lose their original functions with the operation of the car, losing or reducing their protective effect on the car, so they must be replaced regularly. The replacement cycle varies greatly depending on the usage conditions and materials used. The following will be analyzed separately.

1. Oil

Engine oil is the most important liquid on the engine, which has the function of lubricating and cleaning the engine. The general mineral oil replacement cycle is 5000 kilometers, semi synthetic oil replacement cycle is 7500 kilometers, and fully synthetic oil replacement cycle is 10000 kilometers. Adjustments can be made according to specific usage conditions. If driving frequently in poor road conditions, heavy dust, or very congested road conditions, it is recommended to shorten the replacement cycle appropriately

2. Oil filter

The oil filter replacement cycle should be the same as the oil frequency, generally between 5000-7500 kilometers. If a car uses semi synthetic oil and changes to fully synthetic oil, the oil filter should also be replaced. Otherwise, the two types of oil will interact with each other in the oil filter, affecting the normal use of the oil filter.

3. Air filter

Air filter element refers to a piece of filter cloth (mesh) in the engine intake pipe, which is used to prevent external air from carrying dust into the cylinder. The air filter replacement cycle is 10000 kilometers/6 months, and its price is not expensive. Regular cleaning and replacement can ensure smooth engine intake.

4. Gasoline filter

The main function of a gasoline filter is to remove impurities from gasoline. It is divided into two types: built-in and external. The external type is usually replaced every 20000 kilometers, while the internal type can be used for more than 40000 kilometers.

5. Air conditioning filter

The replacement cycle of the air conditioning filter is 7500-10000 kilometers. In fact, the frequency of replacement depends on the personal driving environment, and it is recommended to replace it regularly as it affects the health of the vehicle.
