Cars, like people, have a life cycle, its life span and car condition. Tell you, in different periods of use, the condition of vehicles varies greatly. This is the same as young people going to the gym, middle-aged people going to the massage room and old people going to the chess room. If you want to keep your car in good condition, you need to know the precautions of maintenance in different cycles.

Generally speaking, the life cycle of an automobile is divided into five stages: running-in period, golden period, mature period, recession period and elimination period. In these five stages, the focus of automobile maintenance and repair should be different.

First, the running-in period

The first two years after the purchase of a new car are the complete period of vehicle functions, which can be said to be the best period of the car, equivalent to people's youth. If the vehicle has any fatal quality problems, it can be found within one year. If there are no quality problems, then the vehicle is in excellent condition at this stage, suggesting that as long as you carry out routine maintenance, there will be basically no problems. At this stage, everyone should pay attention to safe driving.

Second, the golden age.

Three years is the warranty period, so it is called the golden period. During this period, in addition to routine maintenance, the whole vehicle shall be inspected, including but not limited to:

(1) Working conditions of wipers, lighting and reversing radar;

② engine compartment;

③ Chassis condition;

4 tires (including spare tires);

⑤ Brake system components;

Note: These fragile and consumable parts are related to driving safety. If you want to cross the three-year warranty period stably, you must pay attention to them.

Third, maturity

Generally speaking, there are more used cars in about five years, because the cars at this stage are in good condition and can be sold at a good price. I tell you, this stage is mainly the maintenance or replacement of brake pads, fuel pumps, shock absorbers and other components.

Fourth, the fading period.

Just as human beings can't stop aging, the aging of cars is inevitable. After six to ten years of vehicle use, the performance will decline year by year, while the maintenance cost will increase year by year. Problems with rubber parts, air conditioning, car paint and power system will also be more prominent, and vehicles with conditions will mainly be repaired or replaced in time. In addition, the decline of vehicle dynamic performance can be alleviated by cleaning the engine and changing the oil. Remind you that during this period, you must strengthen the maintenance of the car and appropriately increase the number of inspections in the repair shop.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) elimination period

After ten to fifteen years of use, all kinds of hidden and obvious dangers began to appear. Just like a dying patient, he is in danger of death at any time. The car in this period is the same, and the owner is also uneasy when using it, for fear that it will rest on the road. I remind everyone that in actual use, try not to pull the engine speed too high to avoid violent driving and let the car finish the rest of the journey smoothly.

After these five cycles, the life of a car will be hygienic. If you want to keep your car with you for a few more years, please pay more attention to car maintenance! Finally, I wish my car will always be at its peak: original paint, frozen air conditioning, hot seats, and flying with oil!
