As we all know, with the passage of time, cars will age, so car maintenance is like keeping in good health. If you want to use the car more smoothly and for a long time, you should pay attention to maintenance at ordinary times. When cars are at different ages, the condition of cars can be said to be very different, but unlike us humans, cars have no infancy, and they are in our youth after leaving the factory. Generally speaking, the life cycle of an automobile is divided into five stages: running-in period, golden period, mature period, recession period and dangerous period. At these different stages, the emphasis of maintenance and repair is different. Golden period, mature period and recession period are the three most important stages of automobile maintenance. In these three stages, good car maintenance can significantly extend the service life of the car. Today, we will talk about the maintenance items that cars should know at different ages and the matters that should be paid special attention to during maintenance.

Running-in period: 1 year.

The age of the new car is 1 year, which is equivalent to our human youth. All the parts of the car have just left the factory, which is very "strong", but some of them are unstable and need to be run in. Therefore, the running-in period is mainly carried out in the working state of all parts in the car to achieve the best working state. At this stage, you generally don't need much maintenance, just do the first insurance, usually 5 thousand kilometers or 3 months for a new car.

Golden age: within three years of the automobile age

At present, the warranty period of models on the market is generally 3 years/65,438 438+ 10/00000 km. Compared with the running-in period, some vulnerable parts of the car need to be replaced at this stage, so we should not only pay attention to the oil, but also pay attention to the five-oil four-filter, brake pad and wiper. It can be said that three years is a hurdle for the car. If it is well maintained in the golden period, the perfect car condition will last longer.

Duration: 3-5 years

At this stage, we should pay attention to:

1. Status of five oils, four filters and wipers

2. Working status of lighting and reversing radar

3. The overall working condition of the engine compartment

4. Chassis and spare tire

5. The whole braking system

Generally speaking, in a normal car environment, it is only necessary to regularly check the working conditions of the above components, and replace them in time after problems occur, so that they can spend five years safely.

Fading period: 6- 10 years.

If your car is over 10 years old, its performance will drop significantly, other problems will appear constantly, and the maintenance cost will soar. The fundamental reason is that you didn't pay attention to maintaining your car during the recession. During the descending period of the automobile, all rubber parts need to be inspected, including but not limited to oil seal, sealing ring, timing belt, three-way catalytic converter, vehicle air conditioner and power system. Although it can only delay the decline of automobile performance, it can at least ensure the safety of automobile use.

Dangerous period: 10 years or more.

As the name implies, after a car reaches the age of 10, its performance will be greatly reduced. If you don't pay attention to maintenance, there will be problems such as meat, abnormal noise, sound insulation, black smoke from exhaust, and more importantly, it may affect the safety of the car. If the maintenance of the car was sloppy before and the car itself was in poor condition, it is not recommended to use it again. Those old cars that have been carefully maintained regularly need to undergo a "comprehensive physical examination" after 10 years to ensure that the cars are completely free of problems before they can be used, and the follow-up needs to be carried out regularly in strict accordance with the recommendations in the car manual.
