1, give your car a "full body check".
In winter, you must send your car to a 4S shop or a professional garage for comprehensive maintenance. The cold winter is a big test for your car. Therefore, it is very important to conduct a comprehensive maintenance for your car in advance. Generally, 4S shops will provide professional maintenance for cars before winter, such as replacing antifreeze, antifreeze oil, antifreeze glass, testing heating system, battery electrolyte and so on.
Serious carbon deposition on vehicles is also the main cause of many winter diseases of automobiles. It is recommended that the owner go to a professional maintenance station to clean the carbon deposit inside the combustion chamber and at the top of the piston. If conditions permit, you can also clean the fuel pressure regulator regularly and replace the gasoline filter to reduce the influence of impurities and moisture in gasoline on the oil circuit.
2. Use hot car equipment instead of warm storage.
The common diseases of cars in winter are mainly caused by long-term exposure of cars to cold outdoors. If the car can be parked in a warm garage and the owner pays more attention to maintaining the car, many diseases can be avoided. However, there are obvious differences in the quantity and quality of garages in some residential quarters, and most car owners have to park their cars in the open air. Generally, 75% of automobile wear occurs in the cold start stage, and the wear of automobile during cold start is twice that of normal driving. Therefore, it is necessary for car owners who don't have a garage to choose a hot car equipment.
3. Tips to avoid getting sick
Don't "bomb" the hot car when you are weak at the start. When the outdoor temperature is low, the owner can choose 5W/30 or 10W/30, and these products have better frost resistance. After two or three minutes of steady preheating, the water temperature reaches above 90 degrees Celsius, or the idle speed of the vehicle drops from high speed to about 1000 rpm, so it can be safely driven on the road. Don't accelerate at first, you can drive normally when the water temperature comes up or the idle speed is about 600 rpm.
