Car Engine Maintenance and Repair Methods

I will explain the methods of repairing and maintaining a car engine. Such maintenance is very important for maintaining vehicle performance and extending its lifespan over the long term.

 

1. Oil and Oil Filter Replacement

Engine oil is important for reducing wear on engine parts and maintaining cleanliness. Generally, it is recommended to replace the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers.

The oil filter should also be replaced to filter out impurities entering the engine.

 

2. Air Filter Replacement

The air filter plays a role in supplying clean air to the engine. A clogged filter can increase fuel consumption and decrease performance.

Typically, it is good to replace it every 12,000 to 24,000 kilometers.

 

3. Fuel Filter Replacement

The fuel filter filters out impurities mixed in the fuel, ensuring clean fuel is supplied to the engine.

It is generally recommended to replace the fuel filter every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers.

 

 

4. Spark Plug Inspection and Replacement

Spark plugs ignite the mixture of fuel and air to operate the engine.

They should be checked and replaced if necessary when there are signs of performance degradation or increased fuel consumption.

 

5. Timing Belt Inspection and Replacement

The timing belt controls the engine valves to open and close at the proper times.

The timing belt should generally be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers.

 

6. Regular Inspections and Service

Regularly check the engine oil level, coolant level, and the condition of belts and hoses, and take action as needed.

Regular service by a professional can help detect and solve potential problems in advance.
