When the vehicle has been used for a certain number of years or mileage, it will enter the maintenance period, and the cost is relatively high. How can we save the cost of automobile maintenance on the premise of ensuring the quality?

省钱计谋一：合理确定保养周期

Money saving strategy 1: reasonable maintenance period

科学地确定各类保养作业的间隔里程，不仅能使汽车经常保持良好的技术状况，还能使您节省保养费用和修理费用。一般汽车技术状况良好的新车，在良好的运用条件下使用，可适当延长保养周期;而汽车技术状况较差，或运用条件恶劣，则应适当缩短保养周期。

Scientifically determining the interval mileage of various maintenance operations can not only keep the car in good technical condition, but also save maintenance and repair costs. In general, the maintenance period of new cars with good technical conditions can be appropriately extended if they are used under good operating conditions, while those with poor technical conditions or poor operating conditions should be appropriately shortened.

省钱计谋二：充分利用检测

Money saving strategy 2: making full use of free testing

现在的汽车厂家越来越重视售后服务，由此为车主带来的好处就是可经常享受的检测活动。这些检测活动很多看似简单，在车主看来似乎没有实质性内容，其实这些检测活动是非常有好处的。车主可以利用这些检测活动对爱车体检，及时发现一些潜在的故障，并将这些故障隐患，省去了将来的高额维修保养费用。

Now the automobile manufacturers pay more and more attention to after-sales service, which brings benefits to the owners that they can often enjoy free testing activities. Many of these free testing activities seem simple, but there seems to be no substantial content in the eyes of car owners. In fact, these free testing activities are very beneficial. Car owners can use these free testing activities to have a comprehensive physical examination of their car, discover some potential faults in time, and eliminate these hidden troubles, thus saving high maintenance costs in the future.

省钱计谋三：尽可能少解体维修总成

Saving money strategy 3: disassemble and repair assembly as little as possible

很多车主都有这种感觉，自己车的某个总成(如发动机)在解体维修后便一发不可收拾，隔一段时间就要“住院”。为了防止车辆过早进入维修期，您更好尽可能少解体维修总成，利用各种的保养设备和手段，对汽车进行免拆保养，不但可以避免由于解体保养给汽车总成和部件造成的不必要损伤，还可大大加快汽车保养的速度，从而降低维修总费用。

Many car owners have this feeling that a certain assembly of their car (such as the engine) is out of control after being disassembled for maintenance, and they have to be "hospitalized" after a period of time. In order to prevent the vehicle from entering the maintenance period prematurely, you'd better reduce the disassembly of the repair assembly as much as possible. By using various advanced maintenance equipment and means, the vehicle can be maintained free of disassembly, which can not only avoid unnecessary damage to the automobile assembly and components caused by disassembly maintenance, but also greatly accelerate the speed of vehicle maintenance, so as to reduce the total cost of maintenance.

省钱计谋四：恰当用油

Money saving strategy 4: proper use of oil

恰当用油包含两个方面：一是燃油，二是润滑油。燃料选用不当，很容易造成燃油滤清器堵塞等故障，使发动机出现怠速不稳、加速不良和油耗上升等现象，还会加速气缸的磨损，影响发动机寿命。怎样选用润滑油，做到既能满足润滑要求，又少花钱呢?基本原则是：能满足车辆使用要求就行，只买对的不买贵的。比如发动机机油，对于国产轿车，一些国产SJ级机油完全能够满足要求，没有必要买进口的。

Proper use of oil includes two aspects: fuel oil and lubricating oil. Improper selection of fuel can easily cause fuel filter blockage and other faults, make the engine appear unstable idle speed, poor acceleration and fuel consumption, and accelerate cylinder wear and affect engine life. How to choose lubricating oil to meet the lubrication requirements and reduce the cost? The basic principle is that it can meet the requirements of vehicle use, only buy the right one, not the expensive one. For example, engine oil, for domestic cars, some domestic SJ grade oil can fully meet the requirements, there is no need to buy imported.
