TIPS
for Taking Care of Your Car
Your car works best when it's in good condition. To avoid big problems and expensive carrepairs, it's important to do some basic car maintenance regularly. Here are some of the things you should check:
Check the tire pressure every week. (Your car’s owner’s manual will tell you what the tire pressure should be.) Look at the tires. Make sure they're not too old or worn. In addition, you should have your tires rotated, or their positions changed, every 7, 000 miles.Check your car’s oil every other time you get gas. Add oil if the level is low. Change the oil if it is black instead of a yellow-brown color. In general, you should change the oil and oil filter every three months or every 3, 000 miles.
Replace your windshield wiper blades every six months. Don't wait until they break to change them.Check the level of windshield washer fluid every month.If the level is low, add more.Do not use water.Use washer fluid only.
Check the levels of other fluids (liquids) such as coolant, or antifreeze, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and transmission fluid every other time you get gas. Add more fluid if the level is low.These fluids should be replaced about every 30, 000 miles.
Have a mechanic check your car's entire brake system every year.

汽车维护小贴士
当汽车处于良好状态时，它的性能会更佳。为了避免大的问题和昂贵的汽车维修，定期进行一些基本的汽车维护是很重要的。以下是一些需要检查的事项：
1. 每周检查轮胎压力（参考汽车说明书中的推荐压力）。检查轮胎，看看它们是否太旧或磨损过度。此外，每行驶7,000英里（约11,300公里）时，应旋转轮胎或更换轮胎位置。
2.每次加油时检查汽车的机油。如果油位低，应添加机油。如果机油变黑（正常颜色为黄棕色），应更换机油。一般来说，每三个月或每行驶3,000英里（约4,800公里）时，应更换机油和机油滤清器。
3.每六个月更换一次挡风玻璃刮水器刀片，不要等到它们坏了再更换。每个月检查挡风玻璃清洗液的水平。如果水平低，应添加更多。不要使用水，只能使用清洗液。
4.每次加油时检查其他液体（如冷却液、制动液、助力转向液和变速箱液）的水平。如果水平低，应添加更多。这些液体大约每30,000英里（约48,000公里）更换一次。
5.每年让机修人员检查汽车的整个制动系统。
希望这些小贴士能帮助您更好地维护您的汽车！
