Regular maintenance of Pickup Trucks requires focusing on several core components to ensure driving safety and extend equipment lifespan.
1. Engine-Related Components
Engine maintenance is a top priority:
Oil Checks: Regularly inspect the engine oil level and quality, and replace the oil and oil filter based on mileage or time intervals to prevent oil deterioration and engine wear.
Air Filter: Clean or replace the air filter to prevent dust from entering the engine and reducing combustion efficiency. Inspections should generally be performed every 5,000–10,000 kilometers.
2. Brake System Components
Brake system maintenance should not be neglected:
Brake Pads: Check the thickness of the brake pads regularly. Replace them if they are less than 3 mm to prevent excessive wear that could affect braking performance.
Brake Discs: Inspect the surface of the brake discs for flatness. Repair or replace them if scratches or deformations are present.
Brake Fluid: Regularly replenish the brake fluid to ensure it remains within the specified range.
3. Tires and Transmission Components
Additional maintenance is required for tires and transmission systems:
Tire Pressure: Check the tire pressure of Pickup Trucks monthly and maintain it at the standard value (usually 2.5–3.0 bar) to avoid uneven wear caused by excessively high or low pressure.
Drive Shaft and Universal Joint: Regularly inspect the connections of the drive shaft and universal joint for looseness or abnormal noise. Tighten or lubricate them promptly to prevent component damage and malfunction.
