4. Objective
 Many people automatically think anything that
deals with their vehicle maintenance needs to be
dealt with by a professional. Approximately every
3,000 to 5,000 miles a vehicle should be serviced.
 To some people this just means changing the oil, but
what a vehicle really needs is an overall
maintenance.
 My objective is to study the the overall services
done by kiamotors.
 In this study , the general steps that should be
taken for a vehicle maintenance service is
thoroughly studied.

10. Need -Why vehicle service
 A motor vehicle service or tune-up is a series
of maintenance procedures carried out at a
set time interval or after the vehicle has
travelled a certain distance.
The service intervals are specified by
the vehicle manufacturer in a service ... book
which is rubber-stamped by the service
centre upon completion of each service.

11. Full service on a car
 What is included in a full service on a car?
 Typically included will be top ups of the brake
fluid and antifreeze, more brake checks,
inspection of the engine, wheel bearings and
shock absorbers and replacement of pollen
filters/inspection of the air conditioning
system are usually included too.

12. What is needed to service a
car?
 Every car is different, so to find out what
needs replacing in your vehicle engine, fuel,
drive system, electrical, steering and
suspension, exhaust, brakes, tyres and wheels
vision, internal and so more. ... A basic car
service should include: Engine Oil Change. Oil
Filter Change.

13. HOW TO SERVICE YOUR CAR BY
YOURSELF
 A regular car service can be a costly affair. Rather than
letting your services go by, take these steps to keep your
car in good shape until you can afford a full service.This will
also help cut down on repairs.
 Remember some manufacture warranties become null and
void if you service your car yourself or use a non-accredited
workshop, so find out what you can and cannot do before
getting started.
 Check your owner’s handbook or contact your
manufacturer to find out the types of services necessary
and the mileages when they should be carried out.
 Having a comprehensive service history will increase the
resale value of your car if you ever decide to sell it.


14. Basic services performed
 Basic Services Performed:
1. Oil Change
2.Tire Rotation
3.Tire Pressure
4. Check Fluid Levels

15. Steps to maintain your car
 Method 1. Managing your cars fluids and
filters
 Method 2.Taking care of brakes belts and
hoses
 Method 3.Maintaining the electrical system

16. Steps in maintaining
a car by self

Look for application-specific needs in your owner’s
manual. While many aspects of routine maintenance on
your car are universal, there are some that may be
specific to your car’s particular make, model, or year.
 Check in the owner’s manual for scheduled maintenance
requirements to ensure you don’t miss any important
ones.
 Some cars need to have their timing belts replaced at
specific mileage intervals. Otherwise, you risk doing
damage to your cylinder head.
 If you don’t have an owner’s manual, refer to the
manufacturer’s website for further guidance.

17. Check fluid reservoirs
 Check the fluid reservoirs in the engine bay and add
more fluid when needed. Your engine bay has plastic
reservoirs for brake fluid, engine coolant, windshield
washer fluid, and power steering fluid.
 The lower line on the reservoir is the “fill” point. Any time
you see the fluid drop below that line, add more until it’s
back up to the higher line, which is the “full” point. Some
vehicles have specific requirements for the type of coolant
or brake fluid you use.
 Refer to your owner’s manual or an application specific
repair manual to see what kind is right for your specific car.
 To fill each reservoir, unscrew the cap and pour the fluid in
until it reaches the “full” point as indicated on the side.
Then screw the cap back on.

18. Change the filters
 Change your oil every 3,000 miles. Once you hit the 3,000-mile mark, jack up
the car and slide a container beneath the oil pan. Remove the drain bolt (the
only bolt running into the oil pan) and allow the oil to drain out into the
container. Then locate the oil filter and remove it . Put a bit of oil on your
finger and run it along the seal of the new filter, then screw it in place. Return
the drain bolt to the oil pan once it has finished draining.[Refill the engine
with the correct amount and type of oil once the new filter is in place and you
have reinserted the drain plug.
 Different vehicles have different oil capacities and requirements. Refer to
your owner’s manual or an application specific repair manual to find out what
type and amount of oil you need for your car.

Swap out your air filter every year.The air filter prevents sand and debris
from getting into your engine from outside. Most filters need to be replaced
annually, though some aftermarket filters can be cleaned instead of
replaced. Find the air box at the end of the intake pipe that leads into the top
of the engine. Release the 2 to 4 clips holding it closed and open the top to
access the air filter.The filter just sits inside the air box. Remove it with your
hand and set the new one in its place.
 Close the air box again and use the clips to secure the lid.

19. Install a new fuel filter
 Use the right octane fuel for your engine. The octane rating of fuel is a
measurement of the fuel’s stability under pressure. High compression or
forced induction engines (turbocharged or supercharged engines) require a
higher octane fuel than most other vehicles. Using a lower octane fuel could
cause damage to the engine and create real problems in the future.[Most cars
that require “premium” fuel will say so on the instrument cluster of the
dashboard and over the fuel filler cap.
 Check your owner’s manual or the manufacturer’s website if you’re still unsure
what octane level of fuel your vehicle needs.
 Install a new fuel filter every 40,000 miles. The fuel filter blocks the passage
of dirt and sediment from your fuel tank to the engine itself. To replace the
filter, locate it along the fuel line running from the gas tank to the front of the
car. It will look like a cylinder with a nozzle coming out of the front and back.
Place a container beneath it to catch any leaking fuel, then use a flat head
screwdriver to pop off the clips holding the fuel lines on the nozzles. Loosen
the bracket holding the old fuel filter in place and slide it out.
 Slide the new one into the bracket and tighten it down. Attach the fuel lines to
each nozzle and reinsert the clips to hold them in place.
 If you break the clips, you can buy new ones at your local hardware store.

20. Drain and flush your coolant
 Drain and flush your coolant system once a year. Jack up
the vehicle and place a container beneath the radiator’s
drain plug. Open the drain plug and allow all of the coolant
to pour out.Then close the drain plug again.
 Open the radiator cap at the top of the radiator and fill it
with water, then close the cap and drain it again. Then refill
the radiator with the right coolant for your vehicle. Most
vehicles require a 50/50 water and coolant mixture. You can
usually purchase pre-mixed coolant at your local auto parts
store.
 Check your owner’s manual or a vehicle specific repair
manual to see how much coolant to add and what specific
type of coolant your car needs.

21. Clean Radiator
 Clean your radiator with bug remover when
it gets dirty. Spray radiator bug remover
onto the radiator and allow it to sit for a few
minutes. Don’t touch or scrub the radiator
itself. Touching it may bend the blades or
result in injury since they are sharp. Instead,
allow the bug remover to set for around 2
minutes and then spray it off with a hose.

22. Check damaged belts

Change our worn or damaged belts. Check your belts for signs
of cracking or advanced wear like rub marks. Then, check the
belt’s tension to ensure it hasn’t stretched out. If you spot signs
of damage or the belt doesn’t have enough tension, replace it. I
 Insert a breaker bar into the opening on the auto-tensioner
pulley and turn it counterclockwise if your car is equipped with
one, otherwise, loosen the 2 bolts holding the alternator on the
bracket to relieve the tension on the belt. Slide it off of all the
pulleys then put the new on one in its place.
 Make sure to follow the diagram on the sticker in your engine
bay (or in an application-specific repair manual) when running
the new belt through the pulleys.
 Use the breaker bar on the auto tensioner or apply pressure to
the alternator to add tension to the belt, then release the
tensioner pulley or tighten the alternator bolts in place to keep
the belt tight.

23. Replace the damaged hoses

Replace cracked or damaged hoses. With the hood open, look
over the rubber hoses in the engine bay for any signs of damage.
If you spot a damaged hose, place a drain pan beneath it and
loosen the hose clamps with pliers or a screwdriver
 Remove the hose and take it to your local auto parts store to get
a replacement one of the correct length and interior diameter.
 Install the new hose in place of the old one and re-tighten the
hose clamps.
 Add a 50/50 water and coolant mixture to the coolant reservoir
until it reaches the full line again when you’re done.


24. Method3
Maintaining the Electrical System

Clean your battery contacts once a year. The
connection for your battery can sometimes get
corroded or covered in grime, making it harder for the
electrical current to flow through the car’s system. Use
the correct sized wrench or socket and ratchet to
loosen the bolt holding the negative (-) cable on the
battery, then slide the cable off. Then do the same
with the positive (+) cable. Add 1 tablespoon (13.8 g) of
baking soda to 1 cup (240 ml) of water, then dip a steel
toothbrush in the mixture. Use the brush and mixture
to clean all corrosion and grime off of the battery
posts and the metal connections on the cables.
 Wipe the battery posts clean with a damp rag, then
connect the positive cable to the battery again.
 Reconnect the negative cable last.

25. Replace bulbs
 Test your lights and replace any bulbs that have blown
out. Ask a friend to stand in front of your car while you
turn on your headlight low beams and then high beams.
Then test the left and right turn signals. Next, ask your
friend to move to the back of the car while you test your
brake lights and each turn signal once again.
 You can access blown out headlight bulbs from behind
the headlight housing inside the engine bay. Tail lights
are usually accessed through the inside of the trunk.
 Unplug the wiring pigtail going into your headlight or
taillight, then twist the bulb housing counterclockwise
and pull it backward to remove it. Replace the bulb and
reinsert it.
 If you can’t figure out how to replace a bulb that’s gone
out, refer to the vehicle’s owner’s manual or an
application-specific repair manual for more guidance.

26. Check and replace fuses

Check and replace fuses as they blow out. If some lights go out
in the interior of your car, chances are good that it’s a blown fuse.
Locate the 2 fuse boxes in your car. One is usually near your left
knee when sitting in the driver’s seat and the other is often found
inside the engine bay. Use the diagram on the fuse box lids to
find the right fuse for the lights that went out, then remove that
fuse and replace it with one rated for the same electrical
amperage.
 The number of amps a fuse can withstand is written on the fuse
itself. Make sure the new fuse has the same number written on it
as the blown one you’re replacing.
 If you can’t locate your fuse boxes or they don’t have the
diagram, refer to the owner’s manual or an application specific
repair manual to find the fuse that’s gone out.

27. Replace the spark plugs

Replace your spark plugs every 30,000 miles. Open the hood and locate
the spark plug wires running into the top of the engine. Grip the closest
wire to you low at its base and pull it up to unplug it from the spark plug.
Use a spark plug socket and a ratchet to unscrew the spark plug and pull it
up and out of the engine.
 Gap the new spark plug using a spark plug gapping tool. You’ll find the
correct gap measurement in the vehicle’s owner’s manual or an application
specific repair manual.
 Place the new plug in the spark plug socket and insert it into the engine.
Insert it first by hand and then tighten it with a ratchet.
 Reconnect the spark plug wire and repeat the process for each cylinder.

28. Check tire pressure
 Check your tire pressure and add air when needed. Look at
the side of your tire and find where it says, “max pressure”
followed by a number and the letters “PSI.”
 Then, unscrew the cap on the tire and press a tire gauge
onto the nozzle to see what the pressure inside the tire
actually is.
 If it’s lower than a few PSI (pounds per square inch) below
the maximum rating, use an air compressor to add air to
the tire until it’s within a few PSI of the max.
 Many tire air machines at gas stations have a tire gauge
built into them.
 Low tire pressure can reduce your fuel mileage and cause
your tires to wear out prematurely.

29. Rotate your tires
 Rotate your tires every 5,000 miles. Make sure the tread on
your tires wear evenly by swapping them on the car
periodically. Jack the car up and support its weight with jack
stands, then take the wheel and tire from the rear of the car
and install on the front. Install what was the front wheel
onto the rear.Then do the same on the other side. Front
and rear tires wear differently because the front tires do
most of the braking and turning.
 With some tires, you can swap them from side to side as
well.
 If your tires have directional arrows on the sideway, keep
those arrows pointed toward the front of the car. Do not
swap the tires to the other side

30. Swap out your windshield
wipers

Swapout your windshield wipers when they start to
streak. Windshield wipers are an important piece of safety gear
for your car.
 When they begin to make streaks on your windshield, it means
they need to be replaced. On most cars, you can grab the wiper
and pull it out away from the windshield.
 Then turn the wiper so it is perpendicular to the wiper arm and
slide it down off the arm’s hook to remove it. Slide the new wiper
onto the hook, then rotate it so it is parallel with the wiper arm.
 If you can’t figure out how to remove the wiper blade, refer to
your owner’s manual or an application-specific repair manual.

31. Wax your car
 Wax your car to protect the paint twice per
year. The paint on your car does more than just keep
it looking nice. It also prevents rusting that can lead
to expensive repairs. Wash your car and then apply a
fresh layer of wax to the paint every 6 months to
give it a bit of added protection and stave off any
potential rusting that could develop.
 First wash the car with automotive soap and rinse it
thoroughly. Allow it to dry or dry it with towels.
 Apply the wax to the car’s paint using the provided
applicator in a swirling motion, then wait for it to dry
completely.
 Buff the wax off using a clean chamois cloth.

32. Findings

33. How long can you go without
servicing your car?
 It's important to regularly service your car,
even if the service light isn't on. For some
older cars, you shouldn't go more than six
months without a service1, while modern
vehicles can last around 30,000 kilometres
without needing a service2.

34. What happens when your car gets
serviced?
 When you take a car for servicing, the most
important component involved in thecar
service is changing the engine oil. Besides
changing the engine oil the air filter is either
cleaned or replaced depending on
the car and its requirement. The headlamps,
indicator lights, taillights are checked.

35. What happens if you don't get
an oil change for a long time?
 The most common issue is that the parts in
your engine will become too hot. This can
cause the engine to run less efficiently, and
as time goes on, it can cause the engine
components to warp and wear out. ...
Eventually, if the oil is not changed, the
entire engine will shut down and have to be
replaced.

36. Conclusion and suggestions
 Doing the right kinds of maintenance on your car
will not only help it to hold its value, it will also
help to keep it safe and reliable. Regular car
maintenance involves a wide variety of projects
that may not all be easy to do at home. However,
by understanding what needs to be done to
maintain your car, you can be better equipped to
talk to your local service center about doing the
work your car needs.
