Routine Truck Inspection And Maintenance

1. Check the tire surface and air pressure

It is normal for tires to wear when driving. If there is severe tire wear or irregular wear, there may be a problem with the wheel alignment or worn front-end components, so regular inspections are needed. Additionally, low tire pressure accelerates wear while increasing fuel consumption. To extend the life of your tires, you should check your tire pressure regularly and inflate it to the pressure recommended by the manufacturer.

2. Check the braking system

The brake system is a critical component of your truck and must be inspected frequently to ensure it is functioning properly. For example, check whether the brake pads and brake discs are worn, whether the brake fluid is sufficient, etc.

3. Check the engine cooling system

Your truck's engine cooling system must remain functioning properly to prevent overheating. Therefore, it is very important to regularly check the level and concentration of coolant and replace it in time.

Maintenance Four Steps

1. Pay attention to cleanliness, standardization and authenticity

The engine is the heart of the car, and the quality of the engine directly determines the service life of the car. Engine maintenance requires attention to the following three aspects: First, ensure that the engine's air, fuel, oil and coolant are kept clean. Second, standard operating procedures must be followed when performing engine maintenance and repairs. Third, use spare parts designated or approved by Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles during maintenance and repair, and avoid the use of counterfeit and shoddy products.

2. Tire maintenance

As an important part of a truck, tires are also very important to maintain. Check your tires' air pressure and wear regularly to make sure they have good grip and a smooth ride. If the tires are excessively worn, they need to be replaced with new tires in time to ensure driving safety.

3. Replace the air filter

An air filter prevents dust and impurities from clinging to your truck's engine and causing damage to it. Therefore, it is recommended to check and replace the air filter regularly to keep the engine clean and ensure normal air flow.

4. Post-treatment system maintenance

The essence of national VI diesel engine after-treatment maintenance is to prevent abnormal damage to DOC, DPF and SCR. Using inferior fuel, substandard engine oil or using inferior urea for a long time will cause damage to the after-treatment system. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation of the vehicle, please use National VI standard fuel from formal channels, use engine oil and urea recommended by Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles, and avoid using inferior products to protect the normal operation of the after-treatment system.

Vehicle maintenance work is closely related to its service life, safety performance, etc. Do a good job in daily maintenance work to increase driving safety!
