When I opened the Regal GS to the door of the 4S shop, it traveled 2,285 kilometers, waiting for the first maintenance. The Regal GS Maintenance Manual stipulates that the new car will be serviced for the first time within 3 months or within 3,000 km of the purchase. I don't know when it was purchased, but its mileage is already close to 3,000 kilometers. In order to ensure that it has the perfect state, I have to maintain it in advance, and it is always better than the expiration.

The mileage of Regal GS First Insurance is less than 3,000 kilometers, and the mileage of Second Insurance is less than 8000 kilometers. The first and second guarantees of Regal GS are free. Don't miss the mileage or time of Regal GS's first and second guarantees. If you miss it, 4S shop has the right to not provide free maintenance.

I parked the car in front of the Buick 4S store in Guangwu, and the service consultant immediately greeted me and asked what services I needed. Informed that it is maintenance, I will give the key to the reception staff, and then follow the service consultant to enter the store to submit maintenance information.

Before I arrived at the reception desk, the service consultant verified the vehicle information (requires driving license and maintenance manual) and related maintenance procedures, and then printed the work order. The first insurance to replace the oil, machine filter and routine inspection will do; the first guarantee of Regal GS is free.

After finishing the formalities, I will wait in the customer lounge area. The customer's rest area of ​​Guangwu Junhao is relatively large, and the types of services are relatively complete. The rest area includes: tea break area, children's play area, film and television area, internet area and massage area, etc. The rest area also covers Wifi. My colleague Wu Weishuo ( click to enter Wu Weishuo's blog ) also experienced the massage seat there, he said that it is very comfortable and very enjoyable.

There is a maintenance status board at the top of the lounge, and the owner can watch the status board to know the time required for his car repair. There is also a large glass window in the internet area. The owner can see the maintenance workshop through the glass window. If your vehicle is just arranged close to the window for maintenance, you can see the whole maintenance process of your car.

In order to show you the entire process of Regal GS maintenance, I can't stay in the rest area all day, and I need to experience it at close range. Therefore, I slipped into the pit lane and took the entire maintenance process. When I entered the repair shop, Regal GS was already at the station, waiting for the maintenance of the first model.

Subsequently, the vehicle was lifted by the lift, and the purpose of lifting it was to let go of the old engine oil, and the old engine oil was discharged from the oil pan.

Because, before doing maintenance, we first took the chassis of Regal GS. (Regular GS chassis analysis) When the chassis was photographed, the service technician had carefully checked the condition of the chassis. After driving more than 2,000 kilometers, the chassis did not find any abnormalities.

The accessories required for this maintenance: three cans of Mobil 1 full synthetic motor oil, one can 4L and 2 cans 1L, the Regal GS2.0T engine requires 6L of oil; 1 oil filter. The first insurance only needs to change the oil and oil filter, and the air filter and air filter do not need to be replaced.

After the oil has been drained, remove the car from the lift and then replace the oil filter before adding new oil. First replace the oil filter. Regal GS is the same as other models of Regal. It uses a split oil filter. The outer casing is fixed. Just remove the oil filter cover, remove the oil filter and seal, and replace it with a new oil filter and seal. Circle, then re-install it.

The amount of oil that Regal GS maintains every time is about 5.6L, but 4S shop will require 6 liters of oil, 1 can of 4L and 2 cans of 1L of Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil, the price of 4S shop is 395.35 Yuan / 4L and 101.25 yuan / L. The air filter and air conditioning filter will not be replaced until 20,000 kilometers. The first maintenance only needs to change the oil and machine filter.

After adding the oil, the technician began to check the amount of oil, wiper fluid, brake fluid, battery and piping. It is common for the first to add wiper fluid, but it is clear water and there is no wiper.

After the engine compartment maintenance process is completed, the technician begins to check the vehicle's lights, vehicle information, and so on.

After checking the contents of the vehicle lights and information lights, the service technician began to check the air pressure of the four tires, found that the tire pressure was insufficient, and then inflated the four tires according to the factory-specified air pressure.

After the first operation of the first insurance, I went out to rest in the rest hall. When I saw the Regal GS again, it was cleanly placed in the door of the 4S shop. The Regal GS is free for every maintenance. Send a car wash service. When I entered the car, I also saw the time and mileage of the next maintenance in the upper left corner of the windshield. Service intimate!

Regal GS 2.0T Indulge sports version of the first insurance only replace the oil and oil filter, plus working hours, the total price of the first insurance is 671.23 yuan. The material and working hours are as shown in the above table. The first working time is only 30 yuan, which is really cheap. Of course, Regal GS enjoys the policy of the first and second guarantees free of charge, and the owner of the fee does not have to pay for it.

Summary of this article:

The maintenance process of Regal GS is roughly as described above. The maintenance cost is mainly to replace the fully synthetic motor oil. The price of the Mobil 6L fully synthetic motor oil accounts for the majority of the total maintenance price. If the price of replacing the fully synthetic motor oil is removed, the maintenance price of the Regal GS can bring the Japanese car PK down. The 2.0T engine has higher engine oil requirements, but the better quality engine oil has a good effect on the performance and maintenance of the car. (Photo / text: Pan Chunfan)
