All kinds of car filters are included in an article, and maintenance does not cost money
There are 4 kinds of filter elements on the car, air, air conditioning, oil, gasoline. The first two filter the air, the last two filter the oil. Every time maintenance, 4S shops and auto repair factories will always recommend that the owner replace this and that filter element. Most of the owners are very confused, do not understand the basis for this thing to change or not to change, and do not know the price of this thing. First of all, the most frequently changed oil filter, each oil change must change an oil filter. Don't ask if you can't change the oil without changing the filter, then why change the oil? Therefore, the oil filter must be changed every time maintenance! The price of the filter element, from 25 to 50 yuan, is not too expensive, unless the car itself is expensive, then it will not exceed 100 pieces. Oil filter is not complicated, generally divided into two kinds, one is the original car with an oil filter box, only change the middle of the paper filter, the cost is low, because it is a standard part, many cars can be common. The other is aluminum filter, there is a circle of aluminum shell outside, the middle or paper filter, it is simpler to change, the vast majority of family cars are aluminum filters.
Gasoline filter element, steam filter is used to filter gasoline, two kinds, external and built-in. The external gasoline filter is generally replaced once 20,000 kilometers, and the built-in gasoline filter is generally replaced once 40,000 kilometers. There are impurities in gasoline, and the car has been used for a long time, and a lot of impurities will be deposited under the tank, like soil particles. Therefore, the steam filter should be replaced regularly. The replacement of the external filter element is easy, and the two screws are screwed, but the replacement of the built-in gasoline filter element is more complicated. You even need to lift the fuel tank, and if you're in a four-wheel-drive suv, the rear axle has to land. In this case, it takes up to four hours to change the gasoline filter.
Generally speaking, the external gasoline filter element ranges from 50 to 200 yuan, the price is not high, the working hour charge is up to 1 working hour, and the general charge is 0.6 to 0.8 working hours. The built-in gasoline filter depends on whether only the filter is changed or whether the oil float is changed together. Only change the filter element, there is little difference with the external, if you take the oil float, then 300 yuan.
Talk about the hourly rate. According to the requirements of the model and the local price bureau, the standard of working hours of each brand is different, in general, 50~300 yuan, a working hour of domestic models 50 yuan, Korean cars are generally 80 yuan a working hour, Volkswagen Toyota such a first-line joint venture, 100~120 yuan a working hour, the auto repair industry mouth "big car", that is, more than 300,000 this grade of joint venture car, The working hour fee is 150~200 yuan, and the imported car is generally 300 yuan a working hour or more. If it is a built-in gasoline filter, it depends on the difficulty of the operation, just mentioned that if you want to drop the tank and the rear axle, collect 500 yuan for working hours, the master is not necessarily willing to do. So do it according to your own model. Before changing, be sure to ask whether your filter element is external or built-in, only change the filter element, or change it with the oil float. This place is easy to be fooled by 4S shops and auto repair factories.
Air filter element, 10,000 kilometers to change once, the longest, 15,000 kilometers to change.
