If there is a clip around the white powdery substance, the battery is corroded and you can remove it. Just baking soda, water and a toothbrush. When checking the battery level, it is considered appropriate if the liquid level is between the upper and lower engraved lines.

The experts remind you that if the liquid level is insufficient, you can unscrew the cover on the battery and pour distilled water to make up the liquid level.

According to different seasons, car maintenance experts recommend replacing the oil every 3,000 kilometers or once every three months.
