Automobile second maintenance is generally at 10,000 kilometers. Below are the details of the second maintenance and the functions of automobile maintenance: Second maintenance items: Replace the three filters: oil filter, air filter, and cabin air filter; check fluids: inspect whether brake fluid, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid need replacement; inspect external components: check brake pads, tires, shock absorbers, and suspension; inspect internal components: examine spark plugs, throttle body, and fuel supply system; other inspections: rotate front and rear wheels, and perform routine checks on lights and battery. Note that the second maintenance does not require additional replacements or cleaning, such as engine cleaning. Functions of automobile maintenance: The functions of automobile maintenance are to maintain a clean and tidy vehicle appearance, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.
I remember the first maintenance for a new GSX250R is around 1,000 kilometers, focusing on checking run-in period issues. The second maintenance is recommended at approximately 5,000 kilometers. Why this mileage? Because Suzuki's design considers the engine operation cycle—by this point, the oil begins to degrade, and the oil filter may get clogged. Failing to change the oil in time can lead to excessive engine wear or increased fuel consumption. Additionally, it's essential to check the chain tension, brake system wear, and tire pressure, as these directly affect handling safety. I've personally experienced the consequences of delayed maintenance—a loose chain nearly caused an accident, so never postpone it. After riding for a while, I found that regular maintenance extends the bike's lifespan, saving both hassle and money. It's best to visit an authorized service center for maintenance—they know the model specifics and can get it done in about an hour, costing just a few hundred bucks, which is far more economical than major repairs.
