Can a China V vehicle be driven for ten years? Here are some maintenance tips for your car: 1. Precautions: 1) Use higher-quality fuel, as it burns more efficiently, reducing fuel consumption while extending the engine's lifespan. 2) Change the engine oil and clean the fuel lines regularly to prevent carbon buildup and blockages that could affect engine performance. 2. Maintenance: 1) Inspect tires regularly to ensure they are in good condition and prevent safety hazards. Generally, the recommended tire pressure is around 2.5 bar. Replace tires when the tread wears down to the level of the triangular wear indicator. 2) For car maintenance, it's best to visit a 4S shop or a large professional repair shop. Although the cost may be higher, the quality of service is more reliable. 3) Avoid aggressive acceleration and braking while driving, as harsh driving can damage the car's engine.
When it comes to driving a China 5 emission standard vehicle for ten years, it really depends on how you use it. Take my family's China 5 SUV as an example - it's been running for almost eight years now. As long as regular maintenance is done on time, there have been no issues with the three major components (engine, transmission, and chassis). It passes annual inspections in one go, with emissions fully compliant. However, you need to pay attention to future policy changes. Major cities like Beijing and Shanghai have already started restricting high-emission vehicles from entering urban areas. If you live in these places, driving it for ten years might be a bit uncertain. I recommend checking the catalytic converter annually to ensure exhaust emissions meet standards. Fuel consumption remains stable on highways too. From the current perspective, driving it for another three or four years is completely fine, but policies eight years from now are hard to predict.
