Do I need maintenance if the car only runs 2000 kilometers a year?

Even if the car only runs 2000 kilometers a year, maintenance is still necessary. Car maintenance cycle: The maintenance cycle of a car is set at the time of production, so the "wrench" indicator will appear after a certain mileage to remind the driver to perform maintenance in time. Typically, the maintenance cycle for a car is every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers driven, and the original factory setting is usually more than 8,000 kilometers. Regular maintenance items: Engine oil maintenance: Engine oil, also known as lubricating oil, can reduce engine wear and also has the effects of cooling and lubrication. There are three types of engine oil: Full synthetic oil: needs to be replaced every 10,000-12,000 kilometers. If the car is not driven frequently, the oil may emulsify and lose its effectiveness, so it should be replaced after about a year. Semi-synthetic oil: needs to be replaced every 8,000-10,000 kilometers. Mineral oil: needs to be replaced every 5,000 kilometers.
