Does exceeding the maintenance mileage by a few hundred kilometers have any impact?
1 Answers
Yes. Exceeding the oil change mileage can lead to deteriorated oil fluidity and altered viscosity properties, resulting in insufficient lubrication for the engine, increased wear, and higher fuel consumption. Opting for high-quality oil (such as fully synthetic or imported GT oil) can offer better cost-performance and extend the maintenance interval. Additional information is as follows: 1. Car maintenance considerations: Besides checking the tires, special attention should be paid to the oil viscosity during seasonal maintenance. It is recommended that car owners consider seasonal changes when selecting engine oil, as oil viscosity varies with temperature—higher in winter and lower in summer. 2. Other tips: In hotter regions and seasons, it is advisable to choose oil with slightly higher viscosity. Conversely, in colder weather, oil with lower viscosity can be used.
