After the first maintenance of a car, the second maintenance should be performed after driving another 5,000 kilometers. Below are the relevant details: 1. After the second maintenance, maintenance is required every 5,000 kilometers. 2. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. 3. The preventive work involves regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. The purpose is to keep the car clean and tidy, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. The content and requirements of car maintenance are clearly specified in the car's user manual and are mandatory to a certain extent.
I've always been mindful of maintenance schedules since buying my car. The first service is typically recommended at 5,000 kilometers or six months, while the second service depends on the specific model and driving habits. From my experience, if you drive frequently under complex conditions like constant traffic jams or highway driving, you should consider the second service between 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers. If the car sits idle in the garage for over seven or eight months, even if the mileage hasn't been reached, it's time for maintenance as the engine oil can deteriorate. The dashboard maintenance reminder light is a clear signal—don't delay. The 4S shop recommends using genuine engine oil, and after the second service, you'll noticeably feel smoother engine sounds and more stable fuel consumption. Remember to service on time, especially for new cars still under warranty, to avoid future repair disputes and out-of-pocket expenses.
