1 Answers
Typically, Japanese and Korean car models have a maintenance cycle of 5,000 kilometers, while European and American models mostly exceed 7,500 kilometers or even 15,000 kilometers. Here are the specifics about maintenance: 1. Generally, exceeding the maintenance period by 500 kilometers or even 1,000 kilometers is not a problem. However, during the car's warranty period, it is essential to strictly adhere to the maintenance manual's guidelines. Otherwise, the 4S dealership may refuse free warranty repairs or claims for issues arising during the warranty period due to overdue maintenance. 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.
