How long can a car go without maintenance after one service?
1 Answers
Cars typically require maintenance every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers, while some models may need servicing every 5,000 kilometers. Based on an average annual mileage of 20,000 kilometers for family vehicles, maintenance should be performed every 5 to 6 months, meaning at least twice a year. Below are some key points about car maintenance: 1. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle. 2. Car maintenance is divided into major and minor services. Minor maintenance mainly involves changing the engine oil and oil filter, while major maintenance includes replacing parts such as the engine oil filter, air filter, and cabin air filter. As for components like spark plugs, brake fluid, and transmission fluid, there is no fixed mileage for replacement; refer to the vehicle's maintenance manual for guidance.
