How long does a maintenance service take?

Normal maintenance intervals are every 5000 kilometers or 180 days. Below are detailed explanations about maintenance timing: 1. The maintenance menu data includes corresponding engine oil information. When the oil life indicator shows 0%, it's time for the corresponding maintenance service. 2. When using full synthetic oil, the maintenance interval can be set at 10,000 kilometers or 365 days. This means when the dashboard displays a maintenance reminder, you can manually reset it to zero, and only consider changing the oil when the reminder appears for the second time. 3. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as automobile servicing.
Last time I accompanied my friend for a basic maintenance service, and we actually spent about an hour and a half at the repair shop. The mechanic said that for minor services like oil and filter changes, a skilled technician can indeed complete them within an hour. However, they first need to perform routine checks on the vehicle's lights, tire pressure, and brake pads, as well as use a computer to read fault codes. If they find issues like aging suspension bushings or brake fluid with excessive water content, they have to communicate with the car owner on-site about whether to add additional services. It's recommended to go early in the morning or book a service slot in advance to avoid the afternoon rush hour, which can save a lot of waiting time.
