How Long Does a Minor Maintenance Take?

[LeAriana]

Generally speaking, the car maintenance cycle is every 5,000 or 10,000 kilometers or every six months, depending on the effective time or mileage of the engine oil and oil filter used in the car. The validity periods of mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil of different brand grades are also different. Regular maintenance is divided into the following aspects: 1. Engine oil: Every 5,000-10,000 kilometers is the best replacement cycle. If the replacement cycle is too long, it will cause wear inside the engine. In addition, vehicles used less frequently should have their oil changed every six months, as the oil will deteriorate over time and can no longer protect the engine. 2. Oil filter: If the filter becomes dirty, even if the oil is changed, its effectiveness will be reduced. It is very effective to replace the oil filter at the same time as the oil. 3. Antifreeze: When traveling in cold regions, do not forget to increase the concentration of antifreeze. Generally, the antifreeze concentration is about 30%. To prevent freezing, an optimal guarantee of 40-50% is required.
