How long does it generally take to drive 40,000 kilometers?

40,000 kilometers generally takes three to four years to drive. Regulations: It is best not to exceed 40,000 kilometers for the first transmission oil change, as the break-in period of a new car will produce relatively more metal shavings and impurities, increasing wear between transmission gears. Subsequent changes can be extended to around 60,000 kilometers. Some automatic transmission manufacturers specify maintenance-free or shorter oil change intervals, so please follow the mileage specified by the manufacturer for maintenance. Requirements: Brake fluid and power steering fluid. For family vehicles driving 20,000 kilometers per year, 40,000 kilometers would take two years. Since brake fluid is hygroscopic and can develop vapor lock under extreme conditions, reducing braking efficiency and increasing driving risks, it is recommended to replace it every two years.
I'm an ordinary office worker who drives to commute and pick up family members. How long does it take to drive 40,000 km? It really depends on personal driving habits. For example, my daily commute is about 40 km, and I often take my family out on weekends, averaging around 300 km per week. Calculated this way, 40,000 km would take about 133 weeks, roughly 2 and a half years. However, if you only drive in congested city traffic with lower average speeds, it might take longer. Highway driving is faster, such as long-distance road trips, which can accumulate mileage more quickly. There's also the issue of car wear and tear—the faster you drive, the greater the wear on components, so it's essential to regularly check tire pressure and engine oil. Maintaining a steady speed can extend your vehicle's lifespan and save fuel.
