How long is the second maintenance for a car?
2 Answers
Car second maintenance is around 10,000 kilometers or 9 months, the maintenance items include: 1. Replace engine oil, oil filter, clean air filter, check whether the generator belt and wiper blades are damaged; 2. Check whether the levels of various fluids are normal; 3. Inspect whether the tire pressure is normal, and whether the tires have uneven wear, bulges, or damage; 4. Check whether the car chassis is normal, including whether the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and CV joints are scratched. The benefits of maintenance include: 1. Ensuring the vehicle is in excellent performance condition; 2. Improving the vehicle's efficiency and reducing the consumption of its parts and tires; 3. Increasing driving safety; 4. Avoiding vehicle problems that may lead to danger; 5. Reducing noise and environmental pollution; 6. Keeping the vehicle's appearance clean and preventing damage.
The timing for the second car maintenance is quite flexible, primarily depending on two indicators: either after driving approximately 10,000 kilometers or around six months after the first maintenance. For example, my Honda had its first maintenance at 3,000 kilometers last time, and the 4S shop immediately placed a reminder sticker indicating the next maintenance should be in six months or after 5,000 kilometers. Currently, I drive less, covering only 6,000 kilometers in six months, so I decisively followed the time-based schedule. I recommend keeping a close eye on these two conditions—don’t just focus on the mileage. Even if you drive less, the engine oil can oxidize and deteriorate after six months, and prolonged parking might actually harm the car. It’s most convenient to contact the 4S shop in advance for an appointment. Some brand apps even send automatic reminders.
