How Many Kilometers Between Each Accord Maintenance?
2 Answers
According to the maintenance manual, the maintenance interval for the Accord is every 5,000 kilometers. Here is an introduction to car maintenance: 1. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. 2. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down deterioration, and extend the service life. 3. Car maintenance can be divided into minor maintenance and major maintenance.
I've been driving the 10th-generation Accord for three years and have a clear understanding of the maintenance cycle. The official manual states to service it every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, whichever comes first. However, if you frequently use it for short urban commutes with repeated cold starts, I recommend checking the engine oil condition at 4,000 kilometers. For my 1.5T engine, it's essential to use 0W-20 full synthetic oil at every service—the 4S shop's bulk oil is adequate, but bringing your own Idemitsu or Eneos would be better. Focus on three key points: replace the oil when acceleration feels noticeably sluggish after oil degradation or when auto start-stop vibrations increase; change the air filter every other service; and test the brake fluid's moisture content every two years.
