How many kilometers does a car need a major maintenance?

[Hattie]

Generally, when a vehicle reaches 30,000 kilometers, it requires a major maintenance, which includes replacing components such as engine oil and oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, power steering fluid, and spark plugs. Below is relevant information about car maintenance: 1. Maintenance intervals: The first maintenance for a car is typically at 5,000 kilometers or six months, and the second maintenance is usually at 10,000 kilometers or one year. 2. Maintenance content: For the first maintenance, special attention must be paid to core components, such as the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and chassis.

As an experienced driver, I can tell you that you shouldn't rigidly follow mileage for major maintenance. For regular commuter cars, the first major maintenance at 40,000-60,000 km is appropriate, but vehicles frequently driven at high speeds may need transmission fluid checks as early as 30,000 km. I remember last time when I drove a Japanese car on mountain roads, the differential oil had turned black when changing brake pads at 40,000 km. Modern cars have smart reminders now, but it's best to develop a habit of checking chassis rubber bushings every six months - rubber components age more deceptively than odometers.
