How many kilometers does the Emgrand GS need maintenance?
3 Answers
The Emgrand GS requires maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. Maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. The Emgrand GS is a compact SUV under Geely. Taking the 2020 Emgrand GS as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4440mm, width 1833mm, height 1573mm, wheelbase 2700mm, and fuel tank capacity 55L. The 2020 Emgrand GS is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 104kW and a maximum torque of 235Nm, matched with a 6-speed manual transmission. Its front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
My Emgrand GS had its first service at just 5,000 km. Both the dealer and manual recommended an initial interval between 3,000 to 5,000 km, with subsequent services every 5,000 km being the safest approach. In city traffic with frequent stop-start driving, engine oil degrades and gets contaminated faster. Early maintenance helps protect the engine and prolong its lifespan. During long trips, I always monitor speed and fuel consumption changes. Regular oil/filter changes and brake fluid inspections prevent unexpected breakdowns on the road. Remember to check your specific model's requirements in the manual - maintenance specs might vary slightly across model years. Timely servicing saves money and hassle while keeping your car running smoothly.
I've owned the Emgrand GS for a few months. When purchasing the car, the after-sales service reminded me that the first maintenance should be done within 5,000 kilometers or six months, followed by maintenance every approximately 5,000 kilometers. I commute daily in the city where the air quality is poor with lots of dust, so I change the filters a bit earlier. Maintenance includes oil changes, tire checks, and lighting system inspections—simple yet crucial. Don't wait until the warning light comes on to fix issues; make it a habit to check the manual regularly to confirm intervals. This can reduce engine carbon buildup and maintain normal fuel consumption levels.
