How Many Kilometers for Car Maintenance?
2 Answers
Generally, cars require maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. Below are the relevant details about car maintenance: 1. Taking domestic cars as an example, the first maintenance is usually at 4,000-5,000 kilometers or 3 months, whichever comes first. 2. The second maintenance is calculated based on the oil change interval. The first maintenance time plus semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil determines the mileage for the second maintenance, and so on. 3. Regular maintenance items mainly include the replacement of engine oil and oil filter, air filter, gasoline filter, and pollen filter, as well as the maintenance and replacement of spark plugs, transmission oil, and related system inspection and maintenance items.
As a car owner with years of driving experience, I'm used to servicing my car every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers, depending on the specific situation. New cars usually require maintenance every 7,500 to 10,000 kilometers, such as oil changes and tire checks; but if you frequently drive long distances or in dusty areas, it's better to shorten the interval to 5,000 kilometers to avoid engine problems. Older cars require even more attention—last time I exceeded the service mileage, the spark plugs burned out, costing me a lot in repairs. Regular maintenance not only extends the car's lifespan but also improves fuel efficiency. I recommend referring to the owner's manual and adjusting based on actual driving conditions—don't delay it for too long.
