How many kilometers for the first maintenance of Accord?
3 Answers
Honda Accord's first maintenance is at 5000 kilometers. The following is a related introduction to the first car maintenance: 1. The concept of first car maintenance: The first car maintenance means the first maintenance of the car, generally the vehicle is 5000 kilometers/6 months. Many brand 4S stores shorten the customer's maintenance cycle and remind customers to do maintenance at 3000 kilometers/3 months. The two values are based on whichever comes first. 2. Precautions for the first car maintenance: Check the car brake and whether the chassis parts are scratched. Check whether the oil level of the power steering oil is normal and whether there is oil leakage at each oil pipe interface. Check the aging and tightness of the generator, air conditioner, water pump and belt. Check the tire pressure and wear condition, and if there is wear, perform tire rotation.
Last time when I accompanied my friend to pick up the Accord, I specifically asked about this. The manufacturer recommends the first maintenance at 5,000 kilometers or 3 months, and it's advisable not to exceed this interval. The key point of the first maintenance is to change the engine oil and oil filter, as the new engine break-in period generates metal debris. My experienced friends all do it in advance at 4,000 kilometers, and they suggest not revving the engine too hard during the break-in period. Never delay the first maintenance, otherwise it may affect subsequent warranty rights. Remember to bring the maintenance manual, as the dealership needs to register and stamp it. Pay attention to the oil dipstick during daily driving, and if the oil appears black or the level is low, go for maintenance earlier.
The old Accord at home has run 150,000 kilometers and is still running strong. The first maintenance is particularly crucial. The 4S shop stipulates that the first maintenance should be done at 5,000 kilometers or 3 months, whichever comes first, and exceeding this will require self-payment. The first maintenance is not just about changing the oil; the mechanic will also check the tire pressure and brake pads throughout the car. In the first few months of driving a new car, avoid stomping on the accelerator and keep the RPM below 3,000. If the oil light on the dashboard lights up before the first maintenance, go to the shop immediately and don't push it. Bring the purchase invoice, as some shops need to verify the information. After maintenance, the fuel consumption will drop a bit, so don't be surprised.
