2 Answers
Buick LaCrosse maintenance cycle is 5,000 kilometers. Here are the relevant details: Introduction to Car Maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of a car, also known as car servicing. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance scope of the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean and tidy, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. Car Maintenance Items: Car maintenance items generally refer to major maintenance and minor maintenance. Major maintenance refers to the routine maintenance carried out at the time or mileage specified by the manufacturer, including the replacement of engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. Minor maintenance refers to the routine maintenance items performed at the time or mileage specified by the manufacturer to ensure vehicle performance after the car has traveled a certain distance. It mainly includes the replacement of engine oil and oil filter.
I've been driving the LaCrosse for three years, and maintenance really depends on how you use it. The manual says to service every 5,000 km, but I use full synthetic oil and go 8,000-10,000 km between services. The key is driving conditions: if you're often stuck in city traffic, service more frequently. Since I drive mostly on highways, I can extend the interval. Last time, the mechanic mentioned that newer models have a smart reminder system—a wrench icon pops up on the dashboard, which is more reliable than just tracking mileage. Here’s a tip: don’t just change the oil; it’s best to check the cabin air filter before summer, especially in northern areas with lots of willow catkins.
