Car should undergo the second maintenance after half a year or around 5,000 kilometers. The items for the second maintenance include: 1. Replace engine oil and oil filter; 2. Replace air filter and cabin air filter; 3. Add windshield washer fluid, antifreeze, and air conditioning refrigerant; 4. Replace transmission fluid, power steering fluid, clutch fluid, and differential fluid; 5. Check if the tire pressure is normal; 6. Inspect the chassis and suspension for any abnormal oil leakage or looseness; 7. Check the wear condition of the brake pads. The functions of car maintenance are: 1.

My car's second maintenance was done at around 10,000 kilometers. The first maintenance is usually at 5,000 kilometers, and the interval for the second maintenance is similar to the first. I remember last time at the 4S shop, the technician said that depending on the car model, some vehicles can extend the second maintenance to 15,000 kilometers, especially those using full synthetic oil. I usually refer to the maintenance manual. The Toyota manual states the second maintenance at 10,000 kilometers, but my friend's Volkswagen 4S shop advised him to go at 8,000 kilometers. It's recommended to check your own user manual. Don't forget to change the engine oil and oil filter during the second maintenance, and it's best to have them check the brake pads and tire wear, as these directly relate to driving safety.

What is the fuel consumption of the Sehol X8 per 100 kilometers?

The official fuel consumption of the Sehol X8 is 7.2 liters per 100 kilometers. The actual fuel consumption may vary slightly depending on individual driving habits and skills. A smoother driving style generally results in lower fuel consumption, while aggressive driving behaviors such as frequent acceleration and overtaking at high RPMs can increase fuel consumption. Here are some tips to save fuel: 1. Maintain a steady speed: Control your speed and avoid sudden braking. 2. Avoid opening windows at high speeds: Opening windows at high speeds can increase fuel consumption. 3. Regularly check tire pressure: Ensure your tires are properly inflated, as both underinflation and overinflation can increase fuel consumption. 4. Maintain the transmission: Always use the correct transmission fluid for your vehicle, as it not only lubricates but also helps transmit torque. Regular replacement is essential.
