How many kilometers should a car run before maintenance?
1 Answers
Different car components have different maintenance intervals, which can be categorized as follows: 1. Engine oil (lubricant)/oil filter. For normal models, replacement is required every 5,000 kilometers or six months. If full synthetic oil is used, the interval can be extended up to 8,000 kilometers. If the car hasn't reached 5,000 kilometers, the oil and oil filter should be replaced at least every six months. 2. Replace the air filter and cabin air filter. The air filter and cabin air filter should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers or two years. In areas with harsh climate conditions or high dust levels, this interval should be shortened to one year. 3. Replace the fuel filter, brake fluid, and transmission fluid. Taking Japanese and Korean models with shorter maintenance cycles as an example, a "major service" is required every 40,000 kilometers. In addition to the aforementioned replacements, this includes changing the fuel filter and all brake fluid.
