How many kilometers should Changan Oushang be serviced at intervals?
4 Answers
Changan Oushang requires maintenance every three months or 5,000 kilometers. Changan Oushang is a passenger car under the Changan Automobile brand. Taking the Changan Oushang A800 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4810mm, width 1795mm, height 1750mm, with a wheelbase of 2760mm. The Changan Oushang A800 is equipped with an intelligent remote control system, PM2.5 air filtration system, inCall 3.1 vehicle intelligent connectivity system, and intelligent voice recognition system. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.
I just picked up my Changan Oushang recently, and maintenance is crucial. The salesperson suggested the first service around 5,000 kilometers, covering basic items like oil and filter changes. After that, regular maintenance is typically every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers, depending on the model's manual. Mine is a city commuter car with frequent traffic jams, putting more strain on the engine, so I usually schedule a check-up at the 4S shop around 7,000 kilometers to prevent carbon buildup. Timing is also key—service every six months to avoid fluid degradation, not just focusing on mileage. Driving habits affect intervals; if you drive less on highways or frequently take short trips, servicing earlier ensures peace of mind and avoids costly repairs from unexpected breakdowns.
As a car enthusiast, I know that Changan Oushang's maintenance standards mostly range from 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers. The new car manual recommends an initial 5,000-kilometer service to lay the foundation. Synthetic oil is suitable for extending the interval to over 8,000 kilometers, but if the road conditions are poor or you frequently drive on mountain roads, it should be shortened to around 6,000 kilometers. Personally, I suggest paying attention to oil pressure and brake system checks. If you notice sluggish acceleration or increased fuel consumption during daily use, it might be a signal to service the car earlier. Don’t overlook seasonal changes—high temperatures in summer can degrade oil quality faster, so more frequent maintenance is advisable. Safe driving relies on timely maintenance.
Over the years of driving the Changan Oushan, I've made it a habit to service it every 7,500 kilometers, while the official manual suggests a range between 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers. However, my experience has shown that for frequent city driving with constant starts and stops, where engine wear is accelerated, changing the oil at 5,000 kilometers is optimal. Time-wise, it's essential to check within six months; otherwise, the oil degrades and affects performance. Long-term use without proper maintenance can easily lead to burnt-out parts. My old neighbor learned this the hard way by lazily extending service intervals, resulting in costly engine overhauls. Now, he reminds me to regularly replace the air filter to save fuel and prolong the vehicle's lifespan.
