How many kilometers should the 14th-generation Sylphy go for its first maintenance?
4 Answers
Sylphy's first maintenance is at 1,000 kilometers, and the maintenance interval is 5,000 kilometers. The following are the related items for Sylphy's first maintenance: 1. The first maintenance is very simple, mainly involving changing the engine oil and engine oil filter, followed by a simple inspection of other vehicle components. Engine oil needs to be changed regularly. If the engine oil is not changed for a long time, its lubricating performance will decrease, which will increase engine wear. If the engine oil is left in the oil pan for too long without being changed, it will oxidize and deteriorate, leading to abnormal engine wear. 2. Every time the engine oil is changed, the engine oil filter should also be replaced. The engine oil filter is a crucial component that filters the engine oil to keep it clean. Without an engine oil filter, the engine oil would become very dirty after some time.
When I picked up my 14th-generation Sylphy, the salesperson specifically emphasized that the first maintenance should be done within 1,000 kilometers, mainly for a full vehicle inspection. I drove it to 800 kilometers and went to the 4S shop. The technician tightened all the chassis screws, checked various fluid levels, and even tested the battery. Free services are always worth taking advantage of, especially for a new car in its initial break-in period—you never know where minor issues might pop up. Oil and filter changes are only needed after six months or 5,000 kilometers, but I usually go about 300 kilometers early. After all, more inspections are better than dealing with problems later. Just remember not to exceed the manufacturer-recommended maintenance intervals, or it might cause warranty issues down the line.
My colleague has been driving his Sylphy for two years now, and his experience is that the first maintenance should not be delayed beyond 3,000 kilometers. When a new car leaves the factory, its components need to break in, and some metal debris can mix into the engine oil, making the first inspection particularly crucial. He suggests that after picking up the car, you should drive about 300-400 kilometers and then go to the 4S shop for a preliminary check, focusing on the brake system and suspension. Tires also need attention—during my first maintenance, I found uneven tire pressure, which almost caused a problem. After the first maintenance, you can wait until six months or 5,000 kilometers for an oil change, but always pay attention to the dashboard alerts. Friends who drive more frequently can schedule maintenance a bit earlier, and those who frequently drive on highways should check more often.
My Sylphy's first maintenance was done at 1,000 kilometers, and the 4S dealership focused on checking core components like the engine and transmission. The technician mentioned that the first 2,000 kilometers are particularly crucial for a new car—avoid turning the steering wheel to its limit and refrain from sudden braking. The free inspection items for the first maintenance include over 20 checks, and remember to ask the technician to upgrade the vehicle's computer system while at it. The optimal time for an oil change is after three months or 5,000 kilometers of driving—whichever comes first. Always set maintenance reminders in advance, and installing the Nissan Connect app on your phone makes it very convenient.
