How Many Kilometers Should the Honda Avancier Be Serviced?
3 Answers
Honda Avancier's first maintenance is at 3 months or 5,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, followed by maintenance every 6 months or 5,000 kilometers. A major service for the Honda Avancier is performed every 40,000 kilometers. At 20,000 kilometers, maintenance includes the replacement of engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and cabin air filter, along with some routine inspections. Below is more information on car maintenance: 1. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. Modern car maintenance mainly includes 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, in normal technical condition, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. 2. Notes on Honda Avancier maintenance: The gasoline filter and air filter are replaced every 10,000 kilometers, while the cabin air filter is replaced every year or around 20,000 kilometers. At 40,000 kilometers, a full fluid replacement is required. During each maintenance, the transmission should be inspected. Although transmission oil does not need to be replaced, the transmission fluid level should be checked regularly, and non-original oil should not be used for replacement. Spark plugs should be inspected at 40,000 kilometers and replaced at 80,000 kilometers.
I used to follow the manual and perform minor maintenance on my Crown every 5,000 kilometers, mainly changing the oil and oil filter as basic items. The 4S dealership suggested this interval is the most reliable since they understand Honda engine characteristics well. However, it depends on specific conditions - for example, I often drive on highways so I might stretch it to 6,000 km, but friends who frequently encounter traffic jams should consider doing it earlier. Full synthetic oil can last longer, but the first maintenance must be done on time to deal with break-in debris. Make it a habit to regularly check tire pressure and brake pads, and take a quick look at whether chassis screws are loose - these small details can prevent major issues. Remember not to push the mileage too hard; timely maintenance is much cheaper than engine repairs.
I've been driving this Honda Avancier for four years, and the maintenance intervals have been adjusted continuously. For the first two years, I strictly followed the 5,000 km service schedule at the dealership. Later, after switching to full synthetic oil, I extended it to 7,500 km. The key is your driving conditions: if you frequently drive on dusty construction sites, change the air filter more often; if you're mostly stuck in city traffic, change the engine oil every six months regardless of mileage. Learning basic DIY checks is quite useful – check the dipstick color monthly; if it turns black, it's time for a change. Rear differential fluid and brake fluid should be replaced at 40,000 km as per the manual, while I changed the transmission fluid at 60,000 km. Don't blindly trust dealership recommendations – they have sales targets and may push unnecessary cleaning services.
