How Often Does the Luzun Need Maintenance?
4 Answers
The new Luzun vehicle requires its first maintenance within 6 months or 5,000 kilometers (whichever comes first), with the first service being free of charge. This includes changing the engine oil, oil filter, and transmission fluid, along with a comprehensive inspection of all vehicle components. Subsequent maintenance should be performed every 5,000 kilometers. Below is an introduction to the Luzun's maintenance schedule: 1. After driving 5,000 kilometers, the engine oil and oil filter need to be replaced; at 10,000 kilometers, replace the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. 2. At 15,000 kilometers, replace the engine oil, oil filter, and cabin air filter; at 25,000 kilometers, replace the engine oil and oil filter. 3. At 20,000 kilometers, replace the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter; at 30,000 kilometers, replace the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin air filter, and fuel filter. 4. At 35,000 kilometers, replace the engine oil and oil filter; at 40,000 kilometers, replace the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. 5. At 45,000 kilometers, replace the engine oil, oil filter, and cabin air filter; at 50,000 kilometers, replace the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. 6. At 55,000 kilometers, replace the engine oil and oil filter; at 60,000 kilometers, replace the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin air filter, and fuel filter. 7. The fuel filter and air filter should be replaced every 10,000 kilometers, and the cabin air filter should be replaced annually or approximately every 20,000 kilometers.
I'm definitely qualified to speak on this issue. Our family's Buick GL8 has been running for over six years, and we basically service it every six months or around 7,000-8,000 kilometers. The service advisor at the 4S店 always says Buicks are built tough, but if you go over 8,000 kilometers without an oil change, the engine noise noticeably becomes muffled. I've specifically compared this—cars with regular maintenance maintain a stable fuel consumption of around 10L/100km, while those with delayed maintenance can spike up to 13L/100km. Honestly, the basic items on the maintenance checklist only cost a few hundred yuan, but if you skip checking tire wear or brake pad thickness, the repair costs when problems arise won't be small. Last week, our neighbor's GL8 suddenly broke down on the road due to long-term neglect of oil changes, leading to cylinder scuffing—towing and repairs ended up costing nearly 20,000 yuan!
Those who drive the Landmaster for long distances can relate. Last year, I personally tested the maintenance intervals during a 20,000-kilometer road trip. If you're driving entirely on highways, full synthetic oil can last up to 10,000 kilometers, but if you're commuting in the city with frequent starts and stops, it's best to check at 5,000 kilometers. I remember once when I was working on a construction site, I drove 8,000 kilometers in three months, and the mechanic found the engine oil had clumped when he opened it up. Actually, maintenance intervals are quite flexible. I recommend downloading a car maintenance app to track mileage. Abnormal tire pressure or a sudden 15% increase in fuel consumption are signs it's time for maintenance. Also, be sure to check the coolant before the summer heat—the Landmaster's cooling system is particularly sensitive.
From a maintenance perspective, the Landmark is best serviced every 5,000 kilometers or every six months, whichever comes first. Don't underestimate components like the air filter—my vehicle, which often operates in northern areas with heavy dust, requires replacement every two months during dusty seasons. The key factor is oil quality: mineral oil degrades significantly after 5,000 km, while full synthetic can last up to 8,000 km. Last time I helped a friend inspect his used Landmark, the previous owner hadn't changed the transmission fluid on time, resulting in a major repair costing over 7,000 yuan. Actually, during maintenance, just have the mechanic focus on three key areas: whether the brake caliper is leaking, if the ball joint rubber boots are cracked, and if the battery voltage is stable.
