How Often Does the Luzun Need Maintenance?
2 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!
