How Often Should a Car Be Serviced for Optimal Maintenance?
1 Answers
Car maintenance intervals are as follows: Generally, minor maintenance is recommended every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months; major maintenance is typically required every 20,000-30,000 kilometers or approximately every 2 years. Below is an introduction to car maintenance: 1. Minor Maintenance: It is advisable to perform a minor maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. During minor maintenance, the oil filter and engine oil are replaced. It is recommended to choose an authorized 4S dealership for maintenance. Although the cost may be slightly higher, the quality is guaranteed. 2. Major Maintenance: During major maintenance, the 'three filters' should be replaced, which include the fuel filter, air filter, oil filter, and engine oil. Currently, most cars use gasoline as fuel, so the fuel filter is also known as the gasoline filter, abbreviated as 'fuel filter.' The function of the 'fuel filter' is to filter out impurities generated during gasoline combustion. After prolonged driving, the oil filter and fuel filter accumulate many impurities, leading to incomplete gasoline combustion, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, it is advisable to replace them regularly. The air filter also accumulates dust and bacteria. If not replaced, such air circulating inside the car can affect human health.
