How often should a Mustang be serviced?
1 Answers
Mustangs should be serviced every 5,000 kilometers or every six months. Below is a detailed introduction to Mustang maintenance: 1. Engine oil tends to degrade during use. Under the influence of temperature fluctuations, oxygen exposure, and pressure cycles, the likelihood of oil degradation is higher than when it is stored under stable conditions. 2. The oil filter removes impurities from the oil in the oil pan, serving to lubricate, clean, reduce wear on parts caused by impurities, and extend the lifespan of components. If the oil filter is not replaced when changing the oil, the old filter may appear clean on the surface but already contains a certain amount of impurities. Over another service cycle, most of these impurities will still settle into the oil pan when the oil is drained. 3. The air filter is used to remove impurities from the air. If impurities enter the engine cylinders directly, the engine will wear out faster. A heavily contaminated filter will significantly increase air intake resistance, leading to poorer engine performance, higher fuel consumption, and carbon buildup. There is no fixed replacement interval for the air filter, but if the vehicle is frequently driven in heavily polluted areas, it is recommended to replace it every three months. The maximum interval should not exceed six months or 10,000 kilometers. 4. The cabin air filter can filter out impurities, pollen, odors, moisture, etc., protecting the car's interior from bacteria. Increased impurities also raise air resistance, leading to higher energy consumption.
