How often should Dongfeng Honda cars be serviced?
2 Answers
Dongfeng Honda cars should normally be serviced every 10,000 kilometers, but under severe driving conditions, this interval should be shortened to every 5,000 kilometers. Below is a detailed introduction to car maintenance: Car maintenance items: Maintenance is generally divided into minor and major services. Minor maintenance mainly involves changing the engine oil and the three filters, while major maintenance requires inspection and replacement of the oil filter, antifreeze, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. Additionally, the vehicle's tires, brake pads, belts, and other components should be checked. Maintenance intervals: The frequency of maintenance is usually determined by the type of oil used. Mineral oil typically requires service every 5,000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil every 7,000-8,000 kilometers, and fully synthetic oil every 10,000 kilometers.
As a seasoned driver of a Dongfeng Honda, I believe maintenance is not something to be taken lightly. The manual recommends servicing every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, but since I mostly drive on highways, I usually visit the 4S shop around 7,000 kilometers. The main reasons: engine oil gradually deteriorates, and frequent stop-and-go traffic in cities increases engine wear. Delaying maintenance can lead to higher fuel consumption and even difficulty starting. Environmental factors also matter—for example, cold winters in the north reduce lubrication effectiveness, so I prefer early checks. Being diligent with maintenance in the first two years of a new car can extend engine life. Overall, regular maintenance not only saves money but also keeps the car running more smoothly.
