How often should the Borui be maintained?
2 Answers
Borui maintenance depends on the type of oil used. For full synthetic oil, it's once a year or every 10,000 kilometers, while for semi-synthetic oil, it's every six months or 5,000 kilometers. Classification of engine oil: Engine oil is divided into three categories: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. The replacement cycles for these three types of oil vary. Generally, mineral oil should be replaced every six months or 5,000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil every six months or 7,500 kilometers, and full synthetic oil every six months or 10,000 kilometers. Precautions for adding engine oil: The quality of the engine oil has a significant impact on the working environment of the engine. The engine operates in a high-temperature environment, continuously repeating mechanical friction movements. In this process, the oil plays a role in cooling, lubricating, and cleaning. Over time, the impurities in the oil increase, and its performance declines accordingly.
I've been driving the Borui for a while now, and the manual clearly recommends a basic maintenance every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, including things like oil changes and filter checks. I strictly follow this because aging oil can damage the engine, and delaying it can lead to louder engine noises or even shaking. Last time, I was busy with work and delayed the maintenance by two weeks. When I took it to the shop, the mechanic said the filter had accumulated a layer of sludge, which cost extra to clean. Maintenance isn't a hassle—usually, an oil change and checks on the brakes and tires take about an hour. Just get into the habit of checking the odometer every 5,000 kilometers. The first three years with a new car are especially important to maintain regularity to avoid major repair costs—after all, replacing an engine is too expensive. When parking daily, take a quick glance at the dipstick; if the oil looks black, it's a reminder to send it for service. The Borui is a great car—don't lose big for small savings!
