How often should the Boyue undergo its first maintenance?
2 Answers
The Boyue should undergo its first maintenance after 3 months or 5,000 kilometers. The purposes of the first maintenance are: 1. To ensure the vehicle's optimal performance; 2. To enhance driving safety; 3. To reduce engine noise; 4. To extend the vehicle's service life. Taking the 2021 Boyue as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4519mm, width 1831mm, height 1694mm, and a wheelbase of 2670mm. The 2021 Boyue features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.8L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 163PS, a maximum power of 120kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I picked up my Borui last year, and the salesperson said the first maintenance should be done at three months or after driving 5,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. I went in at 4,800 km to get it done—didn’t want to waste the free oil change. Remember to bring your maintenance manual and driver’s license; the dealership needs them to redeem the free service coupon. With the hot weather now, I recommend scheduling an early morning slot to avoid workshop queues. Also, ask the technician to check tire pressure and coolant—tires tend to lose air this season. The air filter can actually last until the second service, so don’t fall for upsells. After maintenance, my fuel consumption dropped by 0.5L/100km, and the engine runs quieter too.
