How often should the engine be serviced?

[WalterFitz]

The maintenance interval for an engine is typically every six months or 5,000 kilometers. The specific maintenance schedule should be determined based on the vehicle's usage habits and conditions. Additionally, the type of engine oil used affects the maintenance interval. 1. If mineral oil is used, the maintenance interval is 5,000 kilometers. 2. If semi-synthetic oil is used, the maintenance interval is 7,500 kilometers. 3. If full synthetic oil is used, the maintenance interval is approximately 10,000 kilometers. Five key points for engine maintenance: 1. Use the appropriate grade of engine oil and change the oil and filter regularly (every 5,000 kilometers). 2. Frequently maintain the air filter and replace it periodically (every 20,000 kilometers). 3. Regularly clean the fuel system and replace the fuel filter periodically (every 30,000 kilometers). 4. Periodically service the radiator cooling net (every 30,000 kilometers). 5. Replace the spark plugs periodically (every 40,000 kilometers or based on driving conditions).
