How often should the Lavida be serviced?
2 Answers
The Lavida should be serviced every six months or 5,000 kilometers. Maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car maintenance. Its purpose is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. The Lavida's body dimensions are: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.
I've been driving the Lavida for several years, and based on experience, it generally requires maintenance every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers or every six months to a year, depending on your driving frequency and road conditions. For me, since I often encounter traffic jams in the city with harsh driving conditions, I go for a check-up every 6,000 kilometers or so to protect the engine and avoid wear caused by aging engine oil. During regular maintenance, the mechanic changes the oil and filter, and also checks the brakes and tire pressure. It costs around 400 to 500 yuan each time, which isn't expensive, but it ensures driving safety. Neglecting maintenance can lead to a decline in car performance and increased fuel consumption. I suggest you also find a trusted repair shop and develop good habits—this way, driving becomes more worry-free.
