How Often Should the Levin Be Serviced?
2 Answers
Levin should be serviced every 5,000 or 8,000 kilometers. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. Taking the Levin 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4640mm, width 1780mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity 50 liters, and trunk capacity 471 liters. The Levin 2021 model is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 85kW, maximum torque of 185Nm, maximum power speed of 5200 to 5600 rpm, and is matched with a continuously variable transmission.
I've been driving my Levin for almost three years now, and personally, I think maintenance intervals vary quite a bit from person to person. Generally, it's recommended to do a minor service every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months. For an average office worker like me, commuting in the city with frequent traffic jams, the engine tends to accumulate carbon deposits, so I stick to getting it checked at the 4S shop around every 5,000 kilometers. It mainly involves changing the engine oil and filters, along with checking the brake pads and tire wear to ensure driving safety. If you often drive long distances on highways with good road conditions and less dust, you might stretch it to 7,500 kilometers, but don't wait too long, as deteriorated oil can affect the engine's lifespan. I usually pay attention to warming up the engine during cold starts and avoid idling for too long to prevent overheating, as these practices can extend the maintenance cycle. I recommend keeping a record of each maintenance date rather than relying solely on intuition. Treat your car like a friend—take good care of it, and it will last longer without issues. Also, don't forget the impact of seasonal changes, such as colder winters causing oil to thicken faster, which might require earlier maintenance.
