The Magotan B8 should be serviced every 5,000 to 6,000 kilometers. Car maintenance, also known as vehicle upkeep, refers to the regular inspection, cleaning, replenishment, lubrication, adjustment, or replacement of certain parts as a preventive measure. The purpose is to maintain the vehicle's appearance, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, and extend its service life. In terms of interior design, the Magotan B8 features a redesigned interior with a smooth and elegant typical European style, adhering to ergonomic principles and high-efficiency design concepts to create a luxurious feel. The front suspension of the Magotan B8 is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension.

I've been driving this Magotan B8 for almost four years now, sticking to the standard maintenance schedule of every 15,000 kilometers or annually. With all the city traffic and frequent engine start-stops, I make it a habit to check the dipstick every three months to monitor oil color, and I quickly inspect the air filter for dirt while I'm at it - just takes a few minutes. The manual also has this smart reminder system that lights up when service is due, so I head straight to the 4S dealership for a complete oil change, filter replacement, and inspection - really hassle-free. Honestly, don't try to save money or slack on maintenance. If you delay for a year or two and the oil oxidizes, you'll end up with a noisy, fuel-guzzling engine, and repair costs could multiply. Better stay diligent - this way the car can easily last a decade without major overhauls.

Maintaining the Magotan B8 really needs to be tailored to actual conditions. The manual suggests every 15,000 kilometers or once a year, but I've seen many cases where driving habits make a big difference. If you frequently drive on highways with gentle throttle use, the oil stays cleaner and you might stretch it to 18,000 km. However, if you're often stuck in city traffic with frequent short trips and stop-and-go driving, the engine works harder and the oil degrades faster—in that case, I recommend checking it at 12,000 km to avoid excessive wear on major components. Always use high-quality full synthetic oil to extend the interval, and don’t neglect the cabin air filter—replace it yearly to prevent bacteria buildup and maintain air quality. Don’t wait until the car starts groaning to act, or you’ll end up spending more on costly repairs.

My Magotan B8 requires maintenance around every 15,000 kilometers, which I usually drive in a year, so I take it to the dealership for a full check-up. The car's computer system is quite smart and will light up a small indicator when it's about time to visit the 4S shop. The process is straightforward—changing the engine oil and air filter, along with checking the brakes and tire pressure. Over time, I've learned not to delay maintenance too long, as old oil can degrade, leading to reduced performance or even engine damage in severe cases. I usually set a phone reminder to ensure timely maintenance for peace of mind.
