Is a 5,000-kilometer maintenance mandatory for cars?
1 Answers
Car maintenance at 5,000 kilometers is essential. The maintenance intervals for engine oil and oil filters: approximately every 5,000 kilometers. Below are relevant details about car maintenance: 1. Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade: For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, select CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. 2. Regularly change the engine oil and filter: The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions. 3. Maintain good crankcase ventilation: Most gasoline engines now come equipped with a PCV valve to facilitate engine ventilation. However, contaminants from blow-by gases can accumulate around the PCV valve, potentially causing it to clog.
