Is it necessary to service a car every 5,000 kilometers?

It is necessary to service a car every 5,000 kilometers. Car maintenance is based on a cycle. Generally, the first maintenance time for a car is between 3 to 5 months, with the first maintenance mileage ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers, and even up to 8,000 kilometers for some cars. Below are the daily maintenance items for cars and their precautions: Maintenance and replacement of car fluids: Antifreeze, also known as coolant, primarily serves the functions of antifreeze and cooling. Cars are equipped with long-life antifreeze when they leave the factory, which can last up to 10 years or more than 100,000 kilometers. Under normal circumstances, it requires little maintenance unless sediments or flocculants are observed in the antifreeze. Car tire maintenance: Under-inflation or over-inflation of tires will lead to abnormal wear, shorten the tire's lifespan, increase fuel consumption, and even raise the risk of a blowout. It is recommended to check the tire pressure once a month to ensure normal tire pressure and the wear level of the tread pattern, and to rotate the tires as needed. Replacement of car consumable parts: The engine's spark plugs are consumable parts and should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. In addition, components such as brake fluid, transmission oil, the battery, the throttle, the fuel injectors, and brake pads are all inspection items during routine maintenance, and should be serviced and maintained based on their condition.
