It is normal to drive 25,000 kilometers in a year. The following is the relevant introduction to the first maintenance: 1. Air filter: The engine needs to suck in a large amount of air during operation. If the air is not filtered, the dust in it will accelerate the wear of the piston group and cylinder. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can also cause severe cylinder scoring. The function of the air filter is to filter out dust and particles in the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinder. 2. Gasoline filter: The function of the gasoline filter is to provide clean fuel for the engine, filtering out water and impurities in the gasoline. This optimizes the engine's performance and provides the best protection for the engine. During car maintenance, the operator will perform other inspections based on the specific condition of the vehicle and may add other maintenance items, such as inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of the engine-related systems, tire alignment inspection, inspection of various fastening components, etc.
Driving 25,000 kilometers a year is actually quite common. Some friends have longer commutes to work, with one-way distances of 30-40 kilometers, plus weekend family trips or long-distance travel during holidays, which adds up quickly. For example, I commute 80 kilometers daily and need maintenance every six months. But as long as you regularly change the oil and check brake pads, there's no major issue for the car. I have a Japanese car that's been driven for five years and 120,000 kilometers, and the engine still sounds like new—the key is to maintain it on time without slacking. Frequent highway driving actually causes less wear and tear on the car compared to stop-and-go traffic.
