Is it okay to service a car every 10,000 miles?
1 Answers
How often a car should be serviced depends on the vehicle's condition and the grade of engine oil used. If the car is in good condition and uses a higher-grade engine oil, servicing every 10,000 kilometers is acceptable. Car maintenance considerations: Reasonably determine the maintenance interval: Scientifically determining the mileage intervals for various maintenance tasks not only keeps the car in good technical condition but also saves on maintenance and repair costs. Generally, a new car in good technical condition, used under favorable conditions, can have its maintenance cycle appropriately extended. Conversely, a car in poor technical condition or used under harsh conditions should have its maintenance cycle shortened accordingly. Understand the total maintenance costs: To prevent the vehicle from entering the repair phase prematurely, it's best to understand the total maintenance costs as much as possible. Utilizing various advanced maintenance equipment and methods for non-disassembly maintenance can not only avoid unnecessary damage to the car's assemblies and components caused by disassembly but also significantly speed up the maintenance process, thereby reducing the total maintenance costs. Proper use of oil: Proper use of oil includes two aspects: fuel and lubricating oil. Improper fuel selection can easily lead to issues such as clogged fuel filters, causing the engine to idle unstably, accelerate poorly, and increase fuel consumption. It can also accelerate cylinder wear and affect the engine's lifespan.
