Is Maintenance Mandatory at 5,000 Kilometers?

[Dorothy]

Car maintenance is not mandatory after driving 5,000 kilometers. The frequency of car maintenance varies depending on the brand, model, and type of engine oil used. Here are the details: 1. Time and Mileage: Generally, mineral oil should be replaced every 5,000 kilometers or six months, semi-synthetic oil every 7,500 kilometers or around nine months, and full-synthetic oil every 10,000 kilometers or about one year. The maintenance should be performed based on whichever comes first, time or mileage. 2. First Maintenance Time: The time for the first maintenance also varies. For most car models, the first maintenance is at 5,000 kilometers, but many models have different first maintenance intervals.
