Is Maintenance Required at 10,000 Kilometers?

[DelMary]

Whether maintenance is required at 10,000 kilometers depends on the vehicle model. Some cars require maintenance every 5,000 kilometers, some every 500 kilometers, and others every 15,000 kilometers. The interval for maintenance, whether measured in kilometers or time, depends on the car's operating environment, the owner's driving habits, and the type of engine oil used. Engine oil needs to be replaced regularly as its lubricating properties degrade over time, which can lead to insufficient lubrication in the engine. Even if the car is driven infrequently, the engine oil should still be replaced periodically because prolonged storage in the engine oil pan can cause oxidation and deterioration.
