Is Maintenance Required Before Reaching the Mileage?

[SanMargaret]

Maintenance is still necessary even if the mileage hasn't been reached. Generally, apart from mileage, the need for car maintenance can also be determined based on time, typically every six months. Below is an introduction to car maintenance: Even if the car is not driven, maintenance is still required. For vehicles driven daily, maintenance is usually based on mileage, with modern passenger cars typically requiring maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. For vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods without being driven, it is also recommended to perform maintenance every six months. Over time, the engine oil deteriorates, and the oxidation caused by air and combustion byproducts gradually forms sludge in the oil. This sludge, mixed with mechanical impurities, can accelerate wear on moving parts and easily clog oil passages.
