Is the first maintenance of the Buick Excelle required within three months?
1 Answers
The first maintenance for the Buick Excelle is due at 5,000 kilometers or 3 months (whichever comes first), followed by subsequent maintenance at 10,000 kilometers or 9 months (the mileage and time intervals are calculated from the date of new car purchase, with the earlier condition taking precedence). The initial maintenance for the Buick Excelle is at 5,000 kilometers, with regular maintenance intervals set at every 5,000 kilometers, primarily involving oil and oil filter replacement. For the 1.4T model, spark plugs are replaced every 40,000 kilometers, while the 1.5L model requires replacement every 30,000 kilometers. Other components such as the air filter, cabin air filter, and fuel filter are replaced every 20,000 kilometers, and the brake fluid is replaced every 30,000 kilometers. In addition to dealership maintenance, developing good driving habits is also an effective way to maintain the vehicle. Start and shut down the car properly and calmly, shift gears at higher RPMs (above 2,500 RPM for upshifts), drive more at medium to high speeds, avoid driving at high speeds in low gears or low speeds in high gears, and refrain from sudden acceleration. The break-in period for the Buick Excelle is primarily the first 2,000 kilometers. It is recommended to follow the driving methods below to achieve optimal engine performance and ensure the reliability and fuel efficiency of the new car. Otherwise, engine lifespan and performance may be compromised. Avoid driving at a constant speed for extended periods, regardless of speed. Do not let the engine RPM exceed 4,000 RPM in any gear, avoid full-throttle acceleration, refrain from rapid starts, and minimize emergency braking as much as possible. During the first drive, smoke may be produced due to the evaporation of wax and oil in the exhaust system. After the initial drive, park the car in an open area for some time to avoid inhaling these fumes. During the break-in period, fuel and oil consumption may be higher, and auto stop-start may be disabled to allow the battery to charge.
