Should I Get Maintenance for a New Car Driven 2,000 km in Half a Year?
1 Answers
New car driven 2,000 km in half a year needs maintenance. Normally, the first maintenance for a new car is required after driving 5,000 km or six months, whichever comes first. Maintenance items include: Replacement of engine oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, transmission oil, cabin air filter, engine belt; inspection of spark plugs, tires, and braking system; adding brake fluid; cleaning fuel injectors and throttle body. First Maintenance: The first maintenance is the initial service after the vehicle leaves the factory and hits the road. In addition to the routine replacement of engine oil and oil filter, technicians will also inspect major components of the vehicle, such as checking the torque of suspension bolts and whether there is any oil leakage from the engine or transmission, to prevent any abnormalities. Therefore, maintenance should be done at the dealership according to the time or mileage. Regular Maintenance: After the first maintenance, regular maintenance should be performed at fixed intervals or mileage, typically once a year or every 10,000 km. Regular maintenance varies from person to person. If the car is not driven much, maintenance can be appropriately postponed by a month. Another scenario is when the vehicle is used more frequently, reaching 5,000 km in three or four months, maintenance can be delayed by an additional 1,000 km.
