What are the maintenance items for the fourth service of the Envision?
2 Answers
The fourth maintenance for the Envision is generally around 20,000 kilometers. Typically, in addition to the regular replacement of the three filters, it also includes changing the engine oil, power steering fluid, brake fluid, and cabin air filter. Replacing the oil filter: Replace the oil filter and fuel filter. This helps prevent contaminants from mixing into the engine during use and avoids oil passage blockages. Generally, semi-synthetic oil should be changed every 5,000-8,000 kilometers, synthetic oil every 8,000-10,000 kilometers, and mineral oil should not exceed 5,000 kilometers. Replacing the air filter: Replace the air filter if it wasn't changed during the 10,000-kilometer service. It must be replaced at the 20,000-kilometer service. The air filter prevents dust and particles from entering the engine during the intake process. If it was replaced at 10,000 kilometers, it can be cleaned. Checking the brake pads: Inspect the car's brake pads for severe wear or oil contamination. Brake pads are usually replaced every 30,000-50,000 kilometers. At 20,000 kilometers, check them and ask the mechanic how much longer they can be used. If the brakes fail, it can lead to serious consequences and is highly unsafe.
I'm about to reach the fourth maintenance for my Envision. The usual items include changing the engine oil and oil filter to ensure smooth engine lubrication; the air filter and cabin air filter should also be replaced, especially since there's more dust in summer for fresher air inside; the tires need to be rotated to prevent uneven wear and extend their lifespan; checking the brake pads and lights is a must, safety first; plus a coolant level check to prevent overheating issues. It's recommended to get this done at a 4S shop, roughly every 20,000 kilometers—cost-effective and reliable. Don't underestimate regular maintenance; it extends your car's life and improves fuel efficiency. After maintenance, my car accelerates much smoother.
