What Does the Wrench Symbol on a Car Mean?

[OKatherine]

The wrench symbol that appears on a car is a reminder for the owner that the vehicle is due for maintenance, not an indication of a fault. This symbol does not affect the normal operation of the vehicle, and it will disappear after the maintenance is completed. This feature is not standard on all vehicles and will only appear on cars equipped with this function. Basic car maintenance knowledge is as follows: 1. Regular oil change intervals: 5,000 kilometers or 6 months for conventional oil, 7,500 kilometers or 8 months for semi-synthetic oil, and 10,000 kilometers or 1 year for full-synthetic oil. 2. There is no specific or standard answer for the exact maintenance interval, as it depends on factors such as usual driving conditions and the owner's personal driving habits. For example, if the usual driving environment is harsh, the maintenance cycle should be shortened accordingly, and maintenance should be performed earlier.
