What is a Car Maintenance Mileage Chart?
1 Answers
A car maintenance mileage chart is a reminder table based on the car maintenance cycle. In China, maintenance is generally performed every 5,000 kilometers, including oil and oil filter replacement. In regions like Europe, the United States, and Japan, the maintenance cycle is longer, usually exceeding 10,000 kilometers. Below are the corresponding mileage and items for vehicle maintenance: 1. The most commonly used item for vehicles is engine oil. The oil change cycle has two indicators: time and mileage, whichever comes first. Oil and oil filters are replaced simultaneously. (1) The replacement cycle for mineral oil is 6 months or 5,000 kilometers. (2) The replacement cycle for semi-synthetic oil is 8 months or approximately 8,000 kilometers. (3) The replacement cycle for full synthetic oil is 12 months or approximately 10,000 kilometers. 2. Air filters are generally replaced every 6 months or 10,000 kilometers. 3. Fuel filters are generally replaced every 1 year or 20,000 kilometers. 4. Cabin air filters are usually replaced when using the air conditioning in winter and summer. 5. Coolant, also known as antifreeze, is responsible for cooling the engine and is generally replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. 6. Brake fluid is replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. 7. Power steering fluid is replaced every 40,000 kilometers. If the vehicle has electric power steering, there is no power steering fluid. 8. Manual transmission fluid is replaced every 40,000 kilometers, while automatic transmission fluid is replaced every 60,000 kilometers. 9. Common wear-and-tear parts replacement cycle: Spark plugs are replaced every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. 10. Brake pads are replaced when they are below 3.5mm, generally lasting 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. 11. Wiper blades are replaced every six months to one year. 12. Timing belts are replaced every 60,000 kilometers. 13. Tires should be rotated every 8,000 to 13,000 kilometers. A wheel alignment should be performed every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers, and tires should be replaced when worn to the limit.
