What is a Vehicle Maintenance Mileage Comparison Chart?

[Vernon]

Vehicle maintenance directly determines the lifespan of a car. A vehicle maintenance mileage comparison chart is a reminder table based on the car's maintenance cycle. In China, maintenance is generally performed every 5,000 kilometers, including oil and filter changes. In places like Europe, the U.S., and Japan, the maintenance cycle is longer, usually exceeding 10,000 kilometers. Below is a summary of the vehicle maintenance cycle: I. Parts Section: 1. Spark Plugs: (1) EFI engine standard spark plugs, mileage cycle: 30,000 km; (2) EFI engine platinum spark plugs, mileage cycle: 60,000 km; (3) Direct injection engine standard spark plugs, mileage cycle: 20,000 km; (4) Direct injection engine platinum spark plugs, mileage cycle: 40,000 km. 2. Oil Filter, Air Filter, Cabin Air Filter: (1) Oil filter, time cycle: same as oil; mileage cycle: same as oil; (2) Air filter, time cycle: 1 year; mileage cycle: 10,000 km; (3) Cabin air filter, time cycle: 1 year; mileage cycle: 20,000 km (replace during seasonal transitions). 3. Battery: Time cycle: 3 years. 4. Fuel Filter: (1) Built-in fuel filter, time cycle: 5 years; mileage cycle: 100,000 km; (2) External fuel filter, time cycle: 1 year; mileage cycle: 10,000 km. PS: Whichever comes first, time or mileage. 5. Brake Pads: (1) Automatic transmission models, mileage cycle: 20,000 km; (2) Manual transmission models, mileage cycle: 30,000 km. 6. Tires: Time cycle: 5 years; mileage cycle: 40,000 km for tire rotation. PS: Mainly based on time cycle. II. Fluids Section: 1. Brake Fluid: Time cycle: 2 years; mileage cycle: 60,000 km. PS: Highly affected by environmental humidity. 2. Engine Oil: (1) Mineral oil, time cycle: 6 months; mileage cycle: 5,000 km; (2) Synthetic oil, time cycle: 8 months; mileage cycle: 8,000–10,000 km. PS: Whichever comes first, time or mileage. 3. Transmission Fluid: (1) Manual transmission fluid, time cycle: 5 years; mileage cycle: 100,000 km; (2) Automatic transmission fluid, time cycle: 3 years; mileage cycle: 60,000 km. PS: Whichever comes first, time or mileage. 4. Coolant: Time cycle: 2 years; mileage cycle: 40,000 km. PS: Mainly based on time. 5. Power Steering Fluid: Time cycle: 3 years; mileage cycle: 100,000 km. PS: Can be used long-term.
