2 Answers
The first maintenance for the 10th-generation Accord is at 5,000 kilometers, followed by regular maintenance every 5,000 kilometers or six months. The first maintenance includes an oil change, oil filter replacement, light inspection, wiper inspection, tire inflation, and tightening of chassis screws. The Accord is a mid-size car under GAC Honda, with dimensions of 4,893 mm in length, 1,862 mm in width, and 1,449 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2,830 mm. In terms of suspension, the Accord features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. For power, the Accord is equipped with a turbocharged engine that delivers a maximum horsepower of 194 hp, a maximum torque of 260 Nm, and a maximum power output of 143 kW.
I just picked up my 10th-generation Accord not long ago and noticed in the owner's manual that the manufacturer recommends the first maintenance service at around 5,000 kilometers. At this stage, it mainly involves an oil change and a full vehicle inspection, as some metal particles may remain in the engine after the break-in period, and timely cleaning can extend its lifespan. I make it a habit to visit the dealership right at 5,000 kilometers without delaying too long, otherwise, issues like higher fuel consumption or component wear might arise. After maintenance, the car runs quieter and smoother, and subsequent services can be spaced at 10,000-kilometer intervals. Time-wise, even if you haven't reached 5,000 kilometers within three months, it's best to get a basic inspection to ensure everything is safe and sound. Developing good maintenance habits ensures your vehicle remains durable, reliable, and gives you peace of mind while driving.
