What is the first maintenance mileage for the 2021 Sylphy?
2 Answers
2021 Sylphy's first maintenance is due after 3 months of purchase or when the mileage reaches 2,500 kilometers, whichever comes first. Documents required for the first maintenance include: driver's license, vehicle license, first maintenance certificate, and purchase certificate. The first maintenance generally includes the following items: Check if the coolant level meets the specified requirements. Check the brake and clutch fluid levels. Check if the power steering fluid level meets the specified requirements. Check for oil leaks at all oil pipe interfaces in the system. Check the battery fluid level and the windshield washer fluid level. Check the tension and aging of the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and power steering pump belts. Check if all front and rear lights are functioning (including headlights, width indicator lights, turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights, and fog lights). Check the tire pressure and wear condition, tighten the tire bolts to the specified torque, adjust the tire pressure to the vehicle's specified value, and rotate the tires if necessary based on wear condition. Check if the vehicle's exhaust emissions meet the standards.
I bought the 2021 Sylphy last year and remember getting the first maintenance done at around 1,000 kilometers. During the break-in period of a new car, it's crucial to maintain it properly to avoid part wear affecting performance. When I took it to the 4S dealership after hitting 1,000 km, the technician changed the engine oil, checked the brakes, inspected the lights and tire pressure—the whole process went smoothly. The Sylphy is quite durable, but you shouldn't delay the first maintenance, as it can easily accumulate hidden issues leading to costly major repairs. After the service, I noticed smoother acceleration and reduced noise. I recommend sticking to the first maintenance schedule and following the manual for regular check-ups every 5,000 or 10,000 km afterward. Also, pay attention to dashboard alerts and address any warnings promptly—don’t ignore them. A car is like a person; proper maintenance ensures it runs longer. This habit has saved me a lot on repair costs and extended my car’s lifespan.
