What is the first maintenance mileage for the Baojun 530?
3 Answers
Baojun 530's first maintenance is at 50,000 kilometers. The first maintenance items include: 1. Replace engine oil, oil filter, clean air filter, check whether the generator belt and wiper blades are damaged, check whether the levels of various fluids are normal, and check whether the tire pressure is normal; 2. Check the car chassis: including whether the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and ball cages are scratched; 3. Check whether all switches and lights in the car are working properly. Below is information about the first maintenance of a new car: 1. Check the tire wear condition and whether pressure adjustment is necessary. 2. Check the entire lighting system: headlights, indicator lights, emergency signal lights, trunk light, passenger compartment light, glove box light, dashboard warning lights, etc. 3. Check the operation of the windshield wiper, the position of the wiper blade, and its wear condition. 4. Check the condition of the exterior of the car body, the protective parts and pipes under the car body (exhaust-fuel lines-brake lines), and rubber parts (dust covers, bushings, spacers). 5. Check the condition of various control belts. 6. Check and adjust the height and travel of the clutch pedal. The clutch is a component we use frequently, so its inspection is very necessary. 7. Check and adjust the handbrake travel. 8. Check and tighten the chassis screws, as the chassis is inevitably impacted during driving, which may loosen the screws. 9. Clean the air filter element. The air filter plays a protective role for the air. 10. Refill various fluids (engine coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, etc.). 11. Replace the engine oil. 12. Replace the engine oil filter.
I remember when I drove the Baojun 530, it was brand new, and the salesperson specifically reminded me that the first maintenance should be done around 5,000 kilometers and not to delay it. I took mine to the 4S shop at 4,900 kilometers, where the technician replaced the oil filter and checked the tire pressure and brake system. When a new car is just driven, the impurities in the engine need to be cleared early, otherwise fuel consumption will increase, and the power won't be as smooth. After the maintenance, I felt the throttle was more responsive, and the fuel consumption dropped a bit. I suggest everyone keep track of the odometer and not wait until it's overdue to go, as it might affect the warranty terms and make repairs more expensive. Safety comes first when driving, and timely maintenance can save a lot of trouble.
As a mechanic who frequently works on cars, I've noticed that the first maintenance mileage for models like the Baojun 530 is generally set at around 5,000 kilometers, as clearly stated in the manufacturer's manual. New cars are just breaking in, and the parts need time to adjust. The engine oil will carry metal shavings and other debris, making 5,000 kilometers the perfect time for a cleanup. During maintenance, it's also essential to inspect the transmission system and electrical components, such as checking if the battery and lights are functioning properly. Neglecting this maintenance period can lead to faster engine wear, resulting in costly repairs or even the risk of breaking down on the road. I recommend car owners set a reminder on their phones to schedule a visit to the shop on time—don't risk major losses for minor savings.
