What is the first maintenance mileage for the Volkswagen Lamando?
2 Answers
Volkswagen has not officially specified the first maintenance for the Lamando, but it is recommended to perform the first maintenance at 5,000 kilometers or 6 months. The first maintenance for the Volkswagen Lamando is a routine service performed after driving a certain distance to ensure vehicle performance, as per the manufacturer's specified time or mileage. It mainly includes changing the engine oil and oil filter. Precautions for the Lamando's first maintenance are as follows: 1. It is best for the owner to follow the entire maintenance process. 2. The owner should pay attention to whether the replaced engine oil is the original factory-supplied oil, as poor-quality oil can damage the engine. 3. Replacing the filter is also crucial to avoid situations where it is not replaced. Additionally, it should be noted that the first maintenance usually includes only a few free items, and services not covered by the first maintenance will be charged.
When I first bought my Volkswagen Lamando, I was quite attentive to the first maintenance because the new car drove smoothly, but I knew I couldn’t delay it for too long. The manual stated that the first maintenance should be done at 7,500 kilometers, which usually falls within six months, and definitely shouldn’t exceed 10,000 kilometers. I personally went for it—mainly to change the engine oil and filter, while also having the 4S shop technicians inspect the chassis, lights, and other components. The new engine needs breaking-in, and the oil might contain impurities, so replacing it ensures smoother engine operation and more stable fuel consumption. Remember, the first maintenance is usually free or comes with discounts, and scheduling it is convenient. If you delay it, the warranty might become void, and repair costs for later issues could be much higher. So, 7,500 kilometers is the right time—don’t wait too long. Protecting your car is crucial.
