What is the first maintenance mileage requirement for the Hongqi HS5?
2 Answers
The first maintenance requirement for the Hongqi HS5 is 3,000 kilometers. Key items: The main items for the first maintenance of a new car are changing the engine oil and oil filter. Therefore, some dealerships may offer significant discounts to sell the vehicle, but essentially no one would purchase it under such circumstances. Reason: Since the period before the first maintenance is the vehicle's break-in period, the gradually breaking-in engine will continuously mix mechanical impurities such as dust, metal wear, and carbon deposits into the engine oil. Driving at high speeds during this period can lead to abnormal engine wear. If the debris and impurities generated by the engine operation are not promptly removed, they may cause abnormal damage to the internal parts of the cylinders.
Driving the Hongqi HS5, I didn’t pay much attention to the first service mileage at first. Later, after checking the owner’s manual, I learned that the requirement is 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, whichever comes first. Getting the first service done on time not only includes a free oil and filter change but also checks the engine, brakes, and suspension system, preventing small issues from becoming big ones. In daily use, I always remind my friends not to slack off, as neglecting maintenance can affect the car’s performance and waste fuel money. Regular maintenance is like adding a health guarantee—safe and cost-effective. Now, every few thousand kilometers, I glance at the odometer to ensure I don’t exceed the limit, forming a good habit.
