Haval H6's first maintenance is due at three months or 3,000 kilometers. The first maintenance refers to preventive work that involves inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle. The Haval H6 is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4,653mm in length, 1,886mm in width, and 1,730mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,738mm. The Haval H6 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 155 kW and a maximum torque of 325 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension using multi-link independent suspension.

Back when I drove the Haval H6, the salesperson made it clear that the first maintenance had to be done at either 5,000 kilometers or within 6 months, whichever came first. My car exceeded 5,000 kilometers in just four months, so I headed straight to the 4S dealership. They changed the engine oil and oil filter for free, and also checked the brakes and tire pressure. The whole process was pretty quick—done in just over an hour. After the maintenance, the car felt smoother to drive, and the fuel consumption stabilized. I recommend not delaying the maintenance beyond the specified time, as it could affect the warranty and increase future repair risks. It’s a good idea to keep track of the mileage or set a phone reminder to avoid forgetting. Haval’s service is reliable, and regular maintenance can save you hassle and money while extending your car’s lifespan.

As an experienced driver, I have driven several Haval models, and the first maintenance is uniformly recommended at 5,000 kilometers or around six months, whichever comes first. The break-in period for a new car must be taken seriously—I've seen cases where negligence led to engine issues and unnecessary expenses. I suggest keeping an eye on mileage and time right after purchasing the car; don’t wait until the warning light comes on. The first maintenance is straightforward and efficient—the 4S dealership will check basic systems to ensure everything is functioning properly. Developing a habit of regular maintenance helps prevent issues, ensuring safety and cost-effectiveness. Remember to bring your purchase documents and visit an authorized service center for peace of mind.

I had my Haval H6's first service at 6 months because I don't drive much, only about 3,000 kilometers. The 4S store gave clear instructions: 5,000 kilometers or six months, whichever comes first. The process was easy—oil change and miscellaneous cleaning, plus a free car wash. New owners are advised to check the user manual for details, as Haval models are generally similar. Setting a reminder is the easiest way to avoid missing the free service. After the maintenance, the car responded more sensitively, and I felt more at ease.
