What is the maintenance interval for Buick?
2 Answers
Buick's maintenance intervals are: minor maintenance every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, and major maintenance every 10,000 kilometers or 1 year. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as car servicing. Taking the 2021 Buick GL8 Land Business Class 652T Comfort model as an example: it is a 5-door 7-seater MPV under SAIC-GM-Buick, with dimensions of 5238mm in length, 1878mm in width, and 1776mm in height, a wheelbase of 3088mm, and equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
After driving a Buick for so many years, I believe the maintenance cycle largely depends on personal driving habits. Buick's official recommendation is generally a basic service every 6 months or 5,000 kilometers, including oil and filter changes. Since I do a lot of city commuting with frequent traffic jams, I've shortened it to a check-up every 3 months to prevent engine carbon buildup and increased fuel consumption. I also keep an eye on brake pad wear to avoid safety hazards. Regularly checking the oil dipstick myself—if the color turns black, it's time for a change. These small habits have saved me a lot on repair costs, extended the car's lifespan, and ensured road safety. Regular maintenance isn't a burden but an investment.
