What is the maintenance interval for the 2020 Sagitar?

FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar's first free maintenance should be performed at an authorized 4S dealership within one year from the date of purchase or when the vehicle reaches 7,500 km (maximum not exceeding 10,000 km). The second maintenance should be done when the total mileage reaches 15,000 km at a 4S dealership. After that, regular maintenance at a 4S dealership is required only once every year. Below are the relevant details: Brake fluid should be replaced every two years. Spark plugs should be replaced every 30,000 km. The air filter, cabin air filter, and fuel filter should be replaced every 30,000 km or every two years. The transmission fluid should be inspected every 60,000 km or every four years and replaced if necessary. New car engine oil contains added grinding agents that help in effectively breaking in the engine. The engine achieves optimal break-in condition only during the heating process.
I drive a 2020 Sagitar, and the maintenance cycle follows the manual—every 10,000 kilometers or 12 months. The first service is recommended to be done free of charge at around 5,000 kilometers to check the engine oil and filter. My car is now two years old, and I strictly adhere to this cycle at the 4S shop, including oil changes, air filter replacement, and brake system inspection. Last time, I was a bit late and went in at 11,000 kilometers. The engine had a slight abnormal noise, and the mechanic said the engine oil aged too quickly, costing an extra 200 yuan for repairs. I suggest everyone not delay and book an appointment in advance by phone, especially if driving mostly in the city where dust accumulates easily, to ensure it doesn’t affect the warranty period and performance. Regular maintenance saves trouble and extends the car’s lifespan.
