What is the maintenance interval for the Emgrand GS?

The maintenance interval for the Emgrand GS is 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Regular maintenance is beneficial for inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing parts related to the vehicle. Taking the 2020 Emgrand GS as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4440mm, width 1833mm, height 1573mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The 2020 Emgrand GS features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a longitudinal trailing arm semi-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 141PS, a maximum power of 104kW, and a maximum torque of 235Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

I remember that after using the Emgrand GS for so long, its maintenance cycle is generally a basic minor service every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, whichever comes first. The first free maintenance is recommended at around 3,000 kilometers because the engine needs an early oil change during the break-in period to clean out metal debris. After the first maintenance, a major service is done every 7,500 kilometers or so, including oil and oil filter changes, as well as brake system inspections. In my daily driving, with frequent city commuting and traffic jams, the oil tends to get dirty faster, so I never delay maintenance. Otherwise, engine wear accelerates, and repair costs can be painfully high. I recommend new car owners develop the habit of tracking mileage and use the Emgrand GS app or manual reminder features to avoid forgetting. Keeping up with this schedule ensures the car performs excellently even after five years of use.

When I first got my Emgrand GS, I loved researching maintenance knowledge. The 4S store staff told me to return for basic maintenance every 5,000 kilometers or every six months. I don’t drive aggressively, mixing city and highway driving, but the manual emphasizes that frequent short trips with constant starts and stops can accelerate oil degradation, so I strictly follow the schedule. For example, minor maintenance focuses on oil changes and air filter replacements, which aren’t costly but ensure smooth engine operation. If driving habits are aggressive, like frequent hard braking, the interval might shorten, making early inspections safer. To save money, I opt for 4S store service packages, spending around a thousand yuan annually, which also includes checks on lights and tires to prevent unexpected issues on the road.

As an ordinary office worker, I use the Emgrand GS for daily commuting, averaging 1,500 kilometers per month. The maintenance cycle is set reasonably: a minor service every 5,000 kilometers or six months, which basically means arranging it every four to five months of driving. The most frequent tasks I perform are oil and filter changes, which take less than an hour and don’t interfere with work. The manual recommends adjusting based on driving conditions—for example, in northern winters with more cold starts, engine oil wear is higher, so I check it at 4,500 kilometers. Sticking to timely maintenance helps keep fuel consumption stable and reduces minor issues like engine noise. I recommend using a phone memo to remind yourself of the dates—it’s worry-free and efficient.
