What is the maintenance interval for the Tang DMI?
2 Answers
The maintenance interval for the Tang DMI is 12 months or 7,500 kilometers. Maintenance for the BYD Tang DM: You can refer to the maintenance schedule in the user manual, which is designed to ensure driving stability, reduce the occurrence of faults, and promote safe and economical driving. The intervals for scheduled maintenance can be found in the periodic table, based on the odometer reading or time interval, whichever comes first. Maintenance components: The vehicle must be maintained according to the normal maintenance schedule. The main replacements include the oil and three filters, with a total of 6L of oil (one large and one small) for the three filters. The transmission oil depends on the hybrid mileage, while tires, brake fluid, and brake pads depend on the total mileage.
I drive a Tang DM-i and follow the manual's maintenance schedule strictly. The first service is free at 3,500 km or 6 months, basically just an oil and filter change. After that, maintenance is required every 7,500 km or once a year, mainly checking the hybrid system, brake fluid, etc. Actually, if you drive mostly in electric mode, there's less engine wear, but if you frequently take long trips, you might need to service it earlier. My friend drives in the north where it's cold in winter, so he changes to a 5,000 km check-up interval since battery performance drops in low temperatures. It's also important to regularly check coolant levels and tire pressure yourself to keep the car in good condition and extend its lifespan. Don't try to save money by going to small shops for maintenance—technicians at the 4S店 are more familiar with hybrid systems, avoiding costly repairs from bigger issues later on.
