What is the mileage for the first maintenance of Nissan Sylphy?
2 Answers
Nissan Sylphy's first maintenance is at 10,000 kilometers, followed by maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. After the first maintenance, the three filters (oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter) should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers, while the spark plugs and CVT transmission fluid should be replaced every 100,000 kilometers. Some important notes for the first maintenance: 1. The difference between maintenance and repair. Maintenance is primarily preventive, aimed at addressing potential safety defects, usually initiated by the car owner to reduce wear and tear on car parts, prevent accidents, and extend the vehicle's lifespan. Repair, on the other hand, is reactive, addressing faulty or non-functional components to restore the car's technical and operational capabilities. 2. New car first maintenance items. The first maintenance for a new car must include inspection and replacement of six major components. First, the engine oil must be changed, and the three filters (oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter) must be cleaned. Second, ensure the technician checks the coolant level to confirm it is within the normal range. Third, inspect the car's brake system and clutch fluid level. Fourth, check the power steering fluid level and look for any leaks at the fluid pipe connections. Fifth, the technician should inspect the condition of the generator, air conditioning system, water pump, and belts for aging or looseness. Sixth, check the tire pressure and wear condition, inflate the tires as needed, and rotate them if uneven wear is detected. 3. Owners should closely follow the entire maintenance process. It is advisable for owners to verify whether the replaced engine oil is the original manufacturer-supplied product, as substandard oil can damage the engine.
I remember being curious about the first service mileage when I first bought my Sylphy. Generally, Nissan recommends the first maintenance at 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, whichever comes first. After the break-in period of a new car, changing the engine oil and oil filter is crucial to remove initial metal wear debris, ensuring the engine lasts longer. I usually go to the 4S dealership for this, as the first service is free and includes basic checks like tires, brakes, and electrical systems, saving on future repair costs. Don’t delay too long, as postponing maintenance may lead to increased fuel consumption or engine wear, affecting driving feel. Since then, regular maintenance every 5,000 kilometers has become my habit, not only enhancing the driving experience but also extending the car’s lifespan by nearly a decade. It’s advisable to check the manual or consult the dealership to confirm the specific schedule, as there might be slight adjustments based on the model year.
