What is the mileage for the first maintenance of the XC60?
2 Answers
The XC60 requires its first maintenance at 3,000 kilometers or 3 months. Overview: Car maintenance, also known as car servicing, refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. Maintenance Items: Common maintenance tasks include regular replacement of engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin air filter, and brake pads. Component Replacement Intervals: The air filter should be cleaned every 5,000 kilometers and replaced every 10,000 kilometers. Proper installation of the air filter can reduce wear on parts such as cylinders, pistons, and piston rings. The oil filter should be replaced every 5,000 kilometers. Proper installation of the oil filter prevents impurities from mixing into the engine oil during use, avoiding wear on moving parts and oil passage blockages. The fuel filter should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers or once a year. Precautions for New Car First Maintenance: After a new car is driven, the 4S store usually requires the owner to perform the first maintenance within 3,000 kilometers. Therefore, it is crucial not to exceed 3,000 kilometers before the first maintenance. Failing to follow the normal maintenance schedule as per the user manual means forfeiting the warranty, and the 4S store and manufacturer have the right to refuse warranty claims. Free checks such as tire pressure and lighting functionality must be performed.
I've driven several XC60s, and the first service mileage is usually 10,000 kilometers, as clearly stated in the owner's manual. At that time, I took it to the dealership for maintenance based on this figure. The technician checked the oil, filters, and also took a look at the brake system, ensuring proper engine lubrication and extending its lifespan. Looking back, manufacturers set this standard due to advancements in modern engine technology, unlike older models that required maintenance every 5,000 kilometers, saving a lot of hassle. However, I remind everyone to go on time, as delays can lead to increased wear or higher fuel consumption. It's best to book the service in advance and bring the manual and warranty documents. The whole process takes about an hour, and you can also discuss the next service plan while you're there.
