What is the most suitable mileage for the first maintenance of the X-Trail?
2 Answers
The first maintenance for the X-Trail is when the vehicle reaches 1,000 kilometers or 1 month after purchase (whichever comes first). The first maintenance is free of charge, and the service includes a complimentary full vehicle inspection. The second maintenance is when the vehicle reaches 5,000 kilometers or 3 months after purchase (whichever comes first). The second maintenance is also free of charge, and the service includes an oil change, oil filter replacement, and a complimentary full vehicle inspection. Subsequent official maintenance intervals are maintained at every 5,000 kilometers or 3 months (whichever comes first). Apart from the engine oil and oil filter, the replacement cycles for other parts of the X-Trail are all over 20,000 kilometers. The air filter is replaced every 20,000 kilometers, the fuel filter every 20,000 kilometers, the cabin air filter every 20,000 kilometers, the brake fluid every 40,000 kilometers, the coolant every 40,000 kilometers, the manual transmission oil every 60,000 kilometers, the spark plugs every 100,000 kilometers, while the CVT transmission oil is maintenance-free for the lifetime of the vehicle. Official warranty period/parts warranty period: The X-Trail's vehicle warranty is 3 years or 100,000 kilometers (whichever comes first). Different parts have different warranty standards based on their durability. The three-guarantee validity period is 2 years or 50,000 kilometers (whichever comes first). The maintenance manual includes detailed notes on the three-guarantee responsibilities, covering purchase time, mileage, and vehicle faults. Owners should read it carefully to avoid missing out on their entitled rights.
I just bought the X-Trail not long ago, and based on my experience, the first maintenance is most suitable around 5,000 kilometers. When driving a new car, pay attention to the break-in period—during this phase, the engine components are adapting, and driving too aggressively can increase wear. I usually go to the 4S shop for a comprehensive check-up at 5,000 km, including an oil change, filter replacement, and chassis inspection. This ensures smooth engine operation and extends the car's lifespan. Last time, I did maintenance 3,000 km early and found a minor issue, which was quite timely. Remember to drive gently and avoid high speeds—it’s very beneficial for a new car. Overall, 5,000 km is a standard point, and the car manufacturer’s manual also recommends this number. Long-term neglect of maintenance may lead to costly major repairs—safety first.
