What is the optimal mileage for the first maintenance of a new Sylphy?
2 Answers
The optimal mileage for the first maintenance of a new Sylphy is 5,000 kilometers. The first maintenance is the initial service after the vehicle leaves the factory and hits the road. In addition to the routine replacement of engine oil and oil filter, technicians will also inspect major components of the vehicle, such as checking the torque of suspension bolts and looking for any oil leaks in the engine or transmission, to prevent potential vehicle abnormalities. Therefore, it is essential to follow the recommended time or mileage and visit the 4S dealership for maintenance. Maintenance items include: replacing engine oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, transmission fluid, cabin air filter, and engine belt; inspecting spark plugs, tires, and braking system; topping up brake fluid; and cleaning fuel injectors and throttle body. First maintenance precautions: Confirm the first maintenance time and mileage for your car. Be sure not to miss the free first maintenance service due to exceeding the time or mileage limit. Schedule the first maintenance appointment in advance. It is recommended to call the local dealership's after-sales service one day in advance to book the first maintenance appointment. When scheduling the appointment, inquire about the required documents to bring, such as the purchase invoice.
I believe the first maintenance for the new Sylphy is best scheduled at 1,000 kilometers. The salesperson emphasized this when I bought the car, and the manual also prioritizes 1,000 km or within three months. As an owner, I completed the free inspection on time, including an oil change and tightening chassis bolts, which helps remove debris from the break-in period and makes the engine run smoother. Delaying it may lead to increased engine wear, higher fuel consumption, and repair costs several times more expensive than maintenance. The Sylphy is fuel-efficient, but timely maintenance is key to preserving its performance—generally, subsequent maintenance intervals are recommended at 7,500 km. Developing the habit early ensures peace of mind and safety.
