What to Do When the Car Maintenance Time is Due but the Mileage Hasn't Been Reached?

[KadenLee]

For situations where the mileage hasn't been reached but the maintenance time is due, it can be handled in two ways: 1. Within the warranty period: If the car is still under warranty and the maintenance time is due but the mileage is far from being reached, you can contact the 4S store to inquire if the maintenance can be postponed. If an agreement is reached, keep the proof and go for maintenance a bit later. Delaying maintenance has little impact on the car itself because the most accurate maintenance cycle is specified in the vehicle's user manual. However, 4S stores often shorten the maintenance cycle for profit. But if the mileage is almost reached, it's recommended to follow the 4S store's regulations for maintenance. 2. Outside the warranty period: For cars outside the warranty period that still use the oil and parts specified in the user manual, follow the maintenance cycle in the manual. If higher-grade oil or better-quality parts are used, the maintenance cycle can be appropriately extended, depending on the actual condition of the car. There's no need to follow the 4S store's advice.
