A manual transmission car requires a major maintenance at 60,000 kilometers. Major and minor maintenance are alternated: Major maintenance is based on minor maintenance, and these two types of maintenance are alternated. The time interval varies depending on the car brand and the vehicle's condition. Generally, it is recommended to perform a "minor maintenance" every 5,000 kilometers. During "minor maintenance," the oil filter and engine oil are replaced. It is advisable to choose an authorized 4S shop for maintenance, as although the price may be higher, the quality is guaranteed. Major maintenance items: First, check the tire wear and replace if necessary. If the water temperature is normal, the brakes are functioning properly, the antifreeze is not cloudy, there is no need for replacement. If the idle is stable, there is no shaking, high gear shifts are smooth, fuel consumption has not significantly increased recently, low gear shifts when the car is warm show no noticeable hesitation, there is no significant loss of power, then there is no need to clean the throttle or replace the spark plugs. If gear shifts are smooth without any stiffness, the transmission oil can be considered for replacement after 80,000 kilometers. Additionally, routine maintenance includes engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and checking the engine and transmission for any oil leaks or seepage.
