As the saying goes, “Repair is 30%, maintenance is 70%!” This saying is quite true. Many cars develop a series of problems because of delayed maintenance. Today, let’s share the maintenance cycle for cars.
Filters:
Air Filter: Every 20,000 km or 1 year, or every 10,000 km or 1 year. This depends on the quality of the filter.
Cabin Cabin Air Filter: Every 10,000 km or 1 year.
Fuel Filter: Every 60,000 km or 2 years.
Oil Filter: Must be replaced at every maintenance.
Fluids: Engine oil: First service at 3000 km or 6 months.
Regular mineral oil: Change every 5000 km or 6 months.
Semi-synthetic oil: 7500 km or 6 months.
Fully synthetic oil: ① Naturally aspirated cars: 10,000 km or 12 months. ② Turbocharged cars: 5000 km.
Transmission fluid: ① Manual transmission: Every 2 years or 60,000 km. ② Automatic transmission: 40,000 km.
Coolant: Every 2 years or 40,000 km.
