The frequency of car maintenance usually depends on the mileage and usage of the vehicle.
New cars have a higher maintenance frequency in the initial mileage. New cars need to be maintained for the first time when they have traveled 5,000 kilometers or about 6 months. After that, the intervals for regular maintenance are generally 5,000-10,000 kilometers or 6-12 months. During the running-in period of the vehicle, the maintenance requirements are high, so the maintenance frequency is also relatively high.
The maintenance cycle for different types of vehicles is different. The maintenance cycle for fuel vehicles is generally 5,000-10,000 kilometers or 6-12 months for regular maintenance. The maintenance cycle for new energy vehicles is mostly 10,000 kilometers, mainly for battery packs and electric motors. The first maintenance of pure electric vehicles is usually around 5,000 kilometers, and then every 10,000 kilometers, which may be slightly different for different models.
The maintenance frequency in harsh environments may need to be adjusted. If the vehicle is often driven in harsh environments, such as hot, dusty or congested urban roads, the maintenance interval may need to be shortened appropriately.
Maintenance requirements for high-end models or new technology vehicles. Some high-end models or vehicles using new technologies may have specific maintenance requirements that need to be followed in accordance with the recommendations of the automaker.
Major maintenance interval. When the vehicle has been used for a period of time, the major maintenance interval may be extended. Some automakers may recommend a medium maintenance every 20,000-30,000 kilometers, or a major maintenance every 40,000-60,000 kilometers, including replacement of brake fluid, coolant, air filter, etc.
