Is Car Service Cycle Calculated by Mileage Or Time?


But do you really understand car maintenance?

Many friends will get 《 product quality guarantee"And 《 instruction manual", there are detailed use precautions and maintenance methods in the" Operation Manual ". New car owners should read carefully to ensure that the vehicle is in good use condition.

A few days ago, I received a question from a friend. She said: I always received a phone call from the 4S store these days to remind me to do maintenance. After my car head was guaranteed, I only drove more than 2,000 kilometers, it is less than 5,000 kilometers required for maintenance. However, people in 4S store said that my car has reached the 6-month maintenance time limit, so which one shall prevail for 6 months and 5,000 kilometers?

In fact, the score is as follows:

  • Drive a lot to see the mileage

  • Some car owners drive more frequently, go to work on weekdays, go out on weekends, and have more mileage, so they can maintain according to the mileage, for example, 5000 kilometers, 10000 kilometers, 15000 kilometers, 20000 kilometers, etc.

  • Watch the time if you drive less

    Some car owners only drive out on weekends after buying a car, and even can't drive several times a month. They only run thousands of kilometers a year. In this way, maintenance can be carried out according to the driving time. If you drive less, you can also delay it more than the specified time.

Besides service cycle, what else should I pay attention?
