5 levels of periodic maintenance according to mileage for cars

(Baonghean.vn) - Every car goes through periodic maintenance periods corresponding to the number of kilometers traveled; the periodic maintenance levels applied by car manufacturers for each type of car are almost the same, usually after 5,000, 15,000, 30,000, 40,000 to 100,000 km of vehicle travel.

1. After 5,000 km

Normally you do not need to change the engine oil every 5,000 km, unless the vehicle is regularly operated in severe conditions.

The 5,000 km routine maintenance usually checks the inside and outside of the car; such as checking the warning lights on the dashboard, the air conditioning and sound system.

During this regular maintenance for your car, in addition to changing the engine oil, you should also change the oil filter. This will help remove the dirt that the oil filter retains during operation, and at the same time, the engine is lubricated with clean oil and always works well.

On the other hand, experts advise that you should change the oil filter at the same time as changing the car's oil, which means every 10,000 km of operation.

Additionally, at this level of car maintenance, you should also rotate your tires if necessary, and then continue rotating your tires at subsequent maintenance intervals.

3. After 30.00 km

5. After 100,000 km

After every 100,000 km of operation, the engine coolant may have deteriorated, forming deposits that affect the vehicle's cooling system.

In addition, some parts such as spark plugs, brake pads, etc. should also be replaced if necessary to ensure absolute safety while driving.
