Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Li. Regular maintenance actually means that according to the regulations of the 4S shop, the car is maintained every 6 months or 5,000 kilometers. But if you do this, you will find that it will cost a lot more money to maintain a car, and experienced drivers will also tell you that there is no need to maintain it so often. Once the engine has a problem, the car will basically be scrapped in advance, so we must maintain the car on time and replace the new oil before the oil fails to ensure that the engine is lubricated in place.
- Service intervals vary
I have raised the car for 12 years, in the past 12 years, only one of my cars is regularly maintained, and the remaining 3 have been driven enough mileage to do maintenance, 12 years of time to use, I have encountered a lot of maintenance problems and accumulated a lot of valuable car maintenance experience, only to know the difference between regular maintenance of cars and maintenance according to mileage. Today, I will explain to you the difference between regular maintenance of the car and maintenance according to the mileage, I hope it can help you.
Regular maintenance is quite different from maintenance according to mileage. Especially after using a better quality fully synthetic engine oil, the gap between this maintenance interval will be even greater. For example, according to the requirements of the 4S shop, 6 months or 5000 kilometers to maintain regularly, then you have to spend at least 2 times a year to maintain the car, and the more you drive, the more this money will be spent. Even if you have only changed the oil for two months, but you have driven enough for 5,000 kilometers, then you have to go for maintenance, and after 6 months, you have to maintain even if you haven't driven enough for 5,000 kilometers.
But it is not the same to maintain according to the mileage, let's use the SP level fully synthetic engine oil that is a little more expensive and of better quality, drive 10,000 kilometers and then maintain it again, then you can maintain it less once a year, and if you drive less, you can even insist on changing the oil for a year and a half. If you drive in good road conditions and don't get stuck in traffic, you can drive to about 12,000 kilometers and then go for maintenance, it doesn't matter, and there is no problem at all to extend one or two thousand kilometers. In this way, the cycle of changing your engine oil will be shortened, and the cost of using a fully synthetic engine oil is more than 500 yuan, and it is more than 500 yuan for a maintenance in a 4S shop.
- Maintenance costs vary
If you go for regular maintenance, even if you are in an outside repair shop, use cheap engine oil, twice a year, and it will cost at least 200 yuan each time. Don't talk about the kind of useless use of more than 100 at a time, you will regret it after many years. And if you only drive less than 5,000 kilometers a year, then you can basically change the oil once a year, and the cost of maintaining the car is reduced by half. And, if you are using a good quality fully synthetic engine oil, 500 is enough for a year of maintenance, and if you drive less expensive SP grade fully synthetic engine oil, it is absolutely no problem to insist on changing it for a year and a half, which means that you only spend 1000 yuan for maintenance in 3 years, and regular maintenance, even if you use more than 200 of this cheap engine oil, you will spend 1500 in 3 years, and the cost of maintenance is higher.
I suggest that no matter what the price of the car, you should use a good oil, you must not think that I drive a car of tens of thousands of yuan, and it is enough to eat coarse grains with cheap engine oil. I have calculated very clearly for you above, cheap cars should pay more attention to the cost of car maintenance, you use a good oil, and it is cheaper to change the oil for a long time. Moreover, cheap engine oil is certainly not as protective as expensive fully synthetic engine oil. I used to use cheap engine oil for regular maintenance, but after only 3 years of driving, the engine became high fuel consumption and weak power, and the noise was relatively large, so we must not think that we should eat coarse grains when maintaining the car, whether the engine is good or not, which directly affects the service life of the vehicle, don't be stingy.
The above is the main difference between regular maintenance and maintenance according to mileage, which are all my experience in exchange for losses, and I hope it can help you.
