Hello everyone, I'm your headline editor, and today I'm bringing you a piece of heavy news! Recently, an anonymous mechanic exposed a huge scam in the auto repair industry! Will you be fooled by the 5,000-kilometer oil change claim? Let's take a look at his real experience!
"This 5,000-kilometer oil change statement is pure foolishness!" said Xiao Li, a maintenance worker, bluntly. He has been in the auto repair industry for many years and knows the inside story and the pitfalls. According to him, this statement is just a consumer trap used to defraud car owners of their money.
Xiao Li told us that the 5,000-kilometer oil change is not based on a real need for vehicle performance. In fact, many car manufacturers make it clear in their official manuals that the oil change interval may vary depending on the model, the environment in which it is used, and the driving situation.
However, in order to make huge profits, some unscrupulous repair shops deliberately spread a fixed oil change interval, so that car owners mistakenly believe that the oil must be changed after 5,000 kilometers. In this way, they can reap the benefits of collecting unnecessary maintenance costs.
So, how often do you need to change the engine oil? Xiao Li told us that the most accurate judgment is based on the advice of the car manufacturer, combined with their own actual situation. Common indicators are mileage, time, or oil quality test results.
When maintaining a vehicle, car owners need to pay attention to the following:
1. Check your vehicle's manual regularly: Follow the manufacturer's guidance to understand your model's oil change cycle.
2. Be aware of individual differences: Individual vehicles are used differently, such as vehicles that drive frequently at high speeds, and oil changes may be relatively quick.
3. Oil quality inspection: Conduct regular oil quality testing, and decide whether the oil needs to be changed through the test results.

To avoid falling victim to this scam, there are a few precautions we can take:
1. Understand from multiple aspects: consult different car repair shops and seek professional advice.
2. Self-directed learning: Understand the relevant knowledge of the vehicle you drive, and master the basic guidelines of the oil change cycle.
3. Look for formal channels: Choose a reputable and reputable auto repair shop for maintenance and repair.
4. Supervision and rights protection: If you find the possibility of being slaughtered, report to the relevant departments in time to defend your legitimate rights and interests.
In the auto repair industry, we need to be wary of all kinds of hidden scams and consumer traps. Through the disclosure of this article, I believe you have a clearer understanding of the real situation of 5000 kilometers of oil change.
