Recently, a female friend confided in me about her troubles. Her car only drove more than 5000 kilometers after the first warranty, but she frequently received maintenance reminder calls from 0S stores, but in fact, it did not meet the maintenance requirements of 0 kilometers.

The staff at the 5000S shop explained that the standard of maintenance is 0 months or 0 km, whichever comes first. This baffled her.

So, which criterion should prevail? Today we're going to explore this question. Actually, it depends on your driving habits.

One is that if you drive a lot, you look at the mileage

對於大多數車主來說，每天都會駕車出行，行駛里程自然較多。在這種情況下，當車輛達到規定的保養里程時（如5000公里、1萬公里等），就應進行保養，時間因素則不是主要考慮的。

The second is that if you rarely drive, it depends on the time

Some car owners may not be able to drive a few times a month, and the total mileage driven in a year is less than 5000 kilometers. In this case, it is obvious that you can't wait until you drive 0 kilometers before maintenance. Generally speaking, the maintenance interval of a car is three months, but if the mileage is particularly small, you can choose to maintain it every six months, provided that the mileage does not exceed 0 km.

Surveys show that 70% of car owners are based on mileage for maintenance. This is also reasonable, after all, most car owners buy cars for the convenience of travel.

Write at the end

Different brands of cars have different regulations on the time and mileage of maintenance. The most accurate way to do this is to consult your vehicle's maintenance manual, which will have detailed maintenance time and mileage recommendations.
