Note the items that need to be replaced, and periodically maintained according to the number of kilometers for cars is a job to ensure the car has high durability, stable operation and safety for users.

Maintenance of new car engines after 3,000 – 5,000km

Usually we will periodically maintain cars every 3000 km – 5000 km or 3-6 months of use. However, experts still recommend maintenance for newly purchased cars at about 3,000 km or 3-4 months of domestic use. So the car engine will be best taken care of in the first time…

The work you need to do for each of these routine maintenance is to change the engine oil, clean the engine air filter and the air conditioner filter. Normally, you don’t need to change the engine oil every 5000 km, unless the car is regularly operated in harsh conditions. But after the first 5000 km, you should change the oil because it may contain metal chips. You can then change it every 10,000 km. In addition, if you are more careful, you should ask the technician to check the level of brake fluid, transmission oil, coolant, glass cleaner, … and refill if lacking.

Replace tires according to the manufacturer’s recommendations

In principle of operation, the air filter has the effect of bringing clean air into the combustion chamber to increase ignition efficiency, thereby ensuring smooth operation of the engine. In case the air filter is dirty due to long-term accumulation of dust, the amount of air entering the engine compartment will be reduced, thereby causing the car to feel rough or consume more fuel than usual. After every 30,000 km, the engine air filter and air conditioner filter will be dirty and clogged, affecting the operation of the engine and your health. You need to change the engine air filter and air conditioner filter periodically after 30,000 km to make the engine work smoother and save fuel, and help the air conditioning system work well and protect your health. According to the usual recommendation of car manufacturers, customers should change the air filter every 30,000 – 40,000 km of use. However, this factor will depend on the usage process of each person. Therefore, every time you go for routine maintenance, if you find the air filter is too dirty, car users should change it immediately to ensure that everything works smoothly.

Replace the engine air filter after 30,000 – 40,000 km

During this second oil change, you should also change the oil filter. The oil filter is responsible for retaining dirt, helping the engine to be lubricated with clean oil and always running well. Experts recommend that it is best to change the oil filter at the same time as the oil change, ie every 10,000 km. In addition, at this point you should also rotate the tires if necessary, and then continue to rotate the tires every 10,000 km. In particular, for vehicles that operate about 20-30km a day with the condition that the engine oil is continuously heated, this timeline is quite accurate. In contrast, for cars that only travel less than 20km a day, the oil should be changed at an earlier time. The reason is because the car is less active, the amount of oil left behind will be more, over time, it can be clumps that adversely affect the engine, so it is necessary to change the oil earlier than the cars that operate a lot.
