It is very convenient to travel after buying a car. However, some friends use less vehicles due to various reasons such as the short journey to work and congested urban roads. That is, if you use a car on weekends, the mileage is only 5,000 kilometers in a year. So you will be entangled in whether your car needs to be maintained or not. If the car is not maintained for more than a year, there will be problems. Let's discuss the following about vehicle maintenance.

Recently, a friend was urged by a 4S shop to do maintenance. The reason is simple. My friend’s BMW 5 Series ran for about 5,000 kilometers in a year and did not change the oil during this year. Only then did I encounter a 4S shop urging maintenance. .
The recommended maintenance mileage in the BMW 5 Series maintenance manual is 10,000 kilometers or one year, whichever comes first will be maintained.

One year's time has come, although the mileage is only 5,000 kilometers, it should be maintained according to the maintenance manual.
When it comes to maintenance, the role of oil has to be said. Automobile oil has the functions of lubrication, sealing, cleaning, noise reduction, temperature reduction, and rust prevention.
Engine oil is divided into three types: mineral oil, semi-synthetic engine oil and fully synthetic engine oil. The maintenance period of different engine oils is also different. Under normal circumstances, mineral oil is changed for 5000 km or three months; semi-synthetic engine oil is changed for 7000-8000 km or half a year;

Fully synthetic engine oil is replaced at 10000-15000 km. If you use fully synthetic motor oil for 5000 kilometers to replace it, it is obviously over-maintenance, which also causes a great waste of oil. This is why some consumers always feel that there is over-maintenance in current 4S stores.
General vehicle car warranty manuals indicate that the regular maintenance of the vehicle is 5000 kilometers or 6 months, whichever comes first. Although the vehicle is driven less, various oils and consumable parts will have a replacement cycle. As time goes by, the consumable parts will gradually age and the performance will decrease. The antioxidants and detergents in the engine oil will also slowly decompose. Although the lubricating effect is still there, the cleaning and anti-oxidation effects are no longer available, and the protection of the engine will be greatly reduced.
This is also the reason why one year has come, and the mileage is only 5,000 kilometers, and maintenance is required. In addition, the machine filter is the same. Except for the long-term machine filter, the ordinary machine filter will be time-effective, and the performance will also be greatly reduced when the time is up.
In addition to these vulnerable and consumable parts, the battery of the vehicle also needs attention.
The current vehicle configuration is quite rich. Some configurations will consume power even if they are not used. When the car is driven less, the battery cannot replenish the power in time, and it is easy to lose power over time. Regular maintenance will check whether the battery is losing power. If the voltage is insufficient, you can also maintain the battery, and the car will be more comfortable to drive.
to sum up
During the warranty period, the vehicle should be maintained in accordance with the requirements of the dfsk 4S shop. Regardless of whether the number of kilometers is reached or not, the time is up, even if it has been driven for 100 kilometers, it must be maintained.
If there is a problem with the vehicle, the 4S shop may find an excuse not to provide the warranty. At that time, if you want to defend your rights, you will find that the cost and time and energy paid are too high.
