Tiggo 8 Maintenance Schedule

Hey everyone, let’s dive into the maintenance schedule for your Chery Tiggo EIGHT/Pro/Pro Max. Keeping your Tiggo in top shape is crucial, and understanding its maintenance needs is the first step. We’ll break down the schedule into daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual checks you can do yourself, plus the routine servicing you’ll want to get done at a certified Chery center.

First up, the daily checks. Before you even start your engine, take a quick look around. Check your tire pressure – make sure they’re inflated to the correct PSI, which you’ll find in your owner’s manual. Give your tires a visual inspection too, looking for any cuts, bulges, or unusual wear. A quick glance at your fluid levels – engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid – is also a good idea. Don’t worry about precise measurements daily, just a quick visual check to make sure everything looks topped up. And finally, a quick sweep around the car to check for any obvious damage or anything unusual.

Now, let’s move on to monthly checks. This is where we get a little more detailed. This month, you should check your windshield washer fluid level and top it off if needed. Also, take a closer look at your lights – headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals – making sure they’re all working correctly. A good time to check your wipers too, ensuring they’re clean and clearing the windshield effectively. And while you’re at it, give your battery terminals a quick visual inspection, looking for any corrosion. A little corrosion is normal, but excessive corrosion might indicate a problem.

Quarterly checks – that’s once every THREE months – involve a slightly more thorough inspection. This is a good time to check your belts and hoses for any signs of wear or cracking. Look for fraying, cracks, or any other damage that might indicate they need replacing soon. Also, check your air filter. A dirty air filter restricts airflow to your engine, impacting performance and fuel efficiency. If it looks dirty, it’s time for a replacement. And finally, give your car a good wash and wax – keeping it clean not only looks good, but also protects the paintwork.

Annually, you’ll want to do a more comprehensive check. This is a good time to have a professional check your brakes – pads and rotors – and your suspension components. You should also have your battery tested to ensure it’s holding a charge properly. And don’t forget to change your cabin air filter – this filter keeps the air inside your car clean and fresh. A clogged cabin air filter can lead to unpleasant odors and reduced airflow.

Now, let’s talk about the routine maintenance you’ll need to have done at a certified Chery service center. Every FIVE THOUSAND to SEVEN THOUSAND kilometers, you should have your oil and filter changed. This is crucial for the health of your engine. Also, at this interval, they’ll check other vital fluids and components.

Another service is due every FIVE THOUSAND to SEVEN THOUSAND kilometers. This is often a more detailed inspection, covering a wider range of components. Your service center will advise you on the specifics.

Every TEN THOUSAND kilometers or after ONE YEAR, whichever comes first, you’ll need another service. This often includes a more thorough inspection of your vehicle’s systems, including a check of your brakes, suspension, and steering.

Another service is scheduled every TEN THOUSAND kilometers. This service will likely focus on different aspects of your vehicle’s maintenance, depending on what was covered in previous services.

Finally, every FIFTEEN THOUSAND kilometers, there’s another scheduled service. This service often includes more extensive checks and potential replacements of parts that wear down over time.

Remember, this is a general guideline, and your specific maintenance schedule might vary slightly depending on your driving conditions and the recommendations from your Chery service center. Always refer to your owner’s manual for the most accurate and up-to-date information. Regular maintenance is key to keeping your Chery Tiggo EIGHT/Pro/Pro Max running smoothly for years to come.

Hey everyone, let’s dive into the maintenance schedule for your Chery Tiggo EIGHT/Pro/Pro Max. Keeping your Tiggo in top shape is crucial, and understanding this schedule is the first step.

So, every TWENTY THOUSAND kilometers, you’ll want to focus on a basic check-up. This typically includes an oil change, filter replacements – oil, air, and cabin – and a thorough inspection of your brakes, tires, and fluid levels. Think of this as a quick health check for your Tiggo. It’s a good idea to check your owner’s manual for the exact specifications of the oil and filter types recommended for your specific model. Don’t forget to visually inspect your belts and hoses for any signs of wear and tear.

Now, at EVERY THIRTY THOUSAND kilometers or after ONE year, whichever comes first, we bump things up a notch. In addition to the TWENTY THOUSAND kilometer service, you’ll likely need a more in-depth inspection of your suspension components, checking for any unusual noises or play in the joints. This is also a good time to have your spark plugs checked, especially if you notice any changes in your engine’s performance. Remember, preventative maintenance is key to avoiding bigger, more expensive problems down the line.

Next up, at EVERY THIRTY THOUSAND kilometers or after TWO years, we’re looking at a similar service to the previous one. Again, the owner’s manual will be your best friend here, providing specific details on what needs attention. This is a good time to consider a more thorough inspection of your cooling system, checking for leaks or signs of corrosion. A professional mechanic can perform a pressure test to ensure everything is functioning correctly.

At EVERY FORTY THOUSAND kilometers or after TWO years, we’re getting into slightly more involved maintenance. This often includes a more comprehensive brake inspection, potentially including rotor resurfacing or pad replacement depending on wear. This is also a good time to consider a transmission fluid change, if applicable to your model. Always refer to your owner’s manual for the recommended service intervals for your specific transmission type.

Then, at EVERY FORTY THOUSAND kilometers, we’re back to a more routine service, similar to the TWENTY THOUSAND kilometer check-up, but with a more detailed inspection of all components. This is a great opportunity to catch any potential issues before they become major problems.

At EVERY SIXTY THOUSAND kilometers, we’re looking at a more significant service. This might include things like replacing the timing belt (if your Tiggo has one – check your manual!), coolant flushes, and a more thorough inspection of your electrical system. This is a good time to address any minor issues that might have been noticed during previous services.

At EVERY SIXTY THOUSAND kilometers or after THREE years, we’re again looking at a comprehensive service, similar to the previous SIXTY THOUSAND kilometer service. This is a good time to consider a fuel system cleaning, which can improve fuel efficiency and engine performance.

Every ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND kilometers or after THREE years, we’re talking about a major service. This is a good time for a thorough inspection of all major components, including the steering system, suspension, and drivetrain. This service often involves more extensive checks and potential replacements, so it’s best to have this done by a qualified mechanic.

At TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND kilometers or after FIVE years, we’re looking at another major service, similar to the ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND kilometer service. By this point, you’ll likely have a good understanding of your Tiggo’s needs and potential problem areas.

Finally, at FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND kilometers or after TEN years, we’re talking about a truly extensive service. This is a good time to consider a complete overhaul of major components, if necessary. This is a significant milestone, and it’s best to consult with a trusted mechanic to determine the best course of action.

Now, let’s talk about heavy-duty operation. If you frequently tow heavy loads, drive off-road, or operate your Tiggo under demanding conditions, you’ll need to perform routine maintenance every FIVE THOUSAND kilometers or SIX months, whichever comes first. This more frequent maintenance schedule is crucial to prevent premature wear and tear on your vehicle’s components. This will involve many of the same checks as the other service intervals, but with a much higher frequency.

Finally, let’s touch on performance materials. Using high-quality oil, filters, and other fluids is essential for maintaining the longevity and performance of your Chery Tiggo EIGHT/Pro/Pro Max. Investing in quality parts will pay off in the long run by preventing costly repairs and ensuring your Tiggo runs smoothly for years to come. Remember to always consult your owner’s manual for specific recommendations on the types of fluids and parts to use.
