[Pacific Auto Network Car Center] Chevrolet Cruze as a representative of the A-level, maintenance situation may be of great concern. So what kind of maintenance can Cruze maintain in DIY? What is the difficulty of maintenance? What is the type of accessories? Please see the detailed maintenance of this issue.

The original vehicle maintenance manual contains the maintenance instructions for all models of the 2011 Cruze. In order to get more accurate and accurate maintenance information, we first investigated the maintenance cycle given in the manufacturer's maintenance manual and the recommended maintenance items for each cycle. At the same time, we adjusted the maintenance table and manufacturer's recommended maintenance from the 4S shop according to the situation of the city car. The table is combined and adjusted. The following are the after-sales maintenance recommendations in the vehicle manual:

At present, the Cruze series has a total of 1.6L, 1.8L and 1.6T engines on the market. In fact, all three engines are Ecotec series engines, so all three engines can be said to be derived from the same model, so they are The technical indicators are basically the same, and the accessories are basically the same. Except for the models equipped with turbine engines that require high-quality oil and better spark plugs, the 1.6L and 1.8L models are identical in terms of accessories. Cruze is equipped with a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed manual in the gearbox. Due to the same technology, the maintenance manuals for all models of the Cruze are the same, and the maintenance items are the same. At the same time, the manufacturer provides a warranty of 2 years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.

Maintenance manual (recommended by clicking to enlarge):

We can see from the maintenance manual that the maintenance form period marked on the instruction sheet is 10,000 km, but the replacement period of the oil and oil filter is 5000 km, which means that the actual maintenance cycle of Cruze is 5000 km. The replacement period of air filter and air conditioner filter is 20,000 kilometers, which is considered to be quite satisfactory in the same class. Among them, the transmission oil needs to be inspected every 30,000 kilometers of maintenance. The automatic transmission oil is replaced at 60,000 kilometers, and the manual transmission oil is 80,000 kilometers. Among them, manufacturers recommend adding a fuel additive to each maintenance with a turbo model. Please see the table below for details:

The replacement of the fuel filter is mainly to prevent fouling of the dirt, resulting in an increase in daily fuel consumption. The owner can adjust the cycle according to different local oil conditions or follow the advice of the 4S shop. The air-conditioning filter is replaced every 20,000 km. This cycle can be adapted to most areas. If the dust storm is serious in your area, the cycle can be adjusted appropriately. In the case of Cruze's gearbox and steering oil at 30,000 km, it is necessary to check whether the oil needs to be added. The maintenance cycle of spark plugs is more frequent than that of the same class.
