　　Regarding the vehicle maintenance cycle and replacement items, the manufacturer will inform the owner of the vehicle through the maintenance manual attached to the vehicle when it leaves the factory. Because the data is based on the ideal design, the actual situation may not be achieved. Therefore, according to the local actual situation (such as fuel quality, air quality, road conditions) and the owner’s use, the repair stations in various places will give adjustment suggestions on the maintenance cycle and projects. In order to give you a more comprehensive understanding of the maintenance information of the repair stations and manufacturers, the following editors will introduce them to you respectively.

● Official maintenance cycle

　　Needless to say, Qin’s power system is known to all. It uses a combination of 1.5TI turbocharged engine and 110 kW motor. The combined power of the two kinds of power is 295 HP and the combined torque is 479 Nm. It is equipped with a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The manufacturer provided Qin with a normal warranty period of up to 6 years or 150,000 kilometers, which is more reassuring than other BYD models with 4 years and 100,000 kilometers. As for the warranty of the motor, BYD sets the warranty period of Qin’s power battery as a lifetime warranty, while the warranty period of the driving motor and various control modules is the same as that of the whole vehicle.

　　BYD kindly provided Qin with four times of free maintenance, when the vehicle traveled to 3,500 km, 11,000 km, 18,500 km and 26,000 km, and then the maintenance interval was 24 months or 7,500 km. Free maintenance includes the replacement of oil filter, brake fluid and gear oil and the addition of gasoline cleaner.

　　Qin’s engine oil and oil filter are replaced every 7500 kilometers. In addition, the air conditioner filter and air filter shown in the table are replaced once every 20,000 kilometers, the gasoline filter is replaced once every year or 20,000 kilometers, the spark plug replacement cycle is 25,000 kilometers, and the dual clutch gearbox oil is replaced for the first time at 55,000 kilometers, and then every 60,000 kilometers.

● Actual maintenance survey

　　We learned from BYD 4S stores in Chengdu that 4S stores all over the country are implementing the maintenance cycle and maintenance items given by the manufacturers in the maintenance manual, and the expenses are also based on the national unified standards. Let’s take a look at its specific maintenance details.

　　BYD has only provided Qin with one kind of engine oil at present, namely the original SM-class 5W-40 semi-synthetic engine oil, and the price is 282 yuan 4L. It is understood that this kind of engine oil is manufactured by FOSS Engine Oil for BYD, and it should have high reliability. From the table, we can see that the total maintenance cost of BYD Qin from car purchase to 63,500 kilometers is 3,768 yuan, and the price of each maintenance is not the same because of the different things replaced. Because the manufacturer presented some accessories and working hours for the first four routine maintenance, only the price of replacing other accessories was calculated for the first four times, excluding the price of oil, machine filter and working hours. The cost of replacing the oil and oil filter once is 372 yuan, which is the price of a small maintenance.

　　In addition, I need to explain a problem to you. Careful readers may see in the regular maintenance schedule (2) on the previous page that Qin needs to replace the motor coolant, which is the only thing that Qin needs to replace in motor maintenance. The replacement period is every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. However, because Qin is a new car, after consulting BYD 4S stores in Chengdu, Chongqing, Guangzhou and other places, we all said that Qin had not come to the store to replace the motor coolant for the time being, and the relevant price standards of the manufacturers had not been issued for the time being. Therefore, we didn’t add the related expenses in the detailed maintenance price, and we will add them in time after we improve the information. I hope you will understand.

　　Judging from the price list of Qin’s accessories, the prices of various accessories are not high, and the replacement working hours are also at the average level of independent brands. The following table shows the maintenance price comparison between Qin and BYD Sirui, which uses the same gasoline engine. At the same time, Toyota Prius, which is also a hybrid vehicle, is added as a comparison for reference only. From the results, Qin’s comprehensive cost is the lowest, mainly because the first four maintenance are paid by the manufacturer, while the gasoline model Sirui equipped with the same engine has higher overall cost due to the difference of working hours in different regions.

● More accessories display

Summary:

　　Because Qin is a hybrid vehicle, many friends are worried that its maintenance price will be much more expensive than that of gasoline vehicles, but from our maintenance survey, we can completely dispel this concern, and the overall cost is cheaper than that of gasoline vehicles. The manufacturer has also considered it very carefully. First, the battery module warranty period is set to lifetime warranty, followed by four routine maintenance gifts. These factors make Qin’s later maintenance cost very low. Qin’s car owners, remember to maintain it after running in Niubei. (Text/Figure car home Shen Cheng)
