Scorpio still uses a 2.0L engine and a 2.5L displacement V engine to a 2.5L inline engine. As we all know, the inline engine is mature and reliable, the process is simpler than the V-type engine, and it is easy to operate during maintenance. In this way, is there a better advantage in the maintenance of the new era?

● Maintenance manual (complete vehicle warranty)

Since mid-2012, Dongfeng Nissan's vehicle warranty period has been changed from 2 years or 60,000 kilometers to 3 years or 100,000 kilometers, and the warranty period has been extended by 1 year and 40,000 kilometers.

● Price and working hours:

The 4S shop offers three engine oil options. The three oils are also SL grade with a viscosity of 30. The mineral oil is 10W-30, the semi-synthesis is 5W-30, and the total synthesis is 5W-30. In addition to the mineral oil only 4L, the semi-synthetic amount is fully synthesized with 4L and 1L. Since the intake air volume of the 2.0L and 2.5L engines is different, the air filter requirements for the two engines are different. Finally, the price of the two air filters can be seen from the table. In addition, the 2.0L and 2.5L engines use different spark plugs, so the price is not the same, but the working hours of the two are the same.

Maybe you think that the working hours for changing the brake fluid is so high? This is because after the brake fluid is replaced, it needs to be drained. Two people need to cooperate. Finally, the brake fluid is filled into the brake pipe, and the air of the pipe is completely emptied, which takes about 1 hour.

● 60,000 km maintenance cost

According to the Maintenance Manual, Scorpio must be serviced every 3 months or 5000 km, and the accessories and items that need to be replaced during each maintenance cycle are different. In addition to the maintenance contents of the "Maintenance Manual" according to the manufacturer's requirements, there are also various free inspections of vehicles. Note that the free value of 1000 km or 1 month is free of charge, excluding oil and oil filter.

First, 2.0L model maintenance costs:

Oil and oil filters are available free of charge for 1 month or 1000 km and 3 months or 5000 km. In addition, there is also a gasoline filter designed for maintenance-free operation. Since the gasoline filter is integrated on the gasoline pump, it has not been replaced separately. Because it involves 3 kinds of replaceable oil for the owner to choose, this article only chooses mineral oil as the replacement oil; in addition, because the 2.0L engine only needs 3.5L oil, and the oil is calculated in barrel, the minimum is only 1L, so here Calculated according to the amount of replacement of 4L.

The oil is changed every 3 months or 5000 kilometers. There are mineral oils of SL grade 10W-30 produced by Sinopec, semi-synthetic engine oils with Shell grade viscosity of 5W-30 and Shell grade 5W-30. Fully synthetic motor oil is available. If the use of the car is small and the environment is better, it is recommended to use SL mineral oil which is cheaper. If the environment is poor and the vehicle is used for a short time, it is recommended to use SL semi-synthetic motor oil. Other oils and fittings can be replaced according to the cycle specified by Dongfeng Nissan.

It should be noted that the new generation Scorpio CVT transmission oil has been changed from the past NS-2 to the current NS-3CVT oil. When adding or replacing CVT oil, it must be checked by the CONSULT diagnostic instrument of Nissan 4S shop, if the wrong CVT is used. Fluid can cause damage to the transmission and is not covered by the warranty. In addition, the NGK LZKAR6AP-11 type spark plug is used by Scorpio, and the replacement period is 100,000 km. The service life is longer and the price is more expensive. Finally, the type of coolant is: L255N, different types of coolant can not be mixed to avoid corrosion caused by chemical action.

Second, 2.5L model maintenance costs:

The 2.5L and 2.0L engine maintenance uses the same accessories and oils, while the oil is recommended to use a SL-grade semi-synthetic or fully synthetic motor oil with a viscosity of 5W-30, which is good for engine operation. In addition, it should be noted that the 2.5L engine needs to be replaced with 4.5L of oil, and the oil can only be packed in 1L minimum. Therefore, the final oil replacement is replaced by 5L oil. Note that the free value of 1000 km or 1 month is free of charge, excluding oil and oil filter.

Summary: The new era Scorpio 2.0L model and the 2.5L model have similar maintenance intervals, but there are differences in maintenance accessories. The 2.0L model uses less oil than the 2.5L model, and it also stands out in the price of oil. To this end, after every 5,000 km of oil and a periodic maintenance project to calculate the cost, the 2.0L model maintenance price is lower than the 2.5L model.
