This comprehensive guide will walk you through the essential maintenance milestones for your BYD Sealion 6.
Initial Maintenance (First Service)
Your BYD Sealion 6/Seal U DM-i's first service is a critical milestone that sets the foundation for its long-term health and performance. For most BYD DMI models, including the Sealion 6/Seal U DM-i, the initial maintenance should be performed at 3,500 km or 6 months, whichever comes first.
During this first service, technicians will:
- Change the engine oil and oil filter
- Perform a comprehensive vehicle inspection
- Check and adjust tire pressure
- Inspect brake systems
- Tighten necessary bolts and connections
- Check coolant levels and quality
Second Maintenance
The second maintenance should be carried out within 12 months after the first maintenance, or when the total mileage (EV + HEV) reaches 7,500 kilometers, or the HEV mileage reaches 5,000 kilometers, still taking the first one as the standard.
The second maintenance typically includes:
- Another oil and filter change
- Air filter inspection and possible replacement
- Brake system inspection
- Tire rotation and inspection
- Battery system check
Third and Subsequent Maintenance
For your third maintenance and beyond, BYD recommends service intervals every 7,500 km or 12 months, whichever occurs first.
Later services include all previous items plus:
- Potential replacement of fuel filter
- Cabin air filter replacement
- Comprehensive brake fluid check
- Cooling system inspection
- Transmission system check
Maintenance in Extreme Conditions
If you frequently drive in severe conditions (dusty areas, extreme temperatures, mountainous terrain, or frequent short trips), you may need more frequent maintenance. Always consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations tailored to your driving environment.
