Maintenance interval schedule

A community-shared maintenance interval reference for the FAW X80:

• Engine oil change: every 10,000 km.
• Manual transmission (MT) fluid change: 50,000 km.
• Automatic transmission interval: not specified in this discussion — see the dedicated AKPP fluid-change card for the fuller, disputed interval picture.
• Drive belt inspection: 120,000–140,000 km; replace if there are visible cracks, wear/fraying, or if the belt twists more than 45 degrees under finger pressure.
• Spark plugs: 40,000–50,000 km depending on usage — some owners have run them to 70,000 km before issues appeared.
• Air filter and cabin filter: should be checked during routine service (no fixed km figure given).

These are community-compiled figures, not an official factory table — treat as a starting reference rather than a guarantee.¹²³⁴⁵

Corroboration — 10,000 km oil interval for long-term reliability (2025-05 report). A separate owner corroborates the 10,000 km oil-change figure above with a reliability outcome: "if you change the oil every 10,000 km, you won't have any problems" — offered in the context of avoiding oil-consumption issues and engine wear over long ownership.⁶
