Quick answer: Match the maintenance schedule to the exact model, market specification and service booklet. Leopard 5/Bao 5, Leopard 7/Ti7 and Leopard 8/Bao 8 are not one service programme.
Which maintenance schedule applies to your car?
Start with the model on the registration and handbook, the model year and the selling market. A China-import Leopard and an officially supplied UAE DENZA may share a model-name family without sharing the same service contract, parts or warranty eligibility. For the model relationships, use the Leopard 5/7/8 specifications guide.
| Vehicle to confirm | Published UAE reference | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| UAE DENZA B5 | The local aftersales FAQ describes an initial service at 15,000 km or one year, whichever comes first. | Confirm the subsequent schedule for your VIN in the service booklet. |
| UAE DENZA B8 | The local FAQ lists a first service at 3,500 km or six months, then 10,000 km or one year, whichever comes first. | Separate the first service from later visits. |
| BYD Ti7 / Leopard 7 | Use the BYD service route rather than copying a DENZA schedule. | Request the exact Ti7 service programme for your delivered vehicle. |
| China-import Bao 5, Tai 7 or Bao 8 | A UAE model-name match does not establish an imported vehicle’s maintenance or warranty terms. | Match its original handbook and your supplier’s written service agreement. |

Maintenance and parts checklist
Use this list when requesting an itemised service quote. Inspection, replacement and warranty coverage are different questions; a part’s warranty period is not its replacement interval.
| Item | What to ask the workshop |
|---|---|
| Engine oil, filter and spark plugs | Confirm whether your exact vehicle has a petrol engine, then use its specified oil and replacement schedule. Do not copy a PHEV schedule to an EV. |
| Cabin filter and air-conditioning | Ask whether inspection or replacement is due for this car and its dust exposure; do not assume a universal two-year interval. |
| Brake fluid, pads and discs | Request the handbook interval and condition report. Regenerative braking does not remove the need for inspection. |
| Engine and battery cooling circuits | Confirm the correct circuit, fluid specification and procedure. These are not interchangeable household top-ups. |
| Tyres and alignment | Record tyre size, wear and pressure-label requirements; ask which rotation and alignment work is actually due. |
| 12V battery and wipers | Ask for condition-based checks and the correct part specification. The 12V battery is separate from the high-voltage battery. |
| High-voltage battery or drivetrain warning | Use the appropriate authorised or qualified service route; a warning is not evidence that routine battery replacement is due. |
How to order the correct spare part
- Provide the model year, market specification and the existing part number or clear label photo. Share a VIN privately with the service provider when needed.
- Ask whether the quote is for genuine, aftermarket or refurbished parts, and whether a superseded part number is being used.
- Confirm fitting labour, any programming or calibration, lead time and the return conditions for a mismatched item.
- Check warranty eligibility separately from parts availability. A seller offering a part does not prove that the manufacturer will cover an imported vehicle.
Warranty and service costs
Read the warranty document supplied with your vehicle. Basic vehicle cover, traction battery cover, wear items and a paid service plan can have different conditions. The current local aftersales pages publish terms, but they are not proof that a particular imported VIN qualifies. Ask for an itemised quote instead of treating a generic “easy” or “cheap to maintain” statement as a price estimate.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use one schedule for Leopard 5, 7 and 8?
No. Check the exact vehicle, selling market and handbook; the UAE references distinguish B5, B8 and the BYD Ti7 service route.
Does a parts warranty tell me when to replace that part?
No. Coverage limits and scheduled replacement are separate. Use the maintenance booklet and the inspection result.
Can a China-import Leopard use UAE DENZA warranty automatically?
A model-name relationship does not establish coverage. Confirm eligibility and exclusions for the specific VIN with the provider.
Does Autosupp supply all Leopard maintenance parts?
