At how many kilometers should the first car maintenance be performed?

Car first maintenance should be performed at 5000 kilometers or 6 months. Depending on the vehicle model, manufacturers may specify different maintenance intervals. Exceeding the manufacturer's recommended first maintenance mileage or time may affect the three-guarantee rights. The main items for first maintenance include: replacing engine oil and oil filter; checking the operation of the braking system, such as the gap and wear of brake pads and discs. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.
I paid special attention to the first maintenance after getting a new car. The requirements vary greatly among different brands. German cars like Volkswagen usually recommend around 5,000 kilometers, while Japanese brands such as Toyota and Honda generally suggest within 10,000 kilometers. The 4S shop will stick a reminder sticker on the windshield, so remember to check the manual in advance. Exceeding the mileage may lead to warranty disputes. The focus of the first maintenance is to replace the running-in engine oil containing metal debris and check the torque of the chassis screws. Last time, my friend went for the first maintenance after exceeding 1,200 kilometers, and the 4S shop lectured him for a long time.
