At what mileage should the second car maintenance be performed?

Car second maintenance should be performed when the new car mileage reaches 10,000 kilometers. In addition to the first-level maintenance items, the maintenance scope includes checking and adjusting the working condition of the engine and electrical equipment, dismantling and cleaning the oil pan and oil filter, checking and adjusting the steering and braking mechanisms, and dismantling and cleaning the front and rear hub bearings. Add lubricating oil, dismantle and inspect tires, and perform rotation. The main purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean and tidy, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. After the second car maintenance, the performance of the new car is basically stable. Thereafter, depending on the car condition and usage habits, a minor maintenance should be performed every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers, and a comprehensive check-up maintenance every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers.
I bought a new car last year, and I remember the first maintenance was done at 5,000 kilometers. The second maintenance is usually around 10,000 kilometers, but it depends on your owner's manual. That time, I went to the 4S shop at 10,500 kilometers, and the mechanics carefully checked the engine oil, filters, and tire wear. The manual emphasizes maintenance every 10,000 kilometers, which helps detect minor issues early and prevents engine carbon buildup or failures. Back then, I heard a friend delayed until 12,000 kilometers before going, and the engine oil was dirty, costing hundreds more for parts replacement. A car is like a person; regular check-ups ensure long-term health. Don't cut corners to save trouble. Each maintenance takes about half an hour, making driving much more reassuring.
