Can I still drive when the car prompts for maintenance?

You can continue driving, but regular maintenance is essential. Without proper maintenance, the car will gradually lose its stable and optimal condition over time. If a malfunction occurs in any part, a warning light will illuminate. Once the warning light comes on, it's important to pay attention and get the car inspected and serviced as soon as possible. Here are some key points to note about car maintenance: 1. The standard maintenance items for a vehicle include engine oil, oil filter, transmission fluid, spark plugs, cabin air filter, engine air filter, fuel filter, and brake fluid — totaling eight items. 2. For the first maintenance service, it is necessary to change the engine oil and oil filter, add fuel system cleaner, inspect the engine cooling system, check the coolant level and electric cooling system, and examine other components and fluids as well. 3. If the local environment is harsh or road conditions are poor, the maintenance intervals should be shortened accordingly, especially for the engine air filter and cabin air filter.
