Does a new car need maintenance after three months?

[DeKarter]

New cars require maintenance after three months for the following reasons: 1. New cars have a specified first maintenance period, and failure to participate in the first maintenance on time will be considered as out of warranty; 2. New cars have a break-in period, and driving more during the first three months for break-in will have a significant impact on the car's lifespan, safety, and fuel economy. The first maintenance items for a new car include: 1. Changing the engine oil, oil filter, and cleaning the air filter, checking whether the generator belt and wiper blades are damaged; 2. Checking whether the levels of various fluids are normal; 3. Checking whether the tire pressure is normal and whether the tires have uneven wear, bulges, or damage; 4. Inspecting the car chassis, including the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and CV joints for scratches; 5. Verifying whether all switches and lights in the car are working properly.
