From which day does the first maintenance period start?

The first maintenance date of a car is calculated from the day of vehicle pickup. The running period after pickup is generally around 3 months or 3,000 kilometers. Different car brands have varying requirements, which can be referenced in the manual. More information about the first car maintenance is as follows: 1. After a new car is delivered, the 4S store usually requires the owner to perform the first maintenance within 3,000 kilometers. In fact, the car manufacturer requires the owner to complete the first maintenance within 5,000 kilometers. Therefore, it should not exceed 5,000 kilometers before the first maintenance. 2. If the car is driven infrequently and it takes a long time to reach 3,000 kilometers, then the first maintenance should be done within three months. When purchasing the car, sales personnel often mention how many free maintenance services are included. In fact, the first maintenance is already free and doesn't count as a 'gift.' If three maintenance services are offered, then including the first one, there would be four free maintenance services in total. 3. For the first maintenance, changing the engine oil and oil filter is sufficient. If the 4S store suggests other paid maintenance items, they can be declined. Of course, free services like checking tire pressure and ensuring lights are functioning properly must be performed.
