How Many Kilometers Should a Car Be Serviced?

[DeLukas]

New cars generally require their first service after 3,000 kilometers or 5,000 kilometers. Below are the relevant details about car maintenance: 1. First Service: Some manufacturers determine the exact timing based on either time or mileage, with the specific accurate first service time referenced in the vehicle's user manual or warranty manual. The first service is very important and is usually free, so it's essential to remember to do it to avoid missing it and affecting the car's third service. 2. Maintenance Items: The main items of car maintenance include replacing engine oil, oil filters, transmission fluid, spark plugs, air conditioning filters, air filters, brake fluid, etc. However, not all items need to be replaced during every service, as it depends on their service life. In addition, maintenance also involves the inspection and upkeep of dozens of items across multiple systems, including the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires.
