How Many Months for the First Maintenance of a New Car?
1 Answers
The first maintenance for a new car is recommended at 3 months or 5,000 kilometers. Generally, manufacturers specify both the time and mileage for the first maintenance, whichever comes first. Even if the mileage hasn't been reached when the time comes, the maintenance should still be performed. Failing to do the first maintenance on time may result in the 4S shop refusing to record the information into the nationwide warranty system, leading to a loss of warranty coverage. The key tasks for the first maintenance of a new car include changing the engine oil and oil filter. Since the period before the first maintenance is the running-in phase of the vehicle, the engine gradually wears in, and mechanical impurities such as dust, metal wear, and carbon deposits continuously mix into the engine oil. Therefore, changing the engine oil and oil filter during the first maintenance is crucial. If the debris and impurities generated by the engine are not removed in time, it may cause abnormal damage to the internal parts of the cylinder.
