How many months should a new car wait for its first maintenance?
1 Answers
New cars should undergo their first maintenance within 3 to 5 months, typically around 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers. Manufacturers usually specify the first maintenance time and mileage, whichever comes first. The first maintenance items for a new car include: 1. Changing the engine oil, cleaning the air filter, and checking the levels of various fluids; 2. Inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for any damage; 3. Checking tire pressure and looking for signs of uneven wear, bulges, or damage; 4. Examining the chassis, brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and CV joints; 5. Verifying the proper functioning of all switches and lights in the car. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing.
