How Soon Should the First Maintenance Be Done for a New Car?
1 Answers
Generally, the first maintenance for a new car should be done within 3-5 months or after driving 3,000-5,000 kilometers. Some vehicles may even require it after up to 8,000 kilometers, depending on the specific technical conditions of the vehicle. Below are other checks to be performed: 1. Tightening nuts: During the first maintenance, nuts in various parts of the new car should be checked. This is because, during manufacturing, some screws may not be tightened to their full torque to account for the vehicle's break-in period. During the first maintenance, all screws will be tightened to the specified torque. 2. Chassis inspection: The first maintenance includes checking the chassis for any scratches, underbody damage, corrosion, or oil leaks. 3. Tire inspection: This mainly involves checking whether the tire wear is even. Uneven wear could indicate potential alignment issues. Additionally, tire pressure should be checked and adjusted as necessary.
