1 Answers
The first maintenance for a new car is typically due at around 3,000 kilometers or three months, whichever comes first. Some brands may require the first service at six months or 5,000 kilometers, also whichever comes first. Below is an introduction to the first maintenance for a new car: 1. The primary tasks of the first maintenance include changing the engine oil and replacing the oil filter. After a month or 3,000 kilometers of driving, the engine oil will inevitably contain some residue. Replacing it with fresh oil will help the vehicle achieve optimal performance. 2. The first maintenance involves multiple inspection items, such as checking the vehicle's lights, tires, chassis, various fluid levels in the engine compartment, and the onboard computer system. The most crucial step is replacing the engine oil and oil filter, which is the most valuable part of the first maintenance. Normally, the first maintenance includes a comprehensive check and diagnosis of the vehicle's condition and usage. Typically, the first maintenance is free of charge. If the technician suggests additional services not included in the first maintenance, the owner should inquire whether these services are chargeable before deciding whether to proceed. 3. Before the first maintenance, it is advisable to make an appointment with the 4S store in advance to avoid delays. Essential items such as the maintenance manual and vehicle registration should be brought along. Other required documents should be clarified during the appointment.
