It is mandatory to perform the first maintenance within three months for a new car. The regulation states that the first maintenance should be done either at 3 months or 5,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. This means if you've driven only 2,000 kilometers in 3 months, you still need to do the first maintenance. Similarly, if you reach 5,000 kilometers in 2 months, the first maintenance is also required. After the first maintenance, the interval for the second and subsequent maintenance can vary by one or two months. The first maintenance typically includes replacing the oil filter, engine oil, and air filter. It is also important to check for oil leaks at the bottom of the engine and transmission, as well as inspect the chassis for leaks and rust. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as car servicing.
