Should the first maintenance be done after only driving 1,000 km in 3 months for a new car?

If a car has only been driven a little over 1,000 km in three months, the first maintenance may not be necessary. The first maintenance is the initial service for a car, typically recommended at 5,000 km/6 months (with some exceptions). Many brand dealerships, aiming to shorten customers' maintenance intervals, now advise customers to perform maintenance at 3,000 km/3 months. The service is due when either of these two thresholds is reached first. First maintenance includes: Changing the engine oil and oil filter, checking all vehicle lights, inspecting fluid levels, verifying the functionality of all electrical systems, examining tires and adjusting tire pressure, inspecting the chassis components for any issues, checking for oil leaks in the engine and transmission, and ensuring they are functioning properly. Additionally, a professional diagnostic tool will be used to perform a computer scan of the entire vehicle, and the maintenance reminder will be reset. First maintenance mileage: Different car brands and models may have varying requirements, but most commonly, the first maintenance is recommended between 3,000 to 5,000 km. Some brands may extend this interval to around 8,000 to 10,000 km.
