Should Transmission Fluid Be Changed During the First Car Maintenance?
1 Answers
New cars do not require a transmission fluid change during the first maintenance. Generally, most vehicle models need a transmission fluid change approximately every 3 years or 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Alternatively, you can refer to the maintenance manual of your specific vehicle model, which provides clear guidelines on the replacement time and mileage. Below is an introduction to the preparatory work that should be done before the first maintenance: 1. Before going for the first maintenance, make an appointment with the 4S store by phone. Due to the increasing number of vehicles, service workshops at various 4S stores are often "packed with cars." Without an appointment, you may have to wait for a long time. 2. When going for maintenance, be sure to bring the maintenance manual and the vehicle's registration certificate. Although the 4S store will perform the routine (free) maintenance even without the manual, keeping detailed records in the maintenance manual is crucial for future maintenance rights and related matters. 3. Before going for maintenance, carefully recall any faults or questions encountered during daily driving, note them down, and inform the staff during the first maintenance to facilitate their relevant inspections.
