What are the precautions for the first car maintenance?

Precautions for the first car maintenance include: 1. Remember to bring your user manual for the first car maintenance, carefully read the manual content to understand the maintenance mileage, time, items, and costs for your vehicle; 2. Make an appointment with the 4S store in advance, and bring your driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, purchase invoice, and first maintenance voucher; 3. The first maintenance for a new car is generally free. During the maintenance, the 4S store will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the car, such as tire pressure, windshield washer fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze, whether the chassis is loose, and whether there is oil leakage in the engine or transmission. The first maintenance mainly involves replacing the engine oil and oil filter, as well as a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle.
I've gone through several new car first maintenance services, and I think the most important thing is to go on time without delay. Generally, after driving 5,000 kilometers or half a year, you should take your new car to the 4S shop for inspection, otherwise the warranty may become void. I always bring the user manual and carefully compare the maintenance checklist to confirm items like oil change, oil filter, and air filter replacement as the basics. Don't forget to ask the technician to check the brakes and tire wear, which are often overlooked by beginners. I learned this the hard way when delayed maintenance caused slight engine wear. Now I always make appointments on time and keep a maintenance diary. After the first maintenance, don't rush to leave—ask more about vehicle usage tips, which can help you spot minor issues earlier. In short, develop good habits to protect your new car and extend its lifespan.
I just bought my first car and I'm really excited but a bit nervous, afraid of messing up the first maintenance. I recommend making an appointment with the 4S store in advance and bringing the purchase manual to avoid unnecessary trips. The first maintenance is usually within 5000 kilometers or six months, and free items include oil change and chassis inspection. I asked the technician a lot of questions, like how to identify abnormal noises, and they were very patient in explaining. Don't be shy to ask about details, such as tire pressure or light testing, to ensure everything is safe. I also learned how to check the engine oil dipstick daily, and now I drive with more confidence. Remember, this is the basis of the warranty, so don't be late, and record all the results for future reference.
