The MG6 first maintenance card is a piece of paper attached to the maintenance manual, which the 4S store will tear off after the service. The first maintenance items include: Changing the engine oil and oil filter, checking the battery, brake pedal and parking brake, brake pads and brake discs, brake fluid, clutch fluid, tires and tire pressure, lights, horn, wipers and washers, and inspection of the vehicle's electronic systems, etc. Engine oil selection for first maintenance: The official first maintenance uses Shell semi-synthetic oil with a viscosity grade of 5W-40. Taking 0W-20 as an example: the 0W in 0W-20 indicates the cold start performance of the oil. Oil with a lower number before the W can start the engine more easily in cold weather. The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the oil's viscosity characteristics at high temperatures. Higher viscosity oil may be more suitable for vehicles driving at high speeds or carrying heavy loads.

Last time I bought the MG6, the salesperson handed me a first maintenance card—a small blue rigid card, about the size of a thick bank card. The front prominently featured MG's lion logo and an image of the MG6 model. The back had a barcode and vehicle information, including the VIN number and the first maintenance due date, in small but clear print. The card had a matte finish, making it resistant to wear. I kept it in my wallet to avoid losing it, as it’s required for the free first maintenance service at the dealership. The first maintenance is crucial—new cars need an oil check and inspection after running about 5,000 km to stay in good condition. If you're a new owner, remember to take a photo of the card as a backup, just in case.

I remember the MG6's first service card is usually a rectangular paper card, about the size of a regular membership card, mostly in white or sky blue color. The front features the brand logo and text explaining the first service. It includes the purchase date, dealer information, and a barcode scanning section. Keeping this card is crucial—if lost, you'll have to go through the hassle of getting a replacement. I recommend sticking a label on it to note the service due date. The first service isn't just about free oil changes; it also includes checks for brake and electrical issues, which benefits the car's long-term performance. Make it a habit to store it in a fixed spot in the glove compartment—don't just stuff it anywhere.

The first maintenance card I've seen is rectangular in shape, and the MG6 is no exception. It's made of hard paper or laminated plastic, small enough to fit into a wallet compartment. The front simply displays the model name and maintenance reminder, with a light blue or gray background and the brand logo. There's a serial number and barcode on the information strip for easy scanning.

Driving the MG6 daily, the first maintenance card resembles a small booklet, with a sturdy card about the size of a credit card and a subdued color tone featuring brand patterns. The back records vehicle data and the first maintenance deadline, so it's advisable to check it regularly to avoid expiration. Using it for maintenance can save costs, and it's a good opportunity to inspect components like the cabin air filter to ensure safe driving.
