What does the MG6 first maintenance card look like?
2 Answers
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.
