What happens if a new car exceeds 3,000 kilometers without maintenance?

[NolanFitz]

Exceeding 3,000 kilometers without maintenance for a new car won't cause any major issues. Manufacturers typically recommend the first service at 5,000 kilometers. Vehicle maintenance cycle: The maintenance cycle is preset when the vehicle leaves the factory, so a "wrench" symbol will periodically appear after certain mileage to remind the driver for timely service. Generally, the maintenance interval is every 5,000-8,000 kilometers driven, with the factory setting usually exceeding 8,000 kilometers. Routine maintenance items: Engine oil maintenance: Engine oil, also called lubricant, reduces engine wear while providing cooling and lubrication. There are three types of engine oil: Full synthetic oil: Replacement recommended every 10,000-12,000 kilometers. For seldom-driven vehicles, the oil may emulsify and lose effectiveness, requiring annual replacement. Semi-synthetic oil: Replacement recommended every 8,000-10,000 kilometers. Mineral oil: Requires replacement approximately every 5,000 kilometers.
