What improvements can be expected after the first maintenance?

After the first maintenance, a new car normally completes its break-in period. Generally speaking, the changes you may notice include smoother gear shifts in the transmission and a certain degree of reduction in fuel consumption. Additional information: The break-in period of a new car has the following characteristics: 1. More driving issues: Due to factors such as improper assembly of parts, new cars tend to experience more driving issues during the break-in period. 2. Higher fuel consumption: To ensure the new car operates under light load during the break-in period, carburetor cars are equipped with speed limiters, which can easily lead to an overly rich air-fuel mixture, thereby increasing fuel consumption. 3. Lubricating oil is prone to deterioration: During the break-in period, the rough surfaces of parts and the small gaps between them can cause the lubricating oil temperature to rise. Additionally, many metal shavings are worn off and fall into the lubricating oil, making it more susceptible to oxidation and deterioration.

After driving for so long, I can really feel a big difference after the first service. First off, the throttle response is much quicker now—just a light tap and the car surges forward. The engine noise has also noticeably reduced, probably because the new oil flushed out the metal shavings from the break-in period and improved lubrication. As for fuel consumption, I remember it used to be around 10 liters per 100 kilometers, but now it’s dropped to just over 8, and running the AC doesn’t feel as taxing anymore. The 4S shop guy even replaced the air filter for free, saying it could extend the engine’s lifespan by two or three years. One thing to note, though: don’t rush onto the highway right after the service—wait a couple hundred kilometers to let the new oil circulate properly. All these improvements together make daily driving much more hassle-free.

I frequently drive long distances, and the most noticeable change after the first maintenance is the reduced fuel consumption. Previously, it was 9 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway, but now it's around 7.5 liters. The engine tachometer has also become more stable. After changing the oil, the vibration sensation has lessened, and even after driving continuously for two hours, my ears don't feel uncomfortable. The 4S shop tightened all the chassis screws, and now there are no creaking sounds when going over speed bumps. The mechanic also adjusted the tire pressure, saying it helps protect the suspension system. Even when using the air conditioner in summer, the compressor starts up less abruptly. The maintenance effect makes me feel like I've got a brand-new car. Next time, I plan to change the transmission oil earlier.

Driving feels much safer after the first maintenance. The mechanic found excessive water content in the brake fluid during inspection, and after a free replacement, the brakes are more responsive, especially effective in rainy conditions. All tires were adjusted to standard pressure, improving grip and making steering lighter. The electrical system was checked with no short-circuit risks, and all lights are functioning properly. Many break-in debris were cleared when replacing the oil filter, reducing engine carbon buildup. These changes have made family trips much more reassuring. The car's computer program was also updated for free, enhancing the clarity of the reverse camera. Although the maintenance only took an hour, the improvements are substantial.

My new car has only driven 3,000 kilometers, but after the first maintenance, the throttle feels noticeably lighter. The response is half a beat faster when pressing down, making overtaking effortless. At idle, the engine sound is almost inaudible, and I can turn the music volume down by half. The 0W20 full synthetic oil change has made cold starts much smoother, eliminating winter shudders. During the check, they found the right rear tire pressure was low; after topping it up, highway driving became much more stable. The air conditioning airflow has increased but runs quieter, with rapid cooling. They also reset the maintenance reminder for me, and the LCD screen looks pleasing. These small improvements combined have significantly enhanced the driving experience.
