The key items for the first maintenance of a new car are changing the engine oil and oil filter. Replacing the engine oil and oil filter during the first maintenance is crucial because debris and impurities generated by the engine operation, if not promptly removed, may cause abnormal damage to the internal cylinders. The first car maintenance must be done within three months. It is stipulated that the first maintenance for a new car should be performed at three months or 5,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. This means that even if you have only driven 2,000 kilometers in three months, you still need to go for the first maintenance, or if you reach 5,000 kilometers in two months, you should also go for the first maintenance. After the first maintenance is done, the second maintenance or subsequent services can be delayed by one or two months. The free maintenance items for the first car maintenance generally include: Changing the engine oil, tightening chassis screws, checking tire pressure, inspecting all vehicle fluids, checking all vehicle lights, cleaning the air filter, cleaning the air conditioning filter, cleaning engine dust, and topping up windshield washer fluid and radiator coolant. Additionally, some additional paid services may be recommended, such as engine internal cleaning or installing an engine guard. The benefits of the first car maintenance are: Ensuring the vehicle is in excellent performance condition; improving vehicle efficiency and reducing wear on parts and tires; enhancing driving safety; preventing potential hazards; reducing noise and environmental pollution; maintaining the vehicle's appearance and preventing damage. Preparation for the first maintenance: Before going for the first maintenance, call the 4S shop to make an appointment. Due to the increasing number of vehicles, service workshops at 4S shops are often crowded. Without an appointment, you might have to wait for hours before getting service. Items to bring for the first maintenance include: driver's license; maintenance manual; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle registration certificate; and the car purchase invoice. If you encounter any issues or have questions while driving, note them down and inform the staff during the first maintenance registration. This will help the technician inspect all potential problems during the first maintenance.

What to Do About BMW Burning Oil?

Aging valve seals are the cause. Solution: Remove the engine cylinder head and replace the valve seals. If blue smoke is emitted from the exhaust pipe when the car is hot, it indicates poor sealing of the piston rings. Remove the oil pan and replace the piston rings. Additionally, preventing contact between water, air, acidic harmful gases, and parts, as well as cleaning dirty parts, can also solve the problem of oil burning.
