What is the appropriate mileage for the first maintenance?
1 Answers
5000 kilometers is the appropriate mileage for the first maintenance. The first maintenance for a new car should be done either after six months or upon reaching 5000 kilometers. From the time a new car leaves the factory until it is delivered to the owner, there is always a period of time involved. Therefore, the oil change cycle should be calculated based on the factory date. Although new cars undergo pre-break-in, the engine may still shed some metal particles that were not completely worn off during initial use, which can affect the lifespan of the engine oil. Owners should perform maintenance at six months or 5000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Routine maintenance items include replacing the oil filter and air filter, which are beneficial for the vehicle.
