What is the mileage for the first maintenance of a new car?
1 Answers
New cars require their first maintenance at 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers, or within 3 to 5 months. Manufacturers specify both the time and mileage for the first maintenance, whichever comes first. Therefore, even if the mileage hasn't been reached when the time is up, the first maintenance must still be performed. Failing to do so promptly means forfeiting the warranty, and the 4S store or manufacturer may refuse to cover any subsequent issues. The first maintenance of a car is divided into minor and major services. A minor service includes changing the engine oil and oil filter, while a major service includes replacing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing.
