Car first maintenance is divided into minor maintenance and major maintenance. Minor maintenance includes changing the engine oil and oil filter, while major maintenance includes engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. Here is a related introduction about car maintenance: 1. First Maintenance: Some manufacturers will base it on time or mileage, with the specific accurate first maintenance time according to the vehicle's user manual or warranty manual. The first maintenance is very important and free, so be sure to remember to do it to avoid missing it and affecting the car's third maintenance. 2. Maintenance Items: Main car maintenance items mainly include replacing engine oil, oil filter, transmission oil, spark plugs, cabin air filter, air filter, brake fluid, etc. However, not all items need to be replaced every maintenance, as it depends on their service life. In addition, maintenance also involves inspection and maintenance of dozens of items across multiple systems such as the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires.
The first maintenance service typically includes changing the engine oil and oil filter, checking tire pressure and wear, adjusting the brake system and lights, and inspecting the chassis and suspension for any looseness. I remember when I first bought my car, during the initial maintenance, I found out they also update the software diagnostic system to prevent future malfunctions. I recommend paying extra attention to the condition of the coolant and brake fluid, as early checks on these small details can extend the car's lifespan. Don't worry about the cost; the first maintenance is mostly free—just bring the maintenance manual. During the process, they check the tires, chassis, and brake discs to ensure everything is functioning properly, making the new car run smoother. Overall, it's a great opportunity for a comprehensive vehicle check-up.
