What items are included in the first maintenance?

The first maintenance generally involves a simple oil and oil filter change, followed by a comprehensive vehicle inspection. If everything is normal, there are no other items that need to be replaced. The first maintenance of a new car must include inspection and replacement of six parts: 1. Oil and oil filter must be replaced, and the air filter must be cleaned; 2. Check whether the coolant level is normal; 3. Inspect the car's brakes and undercarriage components for any scratches; 4. Check the power steering fluid level and whether there are any oil leaks at the oil pipe connections; 5. Inspect the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and the aging and tension of the belts; 6. Check the tire pressure and wear condition, and perform tire rotation if there is wear.
The first maintenance items mainly include changing the engine oil and filter, which can remove debris generated during engine break-in and protect internal components; checking tire pressure to ensure stability and fuel efficiency, preventing instability at high speeds; testing the brake system to see if the pads and fluid are normal, avoiding unexpected skidding; inspecting coolant levels and battery condition to prevent overheating or startup failure. New cars have an adaptation period, and these checks can uncover potential issues. For example, during my last first maintenance, a small bulge was found on a tire, and early repair prevented the risk of a blowout. Don’t skip it to save money, as minor issues can turn into major repairs later, costing more. It’s recommended to keep regular records for easier warranty claims.
