The first maintenance items for MG ZS include: 1. Replace engine oil, oil filter, clean the air filter, and check whether the generator belt and wiper blades are damaged; 2. Check whether the levels of various fluids are normal; 3. Check whether the tire pressure is normal and whether there is any uneven wear, bulging, or damage to the tires; 4. Inspect the car chassis, including the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and CV joints for any scratches; 5. Check whether all switches and lights in the car are working properly. The dimensions of MG ZS are 4323mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1653mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2585mm.

I've been driving my MG ZS for several years now, and I remember the first service was done at around 5,000 kilometers. The items were quite basic but very important. First was changing the engine oil and oil filter, which is the core part to keep the engine lubricated and reduce wear. Second was checking the brake fluid and coolant levels to ensure safety. Third was inspecting tire pressure and wear to avoid the risk of blowouts. They also checked the lighting system, such as headlights and turn signals, to make sure they were working properly. Additionally, the technician would test the battery charge and run a diagnostic on the software system to ensure the infotainment system was up to date. At the time, I went to the 4S dealership for the free first service and felt the service was quite thorough. The whole process took about one to two hours, and they even included a free car wash. Honestly, regular maintenance keeps the car running smoothly and extends its lifespan. I advise new car owners not to delay it to avoid costly repairs later, especially for compact SUVs like the MG ZS that are driven daily on city roads. Proper maintenance saves both hassle and money in the long run.

The first maintenance items for the MG ZS are actually quite straightforward, focusing mainly on preventive maintenance. For example, replacing the oil filter helps filter out impurities and protect the engine's operation. Checking the brake fluid level ensures stable braking force and reduces the chance of accidents. They also inspect the cooling system, such as ensuring the antifreeze is sufficient to avoid overheating issues. Additionally, they measure tire pressure, perform balancing adjustments, and clean the rims, which helps save fuel and reduce bumps. The lighting system is also a must-check, including bulbs and wiring connections to prevent nighttime lighting problems. Personally, I think these items are simple but crucial. Getting the first maintenance done after driving a few thousand kilometers is like a warm-up, allowing the machine to break in smoothly. I often remind fellow car owners not to miss the free first maintenance opportunity to avoid minor issues turning into major repairs. Especially during seasonal changes, paying extra attention to fluid conditions can save a lot of future trouble.

I just had the first maintenance service done on my MG ZS. The main items included changing the engine oil and filter, checking fluids like brake fluid and coolant, as well as tire pressure. If the pressure is too low, it can lead to higher fuel consumption and greater safety risks. The lights also need to be checked, and the brake pads should be inspected for wear. These steps are usually handled for free by the 4S shop and take just over half an hour to complete. After the service, the car feels quieter and smoother to drive. Remember, the first maintenance should not exceed 5,000 kilometers or six months to protect the engine and extend its service life, saving you from costly repairs in the future.

Is a Four-Wheel Alignment Necessary When Rotating All Four Tires?

Rotating all four tires does not require a four-wheel alignment. As long as the chassis has not been impacted, there is no need for an alignment—only wheel balancing is necessary. The functions of wheel balancing include: 1. Enhancing driving comfort; 2. Reducing fuel consumption; 3. Extending tire lifespan; 4. Ensuring straight-line stability of the vehicle; 5. Reducing wear on chassis suspension components; 6. Improving driving safety. A four-wheel alignment involves adjusting the geometric angles of the tires, steering, suspension, and other components to ensure proper tire contact with the ground. The installation of the vehicle's four wheels, steering mechanism, and front and rear axles must maintain specific relative positions, which are set by the manufacturer as standard values. Adjusting and restoring these positions is what constitutes a four-wheel alignment.

What Type of Engine Oil is Suitable for the Mazda Atenza?

The Mazda Atenza can use the original fully synthetic engine oil with a viscosity of 0W-20. If you want to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose international brands such as Shell, Mobil, or Castrol. It is recommended to use 5W-30 or 0W-30 engine oil. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, resulting in smoother cold starts for the car. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher value means the oil can maintain its viscosity index better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the Mazda Atenza is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan. Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out. Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter. Apply some oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand. Add the new oil through the oil filler cap on the engine's valve cover, usually filling about three-quarters of the oil container. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are leaks, repairs should be made. After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to check if the oil level is within the standard range.

How much engine oil does the new Mondeo require?

1.5T version of the Mondeo requires approximately 4 liters of engine oil, while the 2.0T version requires around 5.5 liters. The oil change interval and precautions are as follows: Oil change interval: Generally, the engine oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers. It is recommended to use the original manufacturer's oil during changes, as it ensures compatibility and prevents potential issues later on. Precautions for oil change: Do not mix different brands or types of engine oil, as this can lead to impurities, clogging the oil system. This may cause symptoms such as poor acceleration, unstable engine idle, difficulty starting, and in severe cases, may affect the engine's lifespan.

What transmission is the DSG based on?

Developed based on manual transmission. DSG refers to the transmission model used by Volkswagen. Similar issues occurred with the previous generation of transmissions, where some models experienced the "death flash." If this malfunction occurs while driving, it poses a significant safety hazard. Some car owners have reported instances where the vehicle suddenly loses power during driving, especially during acceleration. Additional information: DSG stands for Direct-Shift Gearbox. Unlike conventional automatic transmissions, the DSG is developed based on manual transmission rather than automatic transmission. This is because the DSG transmission allows for both automatic and manual shifting while driving, with manual shifting offering faster response times compared to standard manual transmissions. With Volkswagen's transition to a new platform, significant efforts have been made in engine tuning, not only resolving issues like the death flash and oil consumption but also greatly improving engine power and shift speed.
