4S shop first maintenance mainly involves replacing the engine oil and oil filter. The following is a related introduction to car maintenance content: 1. Air filter: The engine needs to suck in a large amount of air during operation. If the air is not filtered, the dust in it will accelerate the wear of the piston group and cylinder. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can also cause severe "cylinder scoring." The function of the air filter is to filter out dust and particles in the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinder. 2. Gasoline filter: The function of the gasoline filter is to provide clean fuel for the engine, filtering out water and impurities in the gasoline. This optimizes engine performance and also provides the best protection for the engine. During car maintenance, the staff will conduct other inspections based on the specific condition of the vehicle and may add other maintenance items, such as inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of the engine-related systems, tire alignment inspection, inspection of various fastening components, etc.
I just had my new car's first maintenance service, and the whole process was quite straightforward. The main tasks were changing the engine oil and oil filter. The 4S店 technician said these are the core items because the new car's engine will produce debris during the break-in period, and timely cleaning can extend its lifespan. They also checked the tire pressure, brake system, lights, and battery connections to prevent minor issues from accumulating into bigger problems. I noticed the technician also replaced the air filter, which wasn't mandatory according to the manual, but in big cities with heavy dust, it helps protect the engine's air intake. The whole service took about two hours. I also asked if fuel consumption would stabilize after maintenance, and indeed, the car runs smoother now when driving home. As a working professional, this kind of regular maintenance makes commuting much more worry-free. Never try to save money by delaying it.
