What Items Are Replaced During a Car's First Maintenance?
2 Answers
During a car's first maintenance, the engine oil and oil filter are replaced. Normally, maintenance is performed based on mileage, typically every 5,000 to 6,500 kilometers. Regular car maintenance tasks include frequent car washing, and the areas that should be regularly inspected are the tire surface, tire pressure, oil level, coolant level, and brake fluid level. The items for a car's first maintenance include: 1. Checking whether the coolant level meets the specified requirements; 2. Checking the brake and clutch fluid levels; 3. Checking whether the power steering fluid level meets the specified requirements and inspecting for any oil leaks at the system's oil pipe connections; 4. Checking the battery fluid level and the windshield washer fluid level.
I just got my new car and took it for its first service after driving about 5,000 kilometers. The technician mainly replaced three things: first, the engine oil – after some driving, the oil in a new car gets dirty and needs to be replaced promptly to keep the engine clean; second, the oil filter, which is responsible for filtering out impurities – if not replaced, dirty oil can cause engine wear; and third, the air filter – if the air quality is poor or you drive on dusty roads, the filter element may get dirty quickly and need replacement. During the service, they also checked the tire pressure, brake disc thickness, and headlight brightness for free, making adjustments as needed to ensure safety. I think the first service is extremely important. After the break-in period of a new car, a thorough check can prevent small issues from turning into major problems, extending the car's lifespan and saving money. I recommend everyone go to the 4S shop for service on time.
