What materials are needed for the first car maintenance?
2 Answers
Car maintenance manual, warranty certificate, maintenance card, and driving license. Here is more information about car maintenance: 1. Precautions: Maintenance of the car engine, prevention of evaporation of gasoline and water, replacement of car wipers, renewal of car mats, and maintenance of the car body. 2. Maintenance cycle: Brake fluid must be replaced every two years or 50,000 kilometers, and the brake warning system and brake booster must be checked; for manual transmission vehicles, the transmission gear oil should be replaced every 12 months or 5,000 kilometers. Cars equipped with automatic transmissions should regularly check the transmission gear oil, and the gear oil should be replaced every 30,000 kilometers.
As a new car owner, I was very excited for my first car maintenance. Bringing the vehicle's owner's manual is crucial as it contains the free service coupon and detailed instructions for the first maintenance. It's also essential to carry my identification documents, such as a driver's license or passport, to prove I'm the vehicle owner. A copy of the vehicle registration certificate is important too, allowing the service center to verify the information. Don't forget the car keys, as the technician needs to start the engine for inspection. Keep the purchase invoice or contract handy in case of dealer benefits. I also recommend making an appointment in advance and checking the maintenance deadline in the manual to avoid expiration. The maintenance process usually involves an oil change and basic servicing, and having all the materials ready can save time and prevent extra trips. Last time, I forgot the manual and wasted half an hour waiting, so now I've developed a habit of keeping everything in a folder. After the maintenance, be sure to ask about the next service date to keep the car in good condition.
