1.The 10,000-kilometer mark is essentially the second maintenance service. The main tasks include changing the engine oil and oil filter, removing and inspecting the air filter, conducting routine checks for oil leaks or seepage in the engine and transmission, checking tire pressure and wear, and ensuring all fluid levels are adequate. Below is more detailed information: 1. Maintenance Items: The air filter and cabin air filter should be removed, cleaned, and reinstalled. If they are too dirty, they should be replaced. If you are not very familiar with car maintenance, it is recommended to refer to the maintenance manual, which lists the required maintenance items at specific mileage intervals. Follow the instructions in the maintenance manual strictly. Reject any additional items recommended by the 4S shop that are not listed in the manual. Other checks include lifting the chassis to inspect it, checking the coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid levels. If any fluid is low, ensure there are no leaks. 2. Maintenance Manual: For the recommended maintenance schedule and items, please refer to your maintenance manual, which includes the manufacturer's suggested intervals and tasks. Note that recommendations may vary between manufacturers, so check carefully. During the warranty period, it is advisable to have maintenance performed at a 4S shop.
After driving my new car for 10,000 kilometers, I went for the first maintenance service. It felt quite simple but very important. They mainly changed the engine oil and oil filter because the oil gets dirty after prolonged engine operation, and not changing it in time could affect performance and fuel consumption. They also checked the tire pressure and wear, adjusting them to the proper levels to prevent excessive wear or blowouts. Additionally, they inspected the braking system to ensure it was responsive and reliable. The air filter is usually cleaned or replaced to avoid dust clogging the engine intake. Finally, they checked the levels of various fluids, such as coolant and brake fluid, to make sure they were normal. The whole process didn’t take too long, but it helps prevent major issues. Especially for a new car, it’s important to develop a habit of regular maintenance to keep it running smoothly and safely.
