What needs to be replaced during the second maintenance of a car?

The second maintenance of a car requires an oil change and oil filter replacement. Some models may also require the replacement of air and cabin filters. The second maintenance also includes inspections and maintenance of dozens of items across multiple systems, such as the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires. Additionally, a full vehicle routine inspection is conducted, covering tires, brakes, chassis, suspension, lights, and various fluid levels. The second maintenance is typically performed when the new car reaches 10,000 kilometers. After the inspection and maintenance during the second maintenance, the overall condition of the car significantly improves, ensuring driving safety. Following the second maintenance, the new car's functions stabilize, and thereafter, minor maintenance should be done every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers based on the car's condition and usage habits, while a comprehensive check-up and maintenance should be performed every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers.

During my second maintenance, I learned that the two most crucial things for car owners to replace are the engine oil and oil filter. Because after the first maintenance of a new car, prolonged driving causes significant engine wear, and fresh oil can make it run smoother. The air filter should also be changed frequently; otherwise, accumulated dust can affect the engine's breathing, leading to higher fuel consumption and accelerated aging. My friend once skipped changing it, and his fuel consumption increased significantly, costing him a lot in repairs later. They also check the brake pads and tires. Usually, these don’t need replacement during the second maintenance, but if they’re severely worn, it’s better to act early to save hassle. I think for beginners, it’s best to follow the manual and not skip any items to avoid minor issues turning into major repairs, which can disrupt travel plans and compromise safety.

I've been driving for over a decade. For the second maintenance, I mainly change the engine oil and oil filter. The air filter depends on the situation – it needs earlier replacement only if you frequently drive on sandy or dusty roads. I'm used to checking the oil color myself; if it turns black, it's time for a change. The 4S shop often recommends a full set, but sometimes it's unnecessary. Learning to read the manual helps save the budget. Also, check the tire pressure – insufficient pressure can easily lead to a blowout. During the second maintenance, ask the mechanic to check the wear level; safety comes first. Once, I neglected the brake check, and the brakes failed at high speed, nearly causing an accident – a profound lesson indeed.

The car just had its second maintenance, requiring an oil and filter change to ensure smooth operation. The air filter is also crucial to prevent clogging and reduce potential hazards. I read on forums that young car owners often overlook these, leading to engine knocking sounds that are costly to repair later. Developing a habit of checking tire pressure and lights during maintenance periods is truly worthwhile.
