During the first car maintenance, you need to pay attention to: 1. The first maintenance time; 2. The first maintenance items that need to be done; 3. The oil used for the first maintenance; 4. Call to make an appointment for the first maintenance time; 5. Pre-check the problems existing in the vehicle before the first maintenance; 6. Pay attention to the changes in the vehicle after the first maintenance. The maintenance items for the first car maintenance include: 1. Replace the oil and oil filter, and clean the air filter; 2. Check whether the coolant content of the car is in a normal state; 3. Check the car brake and whether there are any scratches on the chassis parts; 4. Check whether the oil level of the power steering oil is normal and whether there is any oil leakage at each oil pipe interface; 5. Check the aging and tightness of the generator, air conditioner, water pump, and belt; 6. Check the tire pressure and wear condition.
The first maintenance is quite important, let me briefly share my last experience. Making a phone call to book an appointment in advance saves the most hassle, otherwise you might end up waiting for hours during peak times. Remember to bring the maintenance manual and vehicle license, don't leave them in the car as they're needed for counter registration. Upon arrival, the technician will first register the vehicle information - this is when you should clearly explain any minor issues you've encountered while driving, such as abnormal engine noise or brake squeaking. The first maintenance mainly involves changing the engine oil and oil filter, make sure to choose the correct oil grade, fully synthetic is best. Try to find time to observe the chassis inspection, things like loose screws or oil leaks are visible to the naked eye. Finally, remember to keep the maintenance receipt, it's safer to take a photo and store it in cloud storage as these serve as maintenance records for future car sales.
