What to Do If the First Maintenance Reaches 6000 Kilometers?

The service center will stamp the maintenance seal on it as proof of normal maintenance to avoid disputes over warranty coverage. Making an appointment for service is a good habit, as it can at least save you from waiting in line.
I also exceeded the first maintenance mileage after buying my car last year. New cars accumulate metal debris during the break-in period, and the oil change should be done at 5,000 km. Although you went over to 6,000 km, it won’t cause immediate major issues. The most urgent thing now is to take your car to a 4S shop or a professional repair shop for an engine check. They will perform a thorough inspection, including an oil change and cleaning the filters. Explain your delay—usually, they’ll be understanding and it won’t affect the warranty. Remember to set a mileage reminder on your phone to avoid missing future maintenance. Proper maintenance can keep your car running smoothly for years without breakdowns. I’ve been through this, so I know handling it early brings peace of mind.
