When is the best time for a car's first maintenance?

[BrielleLee]

Car first maintenance is generally required at around 5,000 kilometers/6 months. The initial service includes minor and major maintenance. Minor maintenance involves changing the engine oil and oil filter, while major maintenance covers engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. Below are details about major maintenance items: 1. Air filter: The engine inhales a large amount of air during operation. If the air isn't filtered, dust particles can accelerate wear on piston groups and cylinders. Larger particles entering between pistons and cylinders may cause severe "cylinder scoring." The air filter's role is to remove dust and particles from the air, ensuring sufficient clean air enters the cylinders. 2. Fuel filter: The fuel filter provides clean fuel to the engine by filtering out water and impurities from gasoline. This optimizes engine performance and offers maximum protection. During maintenance, technicians will conduct additional inspections based on the vehicle's condition and may include other service items such as engine system cleaning, tire alignment checks, and inspection of various fasteners.
