When is the first maintenance?

The first maintenance is due at 3,000-5,000 kilometers or 3-5 months. The first maintenance for a new car is special as it belongs to the break-in period maintenance. Unlike regular car maintenance which follows a fixed cycle, manufacturers specify both time and mileage limits for the first maintenance, whichever comes first. Below is relevant information about car maintenance: 1. Car maintenance, also known as vehicle servicing, refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle. 2. Car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and other related components. 3. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.
After getting a new car, my top concern is the first maintenance schedule. The first service is usually done within 3 to 6 months after delivery or after driving 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers, depending on your car's maintenance manual. Last time when I accompanied a friend for the first service, I specifically asked the technician. He said the key tasks for the first maintenance are changing the engine oil and oil filter, and some cars also require system upgrades. If you drive on construction sites daily or frequently take short trips, I'd recommend doing it a bit earlier to remove metal debris from the engine break-in period sooner. Remember never to exceed the first maintenance deadline, as it may affect the warranty. Nowadays, 4S shops are quite smart - my car's central display automatically pops up a reminder when maintenance is due.
