My Bora just had its first service not long ago. I remember the 4S dealership told me it's either 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, whichever comes first. At that time, I had driven 4,800 kilometers and it happened to be exactly 5 months, so I went directly. The mechanic said there would be metal debris in the engine during the break-in period of a new car, and not changing the oil in time could damage the vehicle. The whole process took about two hours, with free oil and oil filter replacement, plus checks on the chassis bolts and tire pressure. If you exceed six months, it might affect the warranty rights. It's recommended not to wait until the last minute - making an appointment a few days in advance can save queuing time.

The first maintenance milestone for the 2021 Bora is at 6 months or 5,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. I went ahead and did it early at 3,000 kilometers—no harm in extra checkups for a new car. The key is replacing the factory-fill oil, which contains impurities from engine break-in. The dealership also offers free ECU software updates to fix minor bugs. Remember to bring your purchase invoice and warranty booklet, and weekdays are less crowded. Missing the first maintenance deadline might void free coverage for subsequent repairs.

The Bora owner's manual clearly states the first maintenance should be done at 5,000 km or 6 months. Last time when my car reached 4,500 km, the system popped up a reminder, and that wrench icon on the dashboard was particularly noticeable. The timing of oil change is especially crucial because new car gear meshing generates fine metal particles. The service takes about 40 minutes, and they also check the brake fluid and coolant. If you exceed the mileage, you should get it done as soon as possible, otherwise it might affect the transmission warranty.

Why Is Insurance for a New Car So Expensive?

Reasons why new car insurance is expensive: 1. High insurance value of new cars: The insurance value, also known as the insured amount, refers to the value of the subject matter insured as the basis for determining the insurance amount when the policyholder and the insurer enter into an insurance contract. Unless otherwise agreed in the contract, the insurer shall reduce the insurance premium and calculate and refund the corresponding premium on a daily basis. 2. Relatively more insurance coverage required: New cars require relatively more insurance coverage because minor collisions are inevitable for new cars, so novice drivers need to purchase vehicle damage insurance. Vehicle damage insurance is a type of commercial auto insurance where the insurance company compensates within a reasonable range.
