When Should the First Maintenance Be Done?
1 Answers
The first maintenance should be done as written in the car's user manual. Normally, a new car needs its first maintenance after driving 5,000 kilometers or six months, whichever comes first. The first maintenance is the car's initial service, which only requires changing the engine oil and oil filter, followed by some routine inspections. When the car is manufactured, the car manufacturer adds initial engine oil, which is more suitable for the break-in period. After the break-in period, this oil should be drained and replaced with regular engine oil. Engine oil not only lubricates but also cleans, seals, cushions, prevents rust, and dissipates heat in the engine.
