Will a new car be damaged if left unused for 3 months?

If a new car is left unused for 3 months and has not yet passed the break-in period, it still needs to undergo the break-in process. Here are some maintenance tips for cars that are left unused: 1. Disconnect the battery: Loosen the ground wire of the battery and reconnect it when in use to ensure no power loss. Additionally, change the engine oil and oil filter every 5,000 kilometers. If the car is left unused for half a year, these should also be replaced. Brake fluid and gear oil should be completely replaced every three years. 2. Store in a garage: If possible, park the car in a garage. If parking outdoors, at least cover the car with a thick, multi-layered car cover to effectively reduce the impact of sunlight on the paint. Make sure the car cover fits properly to avoid unnecessary friction on the paint caused by wind.
