Will the vehicle still be under warranty if the first maintenance is not done at a 4S store?

If the first maintenance is not done at a 4S store, the vehicle will not be under warranty. Even if the vehicle is within the warranty period, as long as the maintenance is not performed according to the requirements of the 4S store, it is equivalent to automatically voiding the warranty. The purpose of the first maintenance: The purpose of the first maintenance is to check if there are any issues with the car, change the engine oil, and replace the filter. Because the running-in period of the vehicle is before the first maintenance, as the engine gradually breaks in, mechanical impurities such as dust, metal wear, and carbon deposits will continuously mix into the engine oil. This is why the engine oil during the running-in period cannot operate at high speeds. Precautions for the first maintenance: Be sure to change the engine oil, oil filter, and clean the air filter. Check whether the coolant level of the car is in a normal state. Inspect the car's brakes and whether there are any scratches on the chassis components. Check if the power steering fluid level is normal and if there are any oil leaks at the oil pipe connections. Inspect the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and the aging and tightness of the belts. Check the tire pressure and wear condition; if there is wear, perform tire rotation. Remember to bring your user manual for the first maintenance, read the manual carefully, and understand the maintenance mileage, time, items, and costs for your vehicle.
