How to maintain a new car when you buy it? When should you maintain a new car?

Getting a car is a very happy thing for new car owners. In order to ensure the normal use of the new car in the future, maintenance should be started from the moment the car is received. There is no need to rush to do maintenance on the new car you just got. You can go for the free first maintenance after driving it for a while. So what kind of maintenance do new cars generally need?

How to maintain a new car after buying it

After we pick up the car from the 4S store, the first thing we need to do is to drive to the nearest gas station to refuel. Generally, the 4S store leaves less gasoline in the car, and the mileage on the dashboard is usually 0. It is recommended to find the nearest gas station and ask the 4S store.

Next, the most important thing is to remove all the plastic films on the car, as well as some packaging brought out from the factory. After production, the car body needs to be covered with films for protection. However, these films will have a negative effect when the car is on the road. For example, the film on the air intake will affect heat dissipation, and the film on the dashboard will affect the reading of driving data. All of these need to be cleaned after picking up the car.

When should a new car be serviced?

Maintenance after picking up the car is generally done after 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers, or after 3 to 6 months. The specific mileage varies for each car and each brand, and is based on the information provided by the 4S store when purchasing the car or the requirements in the vehicle manual.

It is best to avoid a certain degree of intense driving before the first maintenance of the car. After the vehicle is assembled, the various parts still need a certain degree of operation and running-in to reach the ideal optimal condition.

It is recommended to have a new car serviced every 5,000 kilometers. After 40,000 kilometers, you can use better engine oil and have it serviced once every 10,000 kilometers.

Some car accessories that you can't buy

There are also some car accessories that cannot be purchased: instrument dust covers (affect the deployment of airbags), large instrument panel ornaments (will turn into shrapnel and injure people when the airbag is deployed), seat belt buckles (invisible killers), plush steering wheel covers (will cause hands to slip), etc. Some car products can enhance our car experience, but some car products will endanger our lives and need to be selected with caution.
