How is a new car generally maintained?

New cars generally require the following maintenance measures:
First, follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule. This usually includes having the car serviced at specific mileage intervals or after a certain period of time. Check the owner's manual for details on when to have oil changes, filter replacements, and other routine maintenance tasks.
Second, pay attention to the engine oil. Regularly check the oil level using the dipstick and make sure it is within the proper range. Change the engine oil and oil filter at the recommended intervals to keep the engine running smoothly.
Third, take care of the tires. Check the tire pressure regularly to ensure it is at the correct level as specified by the car manufacturer. This helps improve fuel efficiency and handling. Rotate the tires at the recommended intervals to ensure even wear.
Fourth, keep the car clean. Wash the exterior regularly to remove dirt, salt, and other contaminants that can damage the paint. Clean the interior to maintain a pleasant driving environment and prevent the buildup of dirt and debris.
Fifth, be gentle with the car during the break-in period. Avoid harsh acceleration, hard braking, and high-speed driving for the first few thousand miles. This allows the engine and other components to settle in and wear in properly.
Sixth, inspect the brakes regularly. Check the brake pads and discs for wear and have them replaced if necessary. Make sure the brake fluid level is correct.
Seventh, pay attention to the cooling system. Check the coolant level and make sure there are no leaks. Have the cooling system flushed and refilled as recommended.
Finally, keep an eye on warning lights on the dashboard. If any lights come on, have the car checked by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to address any potential issues.
