READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL.
read the maintenance and pms (preventive maintenance servicing) needs of the car, po, and follow them to the word.
medyo mahaba.. but you can and should, do it, bit by bit.. chapter by chapter.
and when in doubt, ASK.
happy driving.

brand new naman yan (i assume) so wala kang dapat gawin o bilihin para mag maintain. just read the owners manual and follow the PMS schedules.

keep it clean at all times. nothing beats the feeling of a clean car. if you are not adept pa in doing DIY cleaning, read through the internet or allocate a portion of your budget for regular cleaning and once a month waxing.

best of all, enjoy.... hindi ka bumili ng car para problemahin ang maintenance. bumili ka ng car para ienjoy.

So wala pa bibilhin like sa lubricant oils para sa car? Siguro yung pang linis lang muna dapat bilhin.

nope. leave that to the casa first during your PMS schedules.

To add to this, make sure you have in your glovebox a copy of your OR/CR and delivery receipt, insurance papers, photocopy of your driver's license and other documents you might need. I leave my service manual there too so I don't have to remind myself every PMS.

You need to have an Early Warning Device stowed in your car as well.

Good-to-have's inside the car:
Emergency kit
Trunk organizer
Small trash can

^I agree with keeping things clean. Even if you can't yet do DIY car washing or detailing, just making an effort to keep the inside clean is should be enough.

You have to maintain sanity too.

So something that you can do to improve yourself or your spirituality when stuck in the unnerving traffic here in the Metro.....

However, from my limited experience nothing beats this- if you have "someone I can talk too (it had to be you)....."[Dan/Ford-Coley]; Traffic would be a bliss if you have this person and... "I've got all that I need right here in the passenger seat......knowing that she's inches from me...."[S. Speaks]... Just keep your eyes on the road bro.....

This is my only advice. Huwag OA sa brand new car.

Remember cars are there to make our commute bearable, it's still just a vessel to bring as from point A to point B.

Huwag masyadong mas mahal mo pa kotse mo kesa sa sarili mo. [emoji16]

May iba pag naglilinis ng car e kinakalas pati gulong. That's dedication.

I enjoy detailing, it's something I do to pass my time. So I am a bit particular with my car's paint

BTT:

1. Do the PMS religiously.
2. Address problems immediately
3. Know where and how to park properly
4. Keep essentials in your car

Learn engine braking.

palitan ng mas malaking mag wheels! then drop it low!
palitan ang stock HU at speakers, at dagdagan ng subwoofer with amplifier!



kidding aside, here are some important things from the owner's manual:
1. familiarize yourself with the dash displays and warnings, and know what does it mean.
2. familiarize yourself how to open the gas tank lid, the trunk, and the bonnet (had seen and heard a lot of funny stories about this, hehe!).
3. know how to check the fluid levels of your car.
4. learn how to change tire. try it at home to have a personal feel.
5. make it a habit to check the tire pressure. buy a tire pressure gauge; looks can be deceiving.

save, save, and save some more! puro palabas ang pera once bumili ka ng car.

ooops! i almost forgot, give your new car a name! hehehe!

Hindi ba tuturuan ng dealership mga basic maintenance before ilabas ang car? Yung mga fluids ng car ay sa dealership din ba binibili or kahit saan pwede na?

[lowslowbenz]

Of course, you can do all of these and much more, in the relative safety of your garage.

i have yet to see a dealership who will gather its customers in one room and conduct a series of lectures regarding car ownership.
but one can always ask their senior mechanics. and participate in car portals like here.
some dealerships may not honor items not purchased from official sources (them!). "you are captive to the dealership for the duration of the warranty period."

Hindi ka tuturuan ng basic maintenance. Dyan sila kumikita eh pag may papagawa ka sa casa.

Pwede ka bumili ng fluid sa labas. Ang question is papayagan ka ba ng casa mo without voiding car warranty?

Yung mga change oil ba kasama yan sa mga PMS sa casa?

[cast_no_shadow]

Of course, basic sa PMS yan.

Again read the manual, pagpupunta sa casa for PMS empower yourself with knowledge.

Alamin ang to be done and replace para hindi ka dagdagan ng casa ng kung ano anong optionals.
