- Change the oil. It may seem that you shouldn't have to change the oil on a new car until the typical length of time on any vehicle. However, due to having a new engine, particles of metal get worn off and your car's oil needs changing after about 20 miles of driving and then again in 1000 miles. After that, this decreases and you can return to normal oil changes.
- Protect your paint. Years ago, you would have wanted to wait to wash or wax your car to allow time for the paint to cure but that is no longer the case. The paint on your care is as hard as it is ever going to get once it leaves the factory due to catalyzed, modern clear-coat. Go ahead and take your new car to the car wash and have a coat of wax applied to protect it.
- Protect the interior. You don't have to add a lot of product to your new interior but an application of Scotchguard will protect your seats and carpets from debris clinging. Dirt, mildew and pollen is more easily removed and it will keep your interior looking good longer.
