Do Cars Need Maintenance Every Month?
2 Answers
Car maintenance is not required every month; it depends on the condition of the vehicle. Below is relevant information about car maintenance: Maintenance Schedule: The first maintenance should be done within 5,000 kilometers or three months, followed by maintenance every 5,000 kilometers or six months thereafter. Maintenance Items: Engine oil, oil filter, transmission fluid, spark plugs, cabin air filter, engine air filter, fuel filter, brake fluid. Purpose of Maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as car servicing.
Having driven for decades, I know well that maintenance isn't a monthly chore. Car manuals typically recommend service every 6 months or 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers, depending on the specific model and usage conditions. For city driving like mine, a check-up every six months suffices—just inspect the engine oil, filters, and tires. Over-maintenance just burns money unnecessarily; modern car materials are advanced and durable. Develop good habits: check coolant levels and tire pressure monthly yourself to save money and stay worry-free. Prevention is key—waiting until dashboard warning lights appear before acting isn't too late. Don't be misled by myths; cars aren't that fragile.
