Should I Service My Car When the Time Interval Is Due but the Mileage Hasn't Been Reached?
1 Answers
Vehicle maintenance is required when either the time interval or mileage limit is reached, whichever comes first. The maintenance cycle is determined by two criteria: time and mileage. Vehicle maintenance tasks include: 1. Changing engine oil, oil filter, cabin air filter, and engine air filter; 2. Checking fluid levels of coolant, battery electrolyte, and windshield washer fluid; 3. Inspecting brake and clutch fluid levels, as well as power steering fluid reservoir level; 4. Checking for oil leaks at all system pipe connections; 5. Examining front and rear lights; 6. Monitoring tire pressure and wear, and tightening screws to specified torque. Vehicle maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain components of a vehicle, also known as automotive servicing.
