What Does Routine Vehicle Maintenance and Care Include?

The oil grade must match the engine, for example, turbocharged engines require specialized oil. The oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers, and the air filter should be replaced every six months. By this time, the mileage will also be close to 30,000 kilometers, making it necessary to perform a tire rotation and clean the throttle body and fuel system, as well as check tire wear and ensure sufficient engine power. At around 60,000 kilometers, the vehicle will require a full fluid change. In addition to engine oil, this includes transmission fluid, brake fluid, and replacing the timing belt. The battery should be inspected before deciding whether to replace it, as usage habits can greatly affect its lifespan. However, many vehicles require a replacement after 3-4 years.
