What maintenance does a private car need at six years?
1 Answers
Private cars at six years require the following maintenance: inspect the timing belt, check all vehicle fluids, transmission fluid, brake fluid, spark plugs, and assess whether tires need replacement. Finally, check for engine carbon buildup to determine if throttle body and fuel injector cleaning is needed. Below is an expanded explanation: All vehicle fluids require inspection: fully synthetic engine oil should be changed every 10,000 km, semi-synthetic every 7,500 km, and mineral oil every 5,000 km. Additionally, as the vehicle ages, cold starts cause some engine wear and reduced cylinder sealing. It may be appropriate to select a slightly higher viscosity engine oil.
