The Essential Maintenance Schedule
A simple, repeatable routine that keeps your vehicle reliable and protects its value over time.
Autosavvy101 Editorial
Following a maintenance schedule prevents small issues from becoming expensive failures.
The Core Routine
- Oil and filter changes at the recommended interval
- Tyre rotation for even wear
- Fluid level checks — coolant, brake, washer
- Brake pad and disc inspection
Major Service Intervals
Major service intervals can cover items such as belts, fluids and inspections. Follow the manufacturer's schedule by both time and distance, because some maintenance is due by age even when mileage is low.
A documented service history also protects your vehicle's value when it's time to sell.
Keep a simple log of every service. Future you — and future buyers — will thank you.
