More about Factory Scheduled Services
Simply stated, factory-scheduled maintenance is the basic care every automobile needs to run well for a long time. Generally, these planned services coincide with major mileage marks. Many are set for 30,000, 60,000, and 90,000 miles. However, some services are set to occur at other times, particularly if the automobile is driven under extreme conditions or for extended distances regularly. The factory schedule is generalized for normal use. Also, some lesser service points are typically needed between the longer checklist visits. One of the most important services for your auto is regular oil changes. Motor oil lubricates moving parts to reduce friction, absorbs heat, and suspends dirt that would otherwise scar interior engine surfaces. As oil ages, it breaks down, losing some of its protective value. This degradation puts your engine at risk. Another critical point is fluid service. Fluids such as coolant, brake, power steering, transmission, and engine oil should be monitored, topped off as necessary, and changed or flushed as recommended. Your tires should be examined regularly, too, to ensure proper PSI inflation and check for tread wear. Tires also need periodic services like rotation and balancing. Furthermore, your car has several filters that should be replaced occasionally, including oil, air, and fuel filters. Additionally, the conditions of spark plugs, belts, hoses, brake pads, and other braking components should be watched so that they can be replaced when needed. Finally, timing mechanisms, which may be either a belt or chain, should eventually be replaced or repaired, especially if they appear loose or damaged. While some drivers tend to think less about maintenance as their car ages, preventive services become increasingly important for older vehicles to ensure you get the most out of your transportation investment.
