Basic maintenance schedule

• Every vehicle has its own set of individual
  characteristics. To keep these in tip-top
  condition, your vehicle will have a list of good
  maintenance best practices, developed by the
  manufacturer and described in your Owners Manual
  (OM).

What else your vehicle need?

• The maintenance services listed above are only
  the general services that apply to the majority
  of vehicles. It is possible that your vehicle may
  need more frequent checks and replacements than
  has been stated. This is because, just like their
  owners, vehicles have their own special
  requirements needed to keep them happy.
  Manufacturers will sometimes recommend unique
  maintenance measures, such as periodic flushing
  and refilling of the brake hydraulic system. The
  best way to find out is to have a good read
  through your owner's manual or drop into a Mr.
  Lube for our expert opinion.

Extend the Life of Your Vehicle

• Its a simple fact. The nicer you are to your
  car, the nicer it will be to you. Sure it wont
  last forever, but a little TLC can make a big
  difference. Here are a few car care tips to keep
  in mind

9

• Get in the habit of regular engine oil and filter
  replacements  They are the biggest factor when
  it comes to your vehicles life.
• Replace your timing belt in accordance with your
  vehicle manufacturer's recommendations  This is
  generally about every 100,000 km. When in doubt,
  check your owner's manual.

10

• Properly align and balance your tires  Having
  your wheels properly aligned and balanced makes
  tires last longer. It is a good idea to rotate
  tires every 10,000 km to preserve them. If you
  frequently drive at high speeds or negotiate
  tight turns in parking areas, this should be done
  even sooner.

11

• Schedule preventive maintenance  Remember that
  preventive maintenance should be a part of your
  yearly scheduled car maintenance. Vehicles, like
  people, need to refresh sometimes.

12

• Take your car onto the highway at least once a
  month  If you regularly drive in stop-and-go
  traffic, you should take your car on routes where
  you can legally drive (yes, legally) at highway
  speed for at least 20 minutes, at least once a
  month. This will heat up the engine and burn off
  condensation that can attack both the oil and the
  internal parts of the engine.

13

• Wash and wax your car regularly  Keeping your
  vehicle looking good shouldnt be underestimated
  when it comes to your car maintenance checklist.
  It helps prevent damaging rust from occurring by
  repairing paint chips and dents as soon as they
  appear. Keeping your vehicle washed and waxed
  regularly and having undercoating applied based
  on driving conditions will also help keep your
  vehicle looking great.
