Preventative maintenance of your car avoids unnecessary future expenses, thus increasing the longevity of your car. Below are some items to keep an eye on:
Oil change: Regular oil and filter changes are crucial to keeping your engine in good condition. It is generally recommended to change your engine oil every 5,000 to 10,000 km, depending on the car model and type of oil.
Checking your tires: Tires should be checked regularly to ensure they are in good condition and have the correct pressure. Depending on your region, you may need to replace your snow tires during the winter.
Brake system: Brakes are essential for safety and should be checked regularly. This includes checking the brake pads, discs and brake fluid.
