Maintenance Tips/Suggestions

Regular maintenance of your vehicle’s lubrication system is vital for its longevity and performance. The frequency of lube, oil, and filter changes depends on various factors such as driving conditions, mileage, and the type of oil used.

For vehicles driven under normal conditions, it is generally recommended to change the oil and filter every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or every three to six months. However, if you frequently drive in severe conditions such as extreme temperatures, dusty environments, or frequent short trips, it is advisable to change the oil and filter more frequently, around every 2,000 to 3,000 miles.

Using the recommended weight and type of oil is crucial for optimum engine performance and protection. Different vehicles have different requirements, so consult your owner’s manual or a professional technician for the correct specifications. Using the wrong oil can lead to engine damage, poor fuel efficiency, and increased wear.

Regular lubrication and filter changes are equally important. Lubrication ensures smooth movement of engine components, preventing wear and tear. It is important to lubricate key areas such as hinges, joints, and suspension components as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer. Similarly, filters trap contaminants and need to be replaced regularly to maintain engine cleanliness and proper functioning.

By adhering to the recommended oil change frequencies, using the right oil weight and type, and incorporating regular lubrication and filter changes, you can ensure that your vehicle performs at its best and stays reliable for years to come.
