General Maintainance

[drthrift035]

I have noticed that a pro active approach in dealing with your vehicle gets you the most in the long run. Many people neglect their vehicles, not because they don’t care.They just don’t have the money to pay for the service.

If you follow the service guidelines which outlines what, where, and when a part/ service should be done you get so much more out of the vehicle instead of waiting around for it to fail. More and more I realize that this trade is about following instructions as accurately as possible.

it will take care of you. 🙂

I firmly believe in keeping the fluids fresh. I follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and then some. Drain and fills on all the fluids and keep the fluids and filters fresh. Lots of people change the oil and wait until a problem comes around in order to fix it. I do as much preventative maintenance as possible.

I completely agree I may take it overboard but I change my oil every 6 months, oil, fuel and air filter every 12 months, and my plugs, brake and gear fluid every 24. maybe a bit excessive but keeps it running a beaut.
