OIL SERVICE OF CARS
[CODE NO.3118]

A motor vehicle service is a series of maintenance procedures carried out at a set time interval or after the vehicle has travelled a certain distance. The
service intervals are specified by the vehicle manufacturer in a service schedule and some modern cars display the due date for the next service
electronically on the instrument panel.

The completed services are usually recorded in a service book which is rubber stamped by the service centre upon completion of each service. A complete
service history usually adds to the resale value of a vehicle.

Maintenance tasks commonly carried out during a motor vehicle service include:

•    Change the engine oil
•    Replace the oil filter
•    Replace the air filter
•    Replace the fuel filter
•    Replace the cabin filter
•    Replace the spark plugs
•    Tune the engine
•    Check level and refill brake fluid/clutch fluid
•    Check Brake Pads/Liners, Brake Discs/Drums, and replace if worn out.
•    Check level and refill power steering fluid
•    Check level and refill Automatic/Manual Transmission Fluid
•    Grease and lubricate components
•    Inspect and replace the timing belt or timing chain if needed
•    Check condition of the tires
•    Check for proper operation of all lights, wipers etc.
•    Check for any Error codes in the ECU and take corrective action.
•    Wash the vehicle and clean the interiors.

In the old days, oil filters were all pretty much the same inside. But not anymore. If your owner’s manual recommends extended oil change intervals (every
6,000 miles instead of 3,000 miles), you must buy a filter that’s rated to go the distance. In other words, don’t fill your engine with expensive synthetic
oil and then spin on an economy filter—it won’t last. Check the filter box, ask the store clerk, or check the filter manufacturer’s Web site to make sure the
filter you buy is rated for extended oil change intervals.  

There’s a huge difference between an economy filter and a top-of-the-line version. But there’s only a small difference in price. If you use conventional
oil and diligently change it every 3,000 miles, you can get by with the economy filter. But if you regularly “forget” and go beyond that mileage or use
long-mileage synthetic blends or full synthetic, spend the extra bucks on a better filter. Look at these cutaway filters and you can see why the premium
filter is a better choice.
