MANTENIMIENTO PREVENTIVO
According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect. The following simple and inexpensive preventive checks will greatly extend the life of the vehicle, ensure safer operation and even benefit the environment.
If you are unsure of your vehicle's maintenance needs, consult your master technician for individual service schedules for your vehicle since maintenance requirements vary by manufacturer and vehicle.
- Have the oil and oil filter changed regularly - every 3,000 miles for conventional oil and every 5,000 miles for synthetic oil.
Have all fluids checked, including brake power steering, transmission/transaxle, windshield washer fluid and coolant/antifreeze. These fluids play a large role in the safety and performance of the vehicle. Check windshield wiper blades for cracks, tears and windshield contact. Replace them at least once a year, or sooner if streaking begins.
Inspect engine belts regularly. Worn belts will affect the engine performance. Look for cracks and missing sections or segments and replace belts before they fall off and damage other mechanical components on your vehicle.
