SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
Here is car maintenance guideline.
“Helpful information we collected for your convenience.”
ENGINE OIL
Oil lubricates, cleans, and cools.
Importance : Oil removes harmful contaminants while lubricating moving parts.
WHY CHANGE ?
If not changed regularly oil becomes thick with carbon and sludge, which reduces is ability to lubricate critical engine parts.
OIL FILTER
This removes the carbon, sludge and metal particles in the engine oil.
WHY CHANGE ?
If the filter is clogged oil cannot flow though the filter. When clogged, the relief valve opens and sends the dirty oil into the engine.
SPARK PLUGS
It povides a spark to ignite the air/fuel mixture and the resulting combustion results in engine power.
WHY CHANGE ?
The fuel economy is reduced and the engine loses power.
DRIVE BELTS
They drive the water pump, alternator, power steering and air conditioning.
WHY CHANGE ?
We recommends an inspection every 10.000 Km. if not checked frequently and failure occurs, vital components will fail.
AIR FILTER
Removes dust, sand, etc. from the air to ensure that only clean air enters the engine
WHY CHANGE ?
When the air filter is clogged, power outputs falls and fuel economy is reduced as not enough air flows into the engine.
FUEL FILTER
It removes small impurities contained in the fuel.
WHY CHANGE ?
When the filter is clogged, fuel flow decreases. This results in poor engine performance.
BRAKES
Brakes decelerate or stop a vehicle from moving.
Importance : If the brake system is not maintained the vehicle will be very unsafe to drive as it will not stop when brakes are applied.
WHY CHANGE ?
The brake system should be inspected routinely to identify any deterioration of brake hoses, fluid, rotors, drums and the wear of brake pads and shoes.
TYRES
Tyres play such a vital role, there are some very important and specific legal requirements relating to their condition and maintenance
WHY CHANGE ?
Ensure that your tyres wear evenly by having your tyres rotated every 10,000 to 12,000km, or every six months.
