| SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Engine oil and filter change
Engine
oil is the fluid that lubricates, cleans and cools the
internal moving parts of the engine. Oil breaks
down from normal wear, i.e. dirt, contaminates, moisture,
engine heat and loses its ability to lubricate and clean.
Therefore, engine oil should be replaced, as per the
manufacturer's maintenance recommendation, to help ensure
that the engine performs as designed.
An
engine oil filter is a vehicle component that is used
to remove impurities and undesired components from the
oil that flows through an internal-combustion engine.
The oil is necessary to lubricate the engine.
Replacing
the engine oil filter, as per the manufacturer's maintenance
recommendation, can help to properly maintain the engine’s
lubrication system.
Replace
brake fluid
Brake
fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid used in hydraulic brake applications
in automobiles and light trucks. The fluid is used to transmit
pressure from the brake pedal to the pistons at eacyh wheel,
producing braking action. Brake fluid is very hydroscopic.
It is like a sponge for absorbing water and moisture. Over time,
brake fluid becomes contaminated. The water/moisture it absorbs
will rust out the inside of brake lines and other brake parts.
Brake fluid should be flushed/replaced on a regular basis, as
per the manufacturer's maintenance recommendation, to help keep
the brake system is good working condition.
