Car Care & Maintenance Tips
Keeping your vehicle well-maintained ensures long engine life, optimal fuel efficiency, maximum safety, and high resale value. Follow our essential vehicle maintenance recommendations below:
1. Engine Oil & Fluid Checks
Engine oil lubricates vital moving parts and prevents engine overheating under heavy loads.
- Check oil dipstick level every 1,000 km or before long highway trips.
- Change engine oil & filter every 10,000 km or 1 year.
- Inspect brake fluid, coolant, and windshield washer fluid regularly.
2. Tyre Pressure & Alignment
Properly inflated tyres maximize fuel economy, road safety, and tread life.
- Maintain recommended cold PSI pressure every 2 weeks.
- Perform wheel alignment & balancing every 5,000 to 10,000 km.
- Rotate tyres periodically for uniform tread wear.
3. Battery & Electrical Care
Ensure reliable engine starts by keeping your 12V automotive battery in top shape.
- Clean battery terminals with baking soda solution to remove corrosion.
- Ensure terminal clamps are tightly secured.
- Test battery voltage annually if battery is older than 3 years.
4. Air Conditioning & Cabin Filter
Clean AC systems provide fast cooling during hot summer months.
- Clean or replace the cabin AC air filter every 10,000 km.
- Run AC compressor for 5 minutes once a week even during winter.
- Refill AC refrigerant gas if cooling efficiency drops.
