Maintenance Tips & Maintenance Schedule

Maintenance may seem somewhat expensive, but vehicle breakdowns and repairs can be even more costly. A well-maintained vehicle is more dependable and will last longer.

  • Check and maintain the proper air pressure in tires and inspect for normal wear
  • Check brake fluid and power steering fluid levels
  • Check all running lamps, break lights, back-up lights and turn signals

Every 3 Months (or 6,000kms)

  • Change the engine oil and filter
  • Check and maintain all fluid levels as necessary
  • Lubricate suspension and steering linkage
  • Inspect and replace all filters as required
  • Inspect CV boots for damage or wear
  • Inspect oil belts and hoses

When Stopping for Fuel

  • Check engine oil and fluid levels
  • Check coolant levels and coolant reservoir
  • Visually check for under-inflated tires
  • Check the windshield washer fluid levels
  • Check for any fluids leaking from under the vehicle
