Flash’s Guide to Recommended Service Intervals

Regularly maintaining your vehicle is paramount to extend its life and safety. When done correctly, maintenance can help you save money on repairs and ensure that your car or truck runs as smoothly as possible. In this blog post, we will discuss the importance of recommended service intervals and why they should be adhered to in order to keep your vehicle running in tip-top shape. Let’s dive in!

Oil Change and filter

Changing the motor oil for your car or truck should occur at regular intervals (typically every 5,000 – 7,500 miles). Doing so helps improve engine performance by reducing wear and tear caused by friction between moving parts. It also helps keep the engine clean by removing dirt, dust, and other contaminants from the interior of the engine. Additionally, regularly changing the motor oil helps prevent corrosion and rusting of metal components within the engine block.

Fuel System Cleaning

Regular fuel system cleaning is necessary for improved gas mileage as well as improved performance across a range of driving conditions. During a fuel system cleaning service, technicians use specialized equipment to remove both internal and external contaminants from various components such as injectors, carburetors, filters, lines etc. This process helps improve overall engine performance by improving air/fuel delivery efficiency while preventing clogs due to excessive buildup of deposits inside these components.

Brake Pad Replacement and Power Brake Fluid Drain/Replacement

Your brakes are one of the most important safety features of your car or truck; therefore it’s essential that they be inspected regularly for optimal performance. Brake pads should be replaced when they become worn down past a certain point (usually indicated by squealing noises). Additionally, power brake fluid should be drained and replaced at regular intervals (usually every two years) in order to ensure optimal braking performance. Regular brake inspections can help identify potential problems before they cause costly repairs down the line.

Scheduled Inspections at regular Intervals can help to ensure that your car or truck is running optimally. Over time it’s important to have scheduled inspections performed at major intervals such as 30/60/90K miles. During these inspections technicians can check various systems such as brakes, suspension, exhaust etc. for any signs of wear-and-tear or mechanical issues which can then be addressed early on hence reducing repair costs in the long run while ensuring safe operation of the vehicle over time.

Following your recommended service intervals is essential for maintaining the safe operation of your car or truck while avoiding costly repairs down the line. Regular maintenance involves frequently changing motor oil and cleaning the fuel system for improved gas mileage as well as regularly inspecting brake pads and brake fluid levels for safety purposes along with scheduled major interval inspections which should be performed at least once every 30K miles. Following these guidelines will help keep your vehicle running optimally over time while keeping you safe on the road!
