When operating a car in a very dusty area, a busy urban cycle (frequent short trips), and when towing a trailer frequently, routine maintenance intervals should be kept as short as possible.
Maintenance of a new vehicle, in order to avoid violating the factory warranty, should be carried out at a branded service station of the vehicle manufacturer (see table on next page).
Routine maintenance procedures that require more frequent use when the vehicle is operated in high stress mode
Stress refers to the following conditions:
- Operation in heavily dusty areas;
- Operation at elevated (over 32°С) or reduced (below 0°С) ambient temperature;
- Operation in a busy city cycle (frequent stops, prolonged engine idling);
- Operation in the mode of frequent short trips (the engine does not have time to warm up to normal operating temperature);
- Use of the car in a traffic patrol service, delivery service or as a towing vehicle or taxi.
For all of these cases, you should increase the frequency of performing certain procedures for regular maintenance of the vehicle and perform:
- Change of engine oil and oil filter - every 5000 km;
- Checking the condition / replacing disc brake pads - every 10,000 km;
- Checking the condition / cleaning / replacing the air filter - every 25,000 km;
- Replacement of ATF and AT filter - every 25,000 km;
- Checking the condition / maintenance / replacement of shoes and wheel cylinders of drum brakes of the rear wheels - every 25,000 km;
- Replacement of spark plugs (except for spark plugs with platinum electrodes installed on Diamante models) - every 25,000 km.
- Replacing transmission oil manual transmission / transfer case (Galant and Mirage) - every 50,000 km of run.
