I receive lots of requests to provide some very simple illustrated car maintenance checklist.
In this page I tried to describe some of the car maintenance tasks in a very simple, easy to understand manner.
However, I covered only few basic items and different cars have different requirements – for complete information on how to maintain your car refer to your owner’s manual or visit your local dealer.
Few basic car maintenance tips:

? Regular oil changes are very important to keep your engine in a good shape.
? Wash your car regularly, wax it once in a while to keep the car body shiny and free from corrosion.
? Take care of any minor concerns as soon as you can, so it won’t cause serious problems and an expensive repair later
? Use only original parts

Preventive maintenance is important to keep your car safe. With proper care your car will last longer and some of the possible problems can be avoided. Well-maintained car is not only safer, it’s also more economical and produces less pollutions. If the car is well-maintained, you can expect higher price when you decide to sell it.
