Oil Change
Most modern vehicles require an oil change every 8,000–12,000 km, though older vehicles or severe driving conditions may require every 5,000 km.
Transmission Change
Transmission fluid should typically be replaced every 60,000–100,000 km to protect against wear and ensure smooth shifting.
Coolant Flush
Most vehicles require a coolant flush every 50,000–80,000 km to prevent corrosion, overheating, and damage to your cooling system.
Brake Fluid
Brake fluid should be inspected annually and replaced every 2–3 years, as it absorbs moisture over time which reduces braking performance.
Power Steering Fluid
Power steering fluid should be flushed every 80,000 km or if you notice difficulty steering, whining noises, or discoloured fluid.
Differential Fluid
Differential fluid should be replaced every 50,000–80,000 km to protect the gears that transfer power to your wheels.
Transfer Case Fluid
The transfer case fluid keeps your 4WD or AWD system running smoothly and should be replaced every 50,000 km or as recommended by your manufacturer.
Windshield Washer Fluid
Always use a rated winter formula that won't freeze in your reservoir or on your windshield, and top it up regularly, as it's one of the most frequently used fluids on your vehicle.
Battery Fluid
Conventional lead-acid batteries contain electrolyte fluid that should be inspected periodically and topped up with distilled water if low — neglecting it can shorten battery life and lead to a no-start situation.
Engine Air Filter
Your engine air filter should be replaced every 20,000–30,000 km to ensure proper airflow, maintain fuel efficiency, and prevent dirt and debris from entering your engine.
Cabin Air Filter
Your cabin air filter cleans the air coming through your vents and should be replaced every 20,000–25,000 km to maintain air quality and prevent strain on your heating and cooling system.
Fuel Filter
Your fuel filter should be replaced every 40,000–80,000 km depending on your vehicle to keep contaminants out of your fuel injectors and maintain proper engine performance.
