📚 Why Your Owner’s Manual is Essential
One of the best resources for understanding your car’s maintenance needs is the owner’s manual. This guide includes:
✔️ Recommended service intervals for oil changes, brake checks, and more.
✔️ Details on fluid types (engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, etc.).
✔️ Belt & filter replacement schedules to prevent breakdowns.
💡 Pro Tip: If you don’t have a physical copy of your manual, most manufacturers provide digital versions online.
📝 Creating a Car Maintenance Plan
A customized maintenance checklist ensures you never miss a critical service. To get started:
✅ Choose a format – Google spreadsheet, phone reminders, or a physical checklist.
✅ Break down maintenance tasks into monthly, quarterly, and yearly categories.
✅ Note manufacturer recommendations to align with your car’s specific needs.
🔧 Example: A Peugeot used for city driving will have different servicing needs than one used for frequent long-distance trips.
🗓️ Monthly, Quarterly & Yearly Checks

⚙️ Factors That Affect Your Service Schedule
Your driving habits and environment impact how often you need maintenance:
🚦 City Driving: Frequent stop-and-go traffic requires more frequent oil changes & brake checks.
🏕️ Off-Roading: Rough terrain accelerates tyre wear & suspension issues.
🚗 High Mileage Driving: Long trips demand frequent fluid top-ups & belt inspections.
