🛢️ 1. Check Your Oil Regularly
Your engine depends on clean oil to run smoothly.
📆 Check monthly

Regular tyre rotation = longer tyre life and safer handling.
🔄 Every 6,000–8,000 miles
🛞 Prevents uneven wear
📏 Improves performance and fuel economy
🧼 3. Keep Your Car Clean
Clean car = healthy car (and higher resale value).
🚿 Wash monthly to remove grime and salt
🧽 Vacuum interiors to prevent odours and wear
🛡️ Wax every few months to protect the paint
🌬️ 4. Replace Your Air Filters
Air filters protect your engine from dirt and debris.

🌫️ Check more frequently if you drive in dusty areas

🛑 5. Monitor Your Brakes
Don’t wait until you hear squealing.
🔊 Noises, vibrations, or reduced responsiveness = get them checked
📏 Replace brake pads as recommended
🛠️ Keep your braking system in top shape
🔋 6. Keep Your Battery Charged
A dead battery = a stranded car.
📆 Test it every 6 months
🌡️ Cold weather reduces battery life
🔄 Replace every 3–5 years

Coolant keeps your engine at the right temperature.
💧 Check levels regularly
