Assuming you would like a blog post discussing how frequently one should service their car:
“How frequently should I service my car?”
This is a great question and one that every car owner should ask themselves. There are a few things that you need to take into consideration when trying to determine how often to service your car. The first is the type of car that you own. Obviously different cars will have different service intervals. The second thing to take into consideration is how you use your car. If you only use your car to commute to and from work you will most likely not need to service it as often as someone who uses their car for long road trips or participates in track days.
The third thing to consider is the environment that you live in. If you live in an area with a lot of dust and dirt you will need to service your car more often to prevent build-up and maintain optimal performance.
Assuming that you have taken all of these factors into consideration you can use the following guidelines to help you determine how often to service your car:
-If you own a gas car you should service your car every 3000 miles or every 3 months whichever comes first.
-If you own a diesel car you should service your car every 5000 miles or every 6 months whichever comes first.
-If you live in an area with a lot of dust and dirt you should service your car every 2500 miles or every 2 months whichever comes first.
Of course these are just general guidelines and you should always consult your car’s owner manual to get the specific service interval for your car. And if you’re ever in doubt it’s always better to err on the side of caution and take your car in for service more often rather than less often.
