An oil change is the process of draining out the old engine oil and replacing it with fresh clean oil. The oil filter is changed at the same time. Particles of metal and debris from engine parts gradually darken and thicken the oil which lilmits its effectiveness. Left unattended, it would eventually lead to complete engine failure. Check your vehicle's owners manual for it's recommended frequency of oil changes.

Why is it necessary?

Prevent overheating

Reduce wear and tear

Improve efficiency and performance

The Transmission of your vehicle is a set of gears that transmit the power from the engine to the drive wheels that move the vehicle. The gears are moving and therefore require regular maintenance and may even need to be replaced. If properly maintained, a transmission can last up to 400,000 km. Maintenance frequency depends on several factors, including age of transmission, the vehicle, driving habits and location. Vehicles hauling heavy loads or towing regularly will require maintenance more often. Your owner's manual will help you decide how often.

There are different types of transmissions and therefore different needs for timing and service.

Automatic Transmission - routine maintenance includes fluid and filter change as well as a visual inspection.

Manual Transmission - routine maintenance includes fluid and filter change, clean or replace transmission pan, and visual inspection for damage and wear.

Why do the maintenance?

Fuel efficiency

Prevents costly repairs

Extends transmission lifespan
