Question 3842
To perform proper preventive maintenance on the vehicle, the most advisable option is:
- Follow the manufacturer's recommendations and pass the vehicle inspections.
- Replace only broken parts and leave worn parts until they break.
- Take the vehicle to the repair shop once a year, regardless of the kilometers driven.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations and pass the vehicle inspections.
Preventive maintenance means replacing parts before they fail. To do that, follow the manufacturer's schedule, which specifies when to change the oil, filters, or belts based on both kilometers driven and time, and have the vehicle inspections done when due. Waiting for a worn part to break is no longer prevention, and one visit a year without considering the kilometers driven is not enough if you drive a lot.
