What is Periodic Service?

The wisdom that says “prevention is better than cure” is not just a saying that applies to humans only, but also to the car. Periodic service is one of the very important things to preserve the car, keep all its parts safe from sudden breakdowns, and ensure the safety of its user while driving. But what is meant by maintenance? Rotating the car? What is the basic function of Periodic Service? What is the importance of periodic car inspection? What is the expected lifespan of car parts?

Musa Cars Car Rental answers all these questions.

• What is meant by Periodic Service?

Periodic Service of the car is a set of preventive measures that the car needs periodically, to inspect all the external and internal parts of the car, and aims to prevent sudden malfunctions in the future, which leads to ensuring the safety of the car and its driver. The car is a machine that is affected by period and misuse, and were it not for the periodic maintenance process; Because its performance is negatively affected, and its life span is reduced.

• What is the basic functionality of Periodic Service? Or what is the benefit of it?

Periodic Service is checking all the basic parts that can only perform their function, which extends its lifespan, protects it from premature wear and damage, and avoids replacing your car’s original parts with others that may not be original.

• What are the necessary checks and maintenance related to the vehicle’s mileage?


1- The necessary inspection after traveling a distance of 10,000 kilometers:


o Change the engine oil, new oil means a new filter, and the oil filter must be changed at a maximum of 20,000 kilometers.

o Check the car's brakes and tires.

o Check the battery and connecting wires, and ensure they are free of calcifications.


2- The necessary inspection after traveling a distance of 30,000 kilometers:


o Check the car's cooling device, the fluid level inside it, and empty it of air if necessary.

o Examine the distribution chain and its parts, and ensure that there is no friction or contact between them.

o Check the condition of the exhaust, and ensure that it is free of traces of rust or pitting.

o Check the gear oil (gearbox or gearbox) and ensure its validity.

o Check all car hoses and ensure there are no leaks.

• What is the expected lifespan of car parts?

The expected lifespan of the car parts remains an estimate, as the expected lifespan of the parts varies depending on the extent of commitment to periodic service, and the method of use, and the expected lifespan is not measured by time, as much as it is measured by the kilometers used.
