As per my knowledge, if its a normal day to day use car (not a racing,not a 4x4) then we can consider the service based on the millage done. for a petrol it would be 5000 KM, although the service stations mark the next due by 3000 KM.. i used to service my previous vehicle after 3000 KM done.. but then i think obviously 5000 can be done.
- it depends on your engine oil and other stuff you use too for a service.
BUT the thing is, me doing the service after 5000 KM's using Mobil,ect. and my dad doing his vehicles service by almost 10,000+ KM at the same time using Caltex,etc. i dont see much difference.. he says these are almost 6,7 years old and do not need expensive oils and maintenance
dats wot i know about this. hopefully the experts will shed some light
