Why regular servicing is important

Regular service intervals

You can potentially extend the life of your vehicle. Avoid unnecessary mechanical expenses down the track. Ensure your vehicle is safe to drive. Maintain a higher value for when it comes time to sell as well as extending the life of your expensive asset.

When does you car require servicing? This will be detailed in the vehicle’s logbook or owner’s manual. But as a general rule  most cars should be professionally serviced every six months or 10,000km  (whichever comes first).

Photographic evidence here, shows the result of not having oil changed at regular intervals. The engine clogs up with burnt, thick oil – almost like tar, resulting in very expensive repairs or engine replacement.

The First Line of Defence for your Diesel Engine

Carsguide Australia has posted that Australia is running some of the dirtiest, most emission-intensive fuels in the world. This causes major problems for the consumer. Car companies like Volkswagen say they can’t give us the best technology available because their most modern vehicles are not designed to run on our low-quality fuel.

Without regular maintenance, dirty fuels can cause very costly repairs but with Direction-Plus they ease the pain with their range of pre-filter kits and fuel additives.

Direction-Plus™ is one of Australia’s most trusted brands for supplying technically superior, best in class kits & accessories for diesel-fuelled passenger 4×4 vehicles. Direction-Plus™ Pre-Filter kits protects your diesel engine against water and particle contamination’.
