SELF SERVICE
We all know that any car needs regular servicing to keep it in tip-top shape, that’s why most cars have a 10-12K mile, or yearly interval where you need to take it in to a garage to get your book stamped. The truth is though, you can never really service a car too often, and that goes double if it’s hard driven, you cover far more than the average miles in a year, or if you are partial to the odd track day.
What we’re doing this time is a simple home oil service. We’re not suggesting that you never take your car to the professionals of course. Many will check the whole thing over and advise on other work that needs doing. But, when you know that all is well (if you’ve just had an MoT for example), it’s never a bad idea to treat your ride to some fresh new oil and a filter. And while you’re there, you might as well change those air and pollen filters too – the bonnet’s up already, right?
So, here’s how you can save a few quid by doing it yourself…
