SERVICING Some information on Servicing Can I skip a service? The short answer is no. Because of consumer demand for less frequent servicing, car manufacturers have really stretched their servicing intervals to the limit. The result is cars that really, desperately need - at the very least - a change of oil when the schedule suggests it. On cars with a 25,000km service interval, skipping a single oil change will mean that the oil in the engine is 50,0000km old (and completely worn out) by the time you get around to changing it. As well as drastically reducing engine life and efficiency, there are other problems. Should a car still under the manufacturer's warranty suffer a fault that's linked to skipped services, the manufacturer can potentially walk away from any warranty claims. Paying for a new engine for a three-year-old car out of your own pocket is definitely going to hurt and will make the skipped services look like the most ridiculous form of false economy ever invented. And it happens. Is more frequent better? Servicing a car more frequently than the schedule demands certainly won't do the car any harm, but it could easily amount to tearing up money. Plenty of old school mechanics reckon that some modern service intervals of 25,000km or more are too long and will suggest halving that for a simple oil and filter change. Like we said, it won't hurt. However, if your car comes back from a service with a little sticker on the top corner of the windscreen suggesting an earlier date or mileage than that suggested by the handbook, we'd be taking it up with the service centre. At Pit Lane, we let you know why something is required and how much it will cost BEFORE we do it.
