As vehicle technology continues to evolve, so does the maintenance required to keep everything running properly. Take oil changes, for example. The price for the service has gone up over the years, but it is likely that you only need your oil changed every 10,000 miles rather than every 3,000 miles. Another traditional maintenance item is drive belts. If you’ve bought a new car in the past few years you may have noticed that some manufacturers are moving away from the use of belts which eliminates the need to replace them. So, sometimes maintenance updates save owners money and other times they can be more costly.
