These responsibilities primarily revolve around performing routine maintenance on vehicles, with a specific focus on lubrication and fluid services. Examples include changing engine oil and filters, lubricating chassis components, inspecting and topping off fluid levels (such as coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and transmission fluid), and checking tire pressure. Successful completion of these tasks ensures optimal vehicle performance and longevity.
Proper execution of these tasks is vital for preventing premature wear and tear on vehicle components, extending the lifespan of the vehicle, and ensuring safe operation. Historically, consistent maintenance has been recognized as a key factor in reducing vehicle breakdowns and minimizing costly repairs. Furthermore, adherence to manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedules helps preserve vehicle warranties.
