In NSW, all vehicles over 5 years old need a pink slip safety inspection to complete annual registration. That means 5 years in total, not 5 years from the date you purchased the vehicle. If your light diesel or petrol vehicle is more than 5 years old, you need a rego e-safety check (pink slip) every year.

For most vehicles, oil changes should be done every 6 months or 6,000 km. The average light vehicle only needs an oil change twice per year. You’d need an oil change sooner if you drive under more extreme conditions. Heat and dust would be factors in extreme conditions.

Tyre rotation is done to counter uneven wear. Front tyres usually wear more quickly than back tyres. So rotating front and back tyres periodically will keep the tyres responsible for steering in the best shape. Rotation will help tyres wear evenly, thereby getting maximum lifespan from your tyres. Wheel alignment is needed any time a tyre is moved. This will help prevent the car pulling to one side or another and avoid vibration while driving.

Logbook servicing means servicing a vehicle according to the manufacturer’s specifications. The logbook recommends scheduled servicing and details when certain parts need to be checked, serviced, or replaced. Following the logbook to the letter keeps your new car warranty intact and your car can be expected to operate optimally.

Regular servicing involves routine maintenance, such as oil and fluid changes, spark plug replacement, filter changes, and the like. It’s based on industry standards, rather than the specific manufacturer’s recommendations.

Every vehicle, even new cars, can benefit from diagnostics and tuning. Tuning will help petrol and diesel vehicles operate at peak efficiency.
