This guide aims to show whether you have managed to maintain the original performance of the vehicle in question after carrying out the service. The first service was performed at 19,256 miles, the second at 37,074 miles, and the third at 47,456 miles.

Over time, the vehicle has lost acceleration, its overall noise has increased, and fuel consumption has risen. A diagnosis is performed to check for any faults in memory, which shows no anomalies.

A range of products is used for the service: one for cleaning the piston rings, engine oil, an automatic transmission cleaning product, automatic transmission oil, an additive for the transmission and engine oil, a cleaner for throttle bodies and petrol injectors, a pollen filter, an automatic transmission oil filter with the corresponding oil sump gasket, an engine oil filter, and an air filter.

Once the necessary maintenance is done, a power bench test is performed again to detect any improvements achieved with the new maintenance.
