Your car seems to run well, but it is past the service date in the owner's manual. What does the New Mexico Driver Manual advise?
Correct answer: Follow the maintenance schedule, since it greatly lowers the chance of a breakdown
Why
Brake failure, tire blowouts, engine failure and headlight failure are emergencies that can start with a part that was not serviced in time. A car that breaks down on the highway puts you and other drivers at risk. The owner's manual lists what to check on your car and when to do it.
