Evo X Maintenance Schedule
Your Evo X is like your girlfriend/boyfriend. You take care of her/him, and she/he takes care of you. The relationship between a person and an Evo X is stronger than some may think. I know that it may sound alittle off-putting, but it’s a two-way street metaphorically =P. Yep, we’re talking about adhering with the car maintenance schedule, which involves checking (and potentially replacing) the guts of your ride. It may or may not be time-consuming, depending on your familiarity and experience in checking fluids, doing oil changes, and the like. No biggie if you lack familiarity or experience. You can just take your sweetness to an auto shop when it’s time for your Evo X to visit the doctor., and we can let you know when it’s time to check on and/or replace something =).
NOTE: Severe driving conditions can include driving on all kinds of abnormal ground (rough/sandy/muddy/salty surfaces), using brakes excessively, operating the car more than 50% in heavy traffic in 90 degree weather, driving at a low speed constantly, and having the car be idle excessively.
