I don’t drive a lot of miles/km’s per year. Lots of short local trips as I work close to home and rarely venture out of my small town.
So I wanted to start a thread talking about which maintenance items should be done regardless of mileage, and are more prone to degradation over time even if you aren’t driving much.
So far the items I have identified according to the manual are:
Change your oil at least once per year even if you haven’t driven enough to set off the maintenance minder. (I can attest to the fact that the MM will automatically tell you to go for an oil change if it’s been a year, my oil life was 40% but it still told me to go in at the one year mark).
Change your brake fluid every 3 years even if your mileage doesn’t set off the MM. (again I can testify that the MM told me to do this after 3 years even though I was below the recommended mileage).
Does anyone have additional items to add? I’m not sure about the air filter, the cabin filter or the CVT fluid among other things.
