Introduction
This chapter has been written to help the hobby mechanic keep his vehicle at peak performance, economy, safety and reliability. Further in the Chapter you will find a complete schedule of procedures for the current maintenance of the car, as well as Sections devoted to the description of the maintenance of its individual systems. Sections include descriptions of visual inspections, adjustments, component replacements, and other helpful tips. The location of the individual components will help to determine the illustrations with views of the engine compartment and the bottom of the car. By servicing your vehicle in accordance with the mileage schedule and following the detailed instructions below, you will have a clear maintenance program that can ensure the long and reliable life of your vehicle. Remember that this plan is exhaustive, and the implementation of some of its points and the neglect of others will not give the expected result.
