ya because it means you need to get your oil changed or something and that does affect performance slightly. speaking of which i need an oil change soon
yep, depending on how you drive depends on how quick the lights go out, if you drive like a wuss then your service intervals are further apart. if you drive like me then you will need a service around every 6k.....
changing oil, and plugs regular will help to keep the car running smooth. when the oil gets all shitty it can create more resistance on moving parts...... you dont notice it as the oil get dirty as it doesnt happen over night, but as soon as you change the oil and plugs you notice a differance straight away.....
the way the lights and service works is like so.....
when the car is new he first service it will have will just be an oil service (oil, filters and plugs)
then as when all the green light go out and the yellow one comes on (6k-10k) you will require an inspection one, oil, filters, plugs, certain other fluids, and an inspection of the majority of the car.
then you have another oil service again.
and then you have an inspection two, thats all the fluids ( engine, gearbox, axels, some times brakes, coolant ) the list is quite comprehensive.....
and then its back to the start again with an oil service, and then repeat the whole thing again....
if you already knew that then i'll shut up! :lol:
