Servicing falls into 2 types dependant on how the car is used and manufacturer recommendations. These are mileage based (e.g. complete an oil change every 12,000 miles) or time based (e.g. undertake a brake fluid change every 2 years).
An Interim service is the base level of service and should be undertaken regularly. It includes changing the oil and filter, as well as carry out a basic vehicle health check (check tyre pressures, screen wash etc.). Changing the oil in line with (or slightly before!) the manufacturers guidelines will prolong the life of your engine.
