A vehicle maintenance schedule is a set of guidelines that helps you take care of your car. This can be in the form of a checklist or an online guide.
There are many different types of maintenance schedules, and they all have their own set of rules and guidelines. The most popular ones are:

• Preventive Maintenance Schedule: These schedules focus on preventing expensive repairs from happening by focusing on small, inexpensive fixes.
• Scheduled Maintenance: These schedules are for people who want to keep their vehicles in perfect shape for as long as possible.
• Time Based Maintenance Schedule: These schedules focus on the amount of time that has passed since your last service based on the mileage or number of months/years your vehicle has been driven.
• Emergency Service: Emergency service is when you take your car in after something major has happened like a flat tire, engine failure, or a broken headlight. You should know that emergency services can be very expensive depending on what needs

The following is a general guideline on what a vehicle maintenance schedule should include:

• Check fluid levels and make sure they are at the appropriate level.
• Check the lights and make sure they are working properly.
• Replace the cabin air filter every 35,000 km or so.
• Check tire pressure and tread, then replace if needed.
• Replace engine air filter as needed according to manufacturer's instructions.

One of the most important things you can do for your vehicle is to change the oil. This will keep it running smoothly and efficiently. The type of vehicle you drive, where you live and how often you drive all influence what kind of maintenance schedule you should follow.
If you are driving a gas-powered vehicle, it is important to change the engine coolant about every 10 years or 160,000 km. If your vehicle has a diesel engine, the timing belt should be changed around every 60 months or 96,000 km. A timing belt on a gas-powered car should be changed around every 100 months or 160,000 km.
It's also important to rotate your tires at least once per year. The tires wear out faster when they are in a straight line instead of rotating them as they would wear out evenly.
