Astra j card service. Do-it-yourself routine maintenance of Opel Astra J
Periodic maintenance(TO) car Opel Astra J This is a necessary procedure that is provided by the vehicle manufacturer. The maintenance period coincides with the oil change period, usually 10-15 thousand km. We recommend changing the oil and carrying out maintenance at least 10 thousand kilometers. What is the reason for these numbers? Yes, it's very simple. Usually the manufacturer is disingenuous when indicating 15-20 thousand kilometers as the oil change interval. These intervals are calculated for so-called “normal operating conditions”. What are normal conditions? This is gasoline or diesel fuel of appropriate quality for our engine, this is oil of appropriate quality and temperature in the average range, somewhere around -5 +20, as well as soils such as road surfaces should be excluded... From this it follows that the operation of a car in the vastness of our country is in no way possible fits into “normal conditions” and rather corresponds to severe operating conditions, for which not all manufacturers have prescribed maintenance intervals. Therefore, we took the mileage of 10 thousand kilometers as an average, suitable for most modern cars, including Opel Astra J .
Periodic maintenance consists of general procedures which are performed at every maintenance and additional work, which are carried out at certain mileages or periods of operation of the car. Here we offer standard set common procedures and their cost for Opel Astra J. Also the cost of spare parts and consumables when carrying out work in our technical center.

The slightest breakdown of one part, if not corrected in time, can lead to a malfunction of other elements and even the entire system. As a result, the car owner has higher time and financial costs to restore the car.

The frequency of Opel Astra maintenance is determined by the manufacturer’s regulations. It reflects the mandatory timing of inspection and replacement of spare parts for each system. However, they are designed taking into account the normal operation of the car.

Thus, the quality of Russian roads and gasoline seriously reduces service intervals. Many parts wear out much faster, so Opel Astra service carried out prematurely.
