MotorBabuService due calculator
When is your next oil change — or air filter, brake fluid, chain lube or coolant — due? Pick your vehicle and when it was last done.
Full service schedule for a petrol car
Suggested intervals — whichever comes first. The same ones the MotorBabu app uses for reminders.
| Item | Every |
|---|
These are general intervals for your type of vehicle and fuel. Your owner's manual — and your mechanic, if something sounds or feels wrong — come first. Dusty roads, heavy traffic and short trips wear things faster.
Never work this out again
In the MotorBabu app, tick what was done after each service and it tracks every item for you — by km and by date — and reminds you before each one is due. Add your vehicle by its number plate and you get insurance and PUC reminders too.
Questions people ask
How often should I change engine oil?
In this schedule: about every 10,000 km or 12 months for petrol and diesel cars (7,500 km for CNG), 5,000 km for motorcycles and 6,000 km for scooters — whichever comes first. Your owner's manual has the final word, and hard use (heavy traffic, dust, short trips) calls for earlier changes.
What does 'whichever comes first' mean?
Most parts age with both distance and time. If you drive a lot, you'll reach the kilometres first; if you drive little, the months run out first — oil and coolant age even when the vehicle stands.
Where do these intervals come from?
They're the same suggested intervals the MotorBabu app uses, set per vehicle type and fuel from published Indian schedules (Maruti, Hyundai, Tata, Honda, Royal Enfield, Ather and others), taking a sensible middle where makers differ. Your manual's schedule for your exact model comes first.
Do electric vehicles need servicing?
Yes, but less. No engine oil, spark plugs or air filter — but tyres, brakes, brake fluid, coolant (cars) and a yearly battery health check still matter.
How is the km-based due date estimated?
From how far you drive each day. Enter your daily kilometres, or the calculator uses a typical figure for your vehicle type (30 km a day for a car, 25 for a motorcycle, 20 for a scooter).
