- W855383552 abstract "The 1980 model year cars are characterized by easier and less frequent maintenance requirements, with Ford's subcompact Lynx and Escort requiring an oil change only after each 10,000 mi. and one hr. of scheduled maintenance a year for the first 50,000 mi. Chrysler and General Motors still recommend 7500-mi. oil change intervals, but both are following the reduced-maintenance trend. At increased maintenance intervals, lubrication specialists warn against risk of engine damage under such conditions as short-distance city driving in cold weather. Some manufacturers specify conditions which require shortened servicing intervals. With the new electronic engine controls, maintenance is simplified. Extra efforts are being made to train and update mechanics so that an engine can be tuned easily. With onboard computers in most new cars, a mechanic can make an accurate diagnosis via a simple readout device attached to a few engine points. Beginning with 1981 models, manufacturers must give a five-yr., 50,000-mi. guarantee on emission control system Other innovations contributing to easier maintenance include more corrosion resistant body panels, permanently lubricated ball joints/wheel bearings, permanently adjusted clutches/hydraulic valves, 40,000-mi. radial tires, and more easily serviced brakes. Automakers are striving to make front-wheel drive cars easier to repair, as reflected in lower insurance premiums. The standard one-yr. warranty is unchanged, although extended service contracts are optional (but not necessary if a car is well maintained). Longer servicing intervals make regular maintenance by car owners imperative. Rustproofing and paint sealing options on new cars and tips on finding a reliable auto mechanic are covered in separate notes." @default.
