SUVs or sports utility vehicles have some of the features of a regular car and also off-road vehicles, which makes them comfortable to use on normal roads as well as rough terrain. In terms of service and maintenance requirements, SUVs don’t differ much from other cars. 

Here’s a minor service checklist for SUVs:

• Oil and Oil Filter:  Engine oil lubricates the moving parts of the engine and prevents friction, thereby enhancing the engine efficiency. Engine oil and filter have to be changed periodically as per manufacturer recommendations.
• Other Fluid Checks: Aside from engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and transmission fluid are inspected and filled up or replenished as needed.  Coolant serves to keep the engine temperature stable and prevent overheating. 
• Brake Pads, Clutch: Brake pads and clutch are inspected as part of minor service to examine wear and tear.
• Tyre Inspection: Tires are inspected for uneven wear, tread depth, and damages. Tire rotation is undertaken to prevent uneven wear. A tread depth of 3 mm is considered ideal for tires. Tyre pressure is checked.
• AC Filter Cleaning: AC refrigerant levels are examined because low levels may impact vehicle cooling. Hoses and pipes are checked for leakage, and the AC filter is cleaned. Engine and cabin air filters may have to be replaced to ensure air quality and engine performance. 
• Battery: It powers the electrical system, and hence it has to be inspected for corrosion of terminals, voltage, and cable connections. All light and electrical systems are checked to ensure proper functioning. 
• Wiper Blades Washer Fluid: Wiper blades have to function efficiently to clear the windshield of rainwater and moisture. Wiper blades are inspected for damage and wiper fluids topped up to ensure wiping of dust happens smoothly, improving the visibility of the road.
• Steering and Suspension: Steering plays a major role in ensuring control of the vehicle, while suspension helps navigate the bumps and potholes on the road comfortably. Suspension has a major role to play in distributing weight evenly across the four wheels, preventing a bumpy ride. 
• Exterior Wash and Interior Cleaning:  The car has to be washed thoroughly to remove dirt, moisture, and oil on the exterior surface, and interior vacuuming is done to remove odor, food debris, and dust, which improves the overall ambience inside the cabin.
