One of the simplest yet most important\nsteps is to carry out routine oil changes according to the recommended\ntimes and using the correct specifications. Nugroho Setyo Utomo, VP\nMarketing of PT Pertamina Lubricants, said lubricants may seem like a\nsmall component in vehicle maintenance costs, but their role is very\nimportant for engine performance. He stated that using lubricants that\ndo not match specifications can cause damage to engine components and\nresult in higher repair costs. \u201cWrong use can be fatal to components and\nof course maintenance and repair costs become expensive. But if we\nregularly change the oil at the right time and with the right\nspecifications, it will make our vehicle safe,\u201d he said. \u201cThere is a\nrisk of clutch wear; if the clutch wears out and the bike suddenly stops\nin the middle of the road. We worry there is potential for an accident\non the road.\u201d In addition to being dangerous for riders, accidents can\nalso have a large impact on family finances. Therefore, the public is\nurged to prepare their vehicles properly before undertaking the mudik\njourney. \u201cWe have a message for you to prepare your vehicle well, visit\nour workshops for mudik preparation.
