Re: New Autos, break in periods, etc.
Preventive Maintenance not only prevents catastrophic failure down the road but also provides a paper trail of service that can be used for legal matters as well.
Working for the Gas Company whether it needed it or not our 3" Master Meter Transfer Prover that is used to calibrate the bigger propane tankers you see rolling around Oahu went in for annual recertification which included all maintenance procedures.
Not only did we do it for accuracy but also in the event this device failed to perform as required or if the prover had a mechanical failure while transferring LPG at a rate of over 200 GPM in the public sector.
This prover was used only three times in a year but because of the nature of what it was made to do, there was no room for error or failure. It had to be maintained.
As for a car, yes it's not as critical as a 10,000 gallon tanker or the calibration gear that monitors it's performance, however if you are driving your car and your tranny causes you to lose control of your vehicle and you get into an accident that results in a fatality to another motorist or your passenger, failure to maintain your automobile can be used against you in a court of law to determine criminal negligence.
Proper maintenance records can redirect blame to the shop that serviced and signed off on any work done to your car to prove the accident was caused by mechanical failure brought on by shoddy maintenance work by that garage that finished and verified the work done that caused the accident.
Better to be safe than sorry.
