How Often Should You Service Your Car in the UAE?
In the UAE, most cars should be serviced every 5,000 to 10,000 km or every six months, whichever comes first. The heat, dust and stop-start traffic are harder on oil, filters and AC than cooler climates, so stick to the shorter end of the range for reliability.
Why more often here
- Extreme heat degrades oil faster
- Dust clogs air and cabin filters
- Traffic means more engine hours per km
