GSA Fleet Vehicle Preventive Maintenance: Daily

Timely preventive maintenance is the key to driving a safe and reliable vehicle that will serve you better and fulfill your transportation needs.

Day-to-Day Care

As the vehicle operator, you are responsible for checking or inspecting the following before driving the vehicle:

Engine oil level. Check and add oil, if necessary.

Fluid leaks. Check ground for oil or other fluid spots.

Dashboard lights. If a dashboard light illuminates, check the owner’s manual or call the MCC for guidance. An oil life sensor or maintenance minder may indicate an oil change should be performed within 500 or 1,000 miles. However, ignoring indicators such as a check engine light, tire pressure monitoring sensor (TPMS) indicator, or diesel particulate filter (DPF) warning light can lead to a breakdown and/or expensive repairs. Contact the Maintenance Control Center (MCC) if you have any questions.

Tires. Check air pressure regularly. Tire pressure other than that stated on the sticker label provided by the vehicle manufacturer (located on the driver’s side door post or glove compartment or information found in your vehicle owner’s manual) will reduce tire life and affect vehicle handling and fuel economy. Check tires for excessive or uneven tread wear. Contact the MCC if excessive or uneven wear is discovered.

Exterior. Check vehicle for body damage incurred while parked and unattended. Report any damage promptly to the Accident Management Center (AMC) at (866) 400-0411, option 2.

Other. Familiarize yourself with the vehicle’s owner’s manual and perform any operator checks or inspections listed therein. Inform your GSA Fleet Services Representative (FSR) if the owner’s manual for your vehicle is missing.
