Regular replacement of oil, coolant and lubrication of units and assemblies is a mandatory procedure for any car. Skoda Rapid requires consumables to be of high quality and precisely matched. Otherwise, the service life of its parts will be reduced significantly.
In order to save money, many drivers prefer to perform this procedure on their own. This option is quite acceptable, it is not necessary to contact specialists.

Mistakes are unacceptable, as they will lead to rapid wear of parts. As a result, the car breaks down at the most inopportune moment.
There is a large list of liquids that are used for these purposes. They have the same purpose, but are used in different cases. When choosing a suitable lubrication option, it is necessary to take into account the mileage of the car, the deterioration of the units, when new oil was poured, and so on.
