Ma xintenance concept
Consistent product development has enabled a
future-oriented servicing concept to be implemented
in model series 451.
The servicing concept of the smart fortwo has allowed
the service intervals to be extended significantly, as
shown below.

Oil Service Plus
In combustion engines with a high engine output per
unit of displacement, the engine oil is subjected to
extreme loads. With 3.7 US qt (3.5 liters), the smart
fortwo has a relatively small quantity of engine oil,
meaning that it has to be replaced at regular
time/mileage intervals.
To help optimize operating costs, the "Oil Service
Plus" has been introduced, which is due every 10 000
miles or once per year. It comprises merely an engine
oil change and inspection of the safety-relevant
components and functions.

This servicing concept has benefits for both the
workshops and the customers:
• Customers have lower vehicle operating costs due
to the reduced maintenance costs as a whole. This
improves customer satisfaction.
• The workshops improve their competitiveness in
the servicing business especially. Longer-lasting
customer loyalty and better chances of follow-up
business are possible with this concept.
