This standard maintenance package includes draining the engine oil, replacing the oil filter, and lubricating any grease fittings on the chassis or suspension. It forms the core of a vehicle's regular service intervals. Dealerships and quick-lube shops use this code on repair orders to quickly dispatch basic maintenance work to entry-level technicians.
