Car maintenance schedule for UAE driving
Short answer: Follow your manufacturer's service interval, and treat UAE driving as 'severe conditions': heat, dust and stop-start traffic wear oil, filters, batteries, tyres and the AC faster. A minor service covers oil, filter and inspection; a major service adds more filters, fluids and a fuller check.
Minor vs major service
A minor service usually covers engine oil and filter and a multi-point inspection. A major service adds air and cabin filters, spark plugs or other fluids depending on the car, and a more detailed check. Your owner's manual lists the intervals.
What heat does
High temperatures shorten battery life, age tyres and rubber faster and put extra load on cooling and AC systems. Check coolant, battery health and tyre pressure more often in summer.
Dust and filters
Fine dust clogs air and cabin filters sooner, which affects performance and air quality in the cabin.
Keep records
A stamped service history supports warranty claims and resale value. Ask the garage which parts and oil grade they use.
