How to use this schedule
Service the car for how it is used, not just what the odometer says. Hard road use and short urban use can both accelerate maintenance needs in different ways.
Every 12 months
- Engine oil and filter service
- Battery, charging, and module-health review
- Brake and tyre inspection
- Diagnostic scan for stored emissions or low-voltage faults
- Cooling and induction system visual inspection
Every 24 months
- Brake fluid replacement
- Full underbody and suspension inspection
- Wheel alignment check
- Cabin filter and drainage review
Every 48 months
- Ignition service review
- Accessory belt and ancillaries inspection
- Coolant age review
- Transmission and differential fluid review against official guidance
Before very fast touring or repeated hard road use
- Inspect brakes and tyres closely
- Confirm no warning-light pattern is developing
- Check battery state if the car has sat
- Verify coolant level and general engine-bay condition
Checks, fluids, and inspection notes
Regular checks
- Voltage stability matters more than many owners expect.
- Tyres and brakes can age out before they wear out on low-mileage cars.
- Do not normalise occasional emissions warnings.
Fluid strategy
- Use only the exact approved oil and coolant specifications.
- Brake fluid age matters on a heavy, fast GT.
- Review driveline fluid history conservatively.
Inspection notes
- A DBS Superleggera feels expensive when several consumables come due together, so spread inspections through the year.
- Ignoring a minor warning light often creates a more expensive visit later.
Frequently asked questions
Can the DBS Superleggera sit for long periods?
It can, but only with correct battery support and a plan for tyre, brake, and fluid ageing.
What maintenance shortcut causes the most grief?
Stretching service intervals because the mileage is low.
