Is it advisable to follow PMS checkups on slightly used cars?

PMS Checkup - pre menstrual syndrome check-up. Ang babae kasi, bago magkaroon, madaming nararamdaman sa katawan like mood changes, aches and sores everywhere, etc. So kailangang i-pa-checkup dahil baka may underlying causes.

Seriously, PMS means, Preventive Maintenance Services. This is the process where everything is checked, parts are changed before it can break down or can cause a breakdown.

I follow the km reading and not the months. Usually I have my 5000km PMS every 7-8 months.

This works if your vehicle is your daily driver and you drive it a lot.

But if you don't then it won't really hurt to work in the time interval component of the PMS.

Most of it is usually just check and adjust / replace as necessary.

With fluids, especially the oils, it has more to do with oxidation than anything.

My two cents
