Passenger cars require different types of periodic maintenance. The most common and well-known procedure is the replacement of oil and filters, the so-called basic service. At the time of a pandemic, there is a need for social distance, reduced interaction between people and avoidance of all possible contamination of personal belongings. Oil and filter changes can be planned and optimized in advance but the replacement interval should not be exceeded for a long period of time. Regular replacement is essential to maintain reliability and operation lifetime of vehicles. Due to the unknown duration of the pandemic, the car owner can approach the maintenance procedure in a do it yourself (DIY) manner. Necessary spare parts can be ordered online and received by a delivery service without a human contact. The paper provides an overview of two-form practical implementation of basic maintenance that includes the replacement of lubricants and filters. The first maintenance form requires a skillful certified technician and the second form, as an interim service, can be carried out by an everyday user with a certain level of technical education who will independently and periodically monitor the car condition.
