Dose routine and preventative maintenance really make that much of a difference?
Yes. Yes. Yes. Because when one part gets old and worn out before it totally fails it very often stresses out other parts its connected to. Heres a fact: Parts wear out. So replace them before they affect the other parts. Its like you have a pair of shoes that are wearing out but you keep putting off getting a new pair, even though you have the opportunity to do so. You figure you will just keep walking and save the money. But after a while you realize that you have now worn a hole not only in the sole but now your socks are frayed. To make matters worse your arches have fallen because the shoe was worn out, and now you have a foot problem. So now you replace your shoes but have to get new socks and pay the foot doctor.
