Your computer is similar to your car. It needs maintenance at certain intervals to keep it humming along. Remember, your car needs it’s oil changed about every 5,000 miles and your transmission should be flushed about every 30,000 or else you run the risk of a costly mechanical breakdown.
About every 100,000 most cars require the spark plugs to be changed. If you own a car with a timing belt, it needs to be changed about every 60,000 miles. Skipping any of the above maintenance could leave you stranded on the side of the road.
