The article provides a solution to the problem of optimizing the frequency of maintenance on the example of the frame of a KamAZ-4308 truck. As an optimization criterion, it is proposed to use unit costs for a given time, including the costs of eliminating hidden failures. The calculation of the frame resource is carried out, the empirical and approximating functions of the general population of the finite volume are obtained.
