Among my favourite redundancies is the phrase "preventative
maintenance". I mean, isn't maintenance by it's very nature...? Oh
hell, never mind.

It should be Preventive Maintenance, and all it means is you do those
maintenance tasks that prevent failure - like checking the oil & topping
it off; making sure there's enough air in the tires so they don't run
flat; make sure the battery has a charge etc.
Getting routine oil changes, adding anti-freeze to the coolant when
winter comes, grease the steering & suspension so they don't seize up.
Even filling up with gas before you run out ...
Nothing redundant about it.
