agree Laura Brugnaro : Agree with Giulia, they are not synonymous, even though to keep the machine running you need maintenance.

neutral philgoddard : They may not be synonyms in Italian, but they are in English. To maintain something is to keep it running efficiently.

maintenance

I would leave it out. "Manutenzione" and "mantenimento in efficienza" both mean the same thing.
