To make sure your vehicle stays in top shape, it’s important to stay on top of regular maintenance. Below are some common services and their recommended intervals to help you keep track. Let’s dive into the details to ensure your car is always performing at its best:
1. How often should you change your oil?
We recommend changing your oil every 5,000 miles or every 6-12 months, whichever comes first. Even if you don’t reach the mileage, oil degrades over time and needs to be replaced for optimal engine performance.
2. When should you change your transmission fluid?
Transmission fluid should be changed every 30,000 miles or every 2-5 years. This helps keep your transmission running smoothly and prevents costly repairs down the line.
3. How often should you flush your cooling system?
We recommend flushing your cooling system every 30,000 miles or every 4 years to prevent overheating and ensure your engine stays at the right temperature.
4. When should you have a fuel injection service?
Fuel injection service is recommended every 30,000 miles or every 2 years. This service helps clean the injectors and keeps your engine running efficiently.
5. How often should you change your brake fluid?
Most manufactures recommend change brake fluid every 2-3 years or between 25,000-35,000 miles. Whichever occurs first.
6. When should you inspect your brakes?
Your brakes should be inspected at every oil change, or every 6 months. Regular inspections help catch issues before they become major problems. Brakes typically last anywhere from 30,000-70,000 miles. It's recommend to replace rotors when replacing brake pads. Most of the time the rotors are warped or very corroded.
8. How often should you replace your air filter?
Your air filter should be inspected every oil change and will typically need replaced every 10,000 to 30,000 miles. A clean air filter ensures your engine gets the proper airflow it needs to run efficiently.
9. When should you replace your cabin air filter.
The cabin air filter should typically be replaced every 10,000 miles or at least once a year. It plays a crucial role in keeping the air you breathe inside your car clean and free from contaminants. Despite its importance, it’s often overlooked—leading to some surprising issues, like rodents making nests in the filter.
10. How often should you check your belts and hoses?
Belts and hoses should be checked every oil change, and they typically need to be replaced between 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Regular inspection helps avoid breakdowns and costly repairs.
11. How often should you check your tire pressure?
Tire pressure should be checked once a month or at least every oil change. Maintaining the right pressure ensures better fuel efficiency and tire longevity.
12. When should you check your exterior lights?
Your exterior lights should be checked weekly or during every oil change. Proper lighting is crucial for your safety and for making sure your car is visible to other drivers.
