Scheduled Vehicle Maintenance

Although your vehicle’s requirements may vary, below is what is typically recommended:

Every 5,000 miles

• Oil and oil filter change if using conventional oil

Every 10,000 miles

• Rotate tires
• Oil change if using synthetic oil
• Inspect and, if necessary, change the cabin air filter and engine air filter

At 36,000 miles

• Full mechanical inspection – Have this done before the standard three-year vehicle warranty expires so the manufacturer is responsible for the repairs. Some vehicles may have a longer comprehensive vehicle warranty, see your vehicle’s warranty guide for coverage

At 50,000 miles

• Replace brake pads and fuel filter
• Drain and replace transmission fluid and filter
• Inspect exhaust, emissions, and suspension systems

At 60,000 miles

• Replace spark plugs
• Change tires
• Inspect belts, hoses, and valves (if the vehicle is equipped with a timing belt, have it changed according to the automaker’s recommendations to avoid engine damage)

At 100,000 miles

• Change high-mileage coolants and 100,000-mile spark plugs (if so equipped)
• Full mechanical inspection

At 125,000 miles

• Change O2 sensors, coolant, and brake fluid
• Inspect the air conditioning compressor and belt tensioner
• Replace shocks and struts and get a wheel alignment

At 180,000 miles

• Change the power steering fluid
• Clean airflow sensor
• Inspect seals on axles and driveshafts and replace them if leaking
• Inspect the timing chain (if equipped), and engine/transmission mounts

At 250,000 miles

• Clean fuel injectors
• Inspect the chassis
• Check the catalytic converter for damage
