Forget the dash reminder gadgets or manufacture maintenance schedules You change trans fluid every 3 years If you want to change at 30,000 miles that's perfect,just don't go past 3 years & do power steering at same time
the maintenance schedule is in the owners manual on the last 2 pages I believe, But here are some of the things to check
the maintenance schedule on that car calls for oil changes every 3,750 miles if you primarily use the car around town or 7,500 if you do mostly highway driving without stop and go traffic. Most cars should go by the 3,750 schedule.
tire rotations should be every 7,500 miles. Brakes should be checked when the tires are rotated.
the major service on the 4 cylinder is every 30,000 miles. that includes the tune-up items of replacing spark plugs, adjusting the valves, replacing the air filter, transmission fluid, interior cabin filter and the inspections and adjustments.
the 6 cylinder does not need the valve adjustment or spark plug replacement until 105,000 miles. otherwise, the fluids and filter replacements are every 30k.
the timing belt on both the 4 cyl and the 6 cyl is 105,000. at that time the water pump and coolant are also replaced as well as the other accessory drive belts.
Brake fluid should be replaced every 3 years or 45,000 miles.
depends on how you drive, the car will tell you when you need to change the oil, tire pressure, most tire shops will tell you 5000 miles then rotate tires, remember front to back same side do not change right sides for left sides, as far as trans oil, never, wipers depends on what kind of area you are in.
Check your owners manual for recamended fluid and filter service. Some new cars and trucks don't even have a dipstick to check the fluid level, because some transmissions and transaxles on newer cars and trucks are sealed from the factory and are designed to not require fluid changes and periodic checking of fluid level.
Your owners manuel should have all the information on servicing the transmission, the engine oil, tire rotation, jacking points on your vehicle, as well as oil grade/wt. along with when to change your filters, etc.
air filter inspect every 3000 miles // less if you in the country Change every 12,000 miles
There is nothing to lube on a modern day car!
Wheel bearing inspect every 12,000 miles.
Fuel filter 24,000 miles or less
Tire rotation is depending on are you a lead foot driver. Keep tabs on the rear treads. The rear wear faster on RWD car. The idea is keep the wear even.
Shop around,some shop is offering free tire rotation with oil change!
