Recommended Scheduled Maintenance for Preserving Optimal Automotive Performance

Oil Change: Every 3000 miles for in-town , short trip drivers; 6000 miles for highway drivers. Allows cursory inspections for added safety.

Major Service/In-Depth Inspection: Every 15000 miles. Usually recurs every 12 months.

Transmission Fluid and Filter Change: Every 27,500 miles for cars built before 1998; transmission complete fluid and filter change with pan gasket replacement.

Brake Fluid Change: Every 12 months, important especially for automobiles equipped with Antilock Braking System (ABS) due to moisture absorption and "slime" deposits that cause hose swelling and rust in metal brake pieces.

Antifreeze Change: Every 3 years, due to metal build-up
