Ect.



you kinda get the point can you help me please.How often do i do Car Maintance?When to change oil? You can not look at oil and determine either condition unless there is particulate matter or sludge present. And unless oil is subjected to extremely high temps and breaks down, the oil itself doesn’t really “go bad”. But the additive package does “go away” over time. So the correct interval is a guess. A rule of thumb is the greater percentage of “severe” conditions, the shorter the interval between changes. What’s severe? Heat of summer, very cold temps, stop/go driving, high engine loads; which is about everyone. What’s not severe? A vehicle that runs at near constant load for extended periods of time without stopping and starting. So you’ve got to decide.



My advice? Change oil and filter between 3,000 and 5,000 miles under really severe conditions and 5 – 7,500 if the engine’s being babied.



Tiore rotation: Every 10-15,000 miles or sooner if all tires are NOT wearing the same.



Brake service: As required. Often depends on how you drive.



Fluids: I'm not a big fan of changing fluids. Often more harm is done than good. Keep them all at the level specified and you should be OK. Engine coolant is the excpetion where 24 months is generally appropriate.



Transmission: Check the level evey month or two, but I wouldn't change it as often as some OEMs recommend for the reason cited above. A good automatic transmisson should not require the fluid to be changed more often than 100,000 miles unless there's indications of a problem with the fluid.. But like I say, that's my personnel opinion.How often do i do Car Maintance?wel oil change is every 3000 to 4000 miles tires rotated every 20000 miles brakes 40k to 50k coolant flushed every 30k and trans fluid check every 1000 miles changed at 50kHow often do i do Car Maintance?It depends on the type of car you have and the year. For example, some of new cars say oil changed only every 3500-3750 miles. I would suggest looking in your owner's manual-it gives a schedule for all the stuff.



If you don't have one, go to the website of your car and it should offer maintenance tips for year and type of car.How often do i do Car Maintance?The Oil change can be done every 6,000 to 9,000 miles depend on the size of the car and the type of car and how often you use the car. you can check the from your local Tyre shop they should advice and it's normally a free services. New brakes can go up 10,000 miles depending if the car is auto or manual. the rest could go up to three or more years depending on usageHow often do i do Car Maintance?No Problem, Just do as the owners manual says,Brakes should last 40 to50 thousand miles if you don't ride them, Check transmission every other oil change, Rotate tires ever other oil change and you be OKHow often do i do Car Maintance?Ok, as I learned it it's :



Oil change every 3 months or 3,000 miles.



Tires rotated every other oil change.



Brakes checked each time you rotate tires because different people and different vehicles wear out brakes at different times. (many shops will check this for free by the way)



Transmissions should be flushed every 30,000 miles.



Brake fluid changed every 12,000 miles or at least once a year.



Coolant depends on what kind you have. If you have the old fashioned green stuff you need to flush it every 30,000 miles refilling it with a 50/50 mix of coolant and purified water. If you have the new Dexcool (orange) stuff you should flush it every 70,000 miles with a 50/50 mix of coolant and purified water.How often do i do Car Maintance?oil change/tire rotation same time do it every 7500 miles all multipurpose oils are good for 7500 miles,do your brakes every 2 years brakes get very hot so they can only with stand the heat for so long then theyll go bad,transmission,power steering fluid same type do every 30,000 miles.coolant flush once a year.put fuel cleaner in your tank every 6 mnonthHow often do i do Car Maintance?Well oil changes should be done at about every 3 months or 3000 miles. This is a basic rule of thumb as some oils are still affective up to 5000 miles or in a very few instances, 7500 miles. Tires, I think I would go every other oil change at 6000 miles. Brakes, I usually change them as soon as I start hearing the front brakes make noise and check the rear at the same time. Transmission can be checked at every oil change and changed every year. This is a very basic and general information. It would be best advised to talk with a trusted mechanic or dealer service writer.How often do i do Car Maintance?cranknban has about the best answer of al
