Maintenance and Repair Tips
 | 1. Oil Changes |
Always follow the maintenance schedule in the owners manual. Most oil change intervals have already been extended to 7500 miles or even to 10,000 miles between oil changes. However, the cheapest preventive maintenance you can do to help prevent a major engine failure or premature wear to the engine is to change your oil every 3000 miles or 3 months, whichever comes first.
| 2. Other Fluids |
Although most people focus on the engine oil and transmission fluid, most of the other fluids have a maintenance requirement. It may only be to check the level and condition of the fluid or it may require changing the fluid. This information will also be found in the vehicle owner's manual.
| 3. Extended Warranty |
When buying a new car that you plan on keeping for more than several years, it is a good idea to invest in an extended warranty. Vehicles nowadays are very expensive to repair and the first large repair performed on the vehicle after the factory warranty expires would probably pay for the extended warranty.
