How often should I get an oil change?

Oil changes should be done every 3,000 to 7,500 miles in order to make sure it’s fresh enough to properly cool, clean, and lubricate the engine. You can find the correct mileage interval for your vehicle in the owner's manual. Check the oil regularly when the car is turned off and cool and add fluid if necessary.

When should I rotate/balance my tires?

Rotating tires is the best way to make your tires wear evenly. It’s recommended you do this every 5,000 to 8,000 miles depending on what your manual says. Balancing tires evens out the weight on each tire and should be done every 4,000 to 6,000 miles, when any of your tires are replaced, or if you notice symptoms like uneven tread wear and shaking over 40 mph.

When should I check my tire pressure?

Check tire pressure about twice a month in winter and once every couple of months in warmer seasons. You can find the right psi for your tires in your owner’s manual.

How do I know when I should replace brake parts?

If you notice that your vehicle pulls to one side, screeches, or shakes when you brake, this could be a sign of brake problems and you should take your vehicle to your dealership or mechanic as soon as possible to fix the problem.
