Hello, my name is John,
Today I wanted to talk about routine maintenance on your car, the reason is because just the other day a friend of mine blew up his car.
And the reason was he just didn't check his oil so I've made this blog, just to give you a routine maintenance schedule that you should follow the following maintenance intervals are based on the assumption that the vehicle owner will be doing the maintenance or service work as opposed to having a dealer service department do the work. Although the time/mileage intervals are loosely based on factory recommendations, most have been shortened to ensure, for example that such items has lubricants and fluids are checked/changed at intervals that promote maximum engine/driveline service life. Also subject to the preference of the individual owner interested in keeping his or her vehicle in peak condition at all times, and with the vehicles ultimate resale in mind, many of the maintenance procedures may be performed more often than recommended in the following schedule. I encourage such owner initiative
when the vehicle is new it should be serviced initially by a factory authorized dealer serviced apartment to protect the factory warranty. In many cases the initial maintenance check is done at no cost the owner(check with your dealer service department for more information).
Every 250 miles or weekly, whichever comes first.
Check the engine oil level; add oil as necessary.
Check the engine coolant level; add coolant as necessary.
Check the windshield washer fluid level.
Check the battery electrolyte level.
Check the brake fluid level.
Check the tires and tire pressure.
Check the automatic transmission fluid level.
Check the power steering fluid level.
Check the operation of all lights.
Check the horn in operation,
remember that's just the basics there are a lot of other things, that could be checked.
Every 3, 000 miles or three months whichever comes first.
Change the engine oil and filter.
Every 7, 500 miles or six months whichever comes first.
Check and clean the battery.
Check the manual transaxle fluid level.
Check the cooling system hoses and connections for leaks and damages.
Check condition of all vacuum hoses and connections.
Chuck the wiper blade condition.
Check for free play in the steering linkage and balljoints.
Rotate the tires.
Check the CV joints and front suspension components.
Check the exhaust pipes and hangers.
Every 15,000 miles or 12 months whichever comes first.
Lubricate the front suspension and steering balljoints.
Check the brakes.
Check the fuel system hoses and connections for leaks and damage.
Check the drive belts and adjust if necessary.
Every 60,000 miles or 48 months whichever comes first.
Replace the timing belt.
This item is affected by severe operating conditions as described below. If your vehicle in question operated under severe conditions form all maintenance procedures that I'm about to describe.
For example if most of your driving is done in dusty areas, towing a trailer, idling for extended periods and/or low-speed operation when outside temperatures remain below freezing most trips are less than 4 miles. In heavy city traffic were outside temperatures readily reach 90°F or higher, I recommend a shorter maintenance schedule.
Every 2000 miles.
Change the engine oil and filter.
Every 9000 miles.
Check the drive axles, suspension steering boots, checked the brakes, lubricate the tie-rod ends.
Every 15,000 miles.
Replace the air filter element. Change the automatic transmission fluid and filter, adjust the automatic transaxle bans.
As you can see all I have done here is back up the schedule just a little to because your car really needs your attention, as much as you're driving. I hope that this will help you to keep a maintenance schedule for your car. Next time I would like to talk about tune- ups
