The way cars are built today has almost made maintenance unnecessary. If your plan is to trade your car in for a new one before your warranty is up, like at 50,000 miles. You don't even need to change the oil or rotate your tires.
Now with that being said, if you plan to keep your car for some time. Change the oil every 3 to 5 thousand miles. Rotate your tires front to back every other oil change. Replace your wiper blades every other year. And by all means, just walk around and take a look at it every now and again. Look to see that your lights are working. If it is slow to crank over, replace the battery SOON! Check the air filter when you change the oil. If it needs one, replace it. $10 bucks now may save you a $100 bucks in the future.
In the long run a few things maintained now may save you from a lot of things later. As one one thing goes it can break other things. |
