How often should I change my oil? –

Depending on the vehicle make and model, most cars require an oil change at about 3,000 Miles intervals or roughly about 3 months. On many newer vehicles, engine oil service has increased to 5,000 mile intervals due to Synthetic Motor Oils, which do not break down as quick as regular conventional oils and provide better heat protection for your Engine.

How often should I check my oil level? –

I would recommend to check your engine oil level every 1,000 Miles or Every 2 Weeks. This will insure you have the recommended level in your vehicle and to prevent any engine damage if it is too low.

How often should I change my transmission oil? –

Most automatic transmissions should be serviced every 30,000 to 60,000 Miles. Most transmissions have a serviceable filter which should also be replaced during that time.

When should I replace my timing belt?

Vehicles that use a timing belt should have it replaced at about 90,000 Miles and should be inspected every 30,000 Miles after that.

When should I replace my battery? –

You should replace your battery when your vehicle has certain starting issues which are usually linked to worn out or under charged batteries.
