First up, let's talk about the lifeblood of your engine - oil changes. If you're using conventional oil, you'll want to change it every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. For those of you with synthetic oil, you can stretch that to between 5,000 and 10,000 miles. Remember folks, regular oil changes prevent those tiny bits of metal, dirt, and carbon from causing excessive wear on your engine.
Your tires need love too! Rotate them every 6,000 to 8,000 miles to ensure even wear. Pro tip: to save yourself an extra trip to the mechanic, ask to have your tires rotated during your oil change appointments.
Many manufacturers follow what's called a "30-60-90" schedule, meaning certain items need inspection, change, or replacement at 30,000, 60,000, and 90,000 miles. By the 30,000-mile mark, you should replace your air filter. If you park or drive in dusty environments, do this closer to 15,000 miles.
Around the same time, consider changing your brake fluid. This keeps your brakes working properly and should be done somewhere between 20,000 to 45,000 miles, depending on your vehicle.
Beyond the mileage markers, there are also time-based maintenance tasks. Every 6 months, perform a battery performance check, especially once your battery hits the three-year mark. Also, wax your vehicle twice a year to protect the finish from rust.
Annually, inspect your brake system, including pads, rotors, and fluid. Also check your coolant/antifreeze and replace it yearly, with a complete cooling system flush after 60,000 miles.
For the long-haulers out there, once you hit 100,000 miles, congratulations! Your car can likely last well over 200,000 miles with proper care. At 125,000 miles, change those O2 sensors and inspect your A/C compressor.
The beauty of following a maintenance schedule is threefold: you prevent major breakdowns, maintain your vehicle's resale value, and enhance fuel efficiency. It's like going to the doctor for regular checkups, except your car won't complain about the waiting room magazines.
