Besides, changing oil regularly, what are other things required for routine car maintenance and how often?

Question

I'm mostly concerned with engine maintenance, wires, plugs, timing belt...............

Answer 1

Well it depends on the year make and model of your car. The newer ones don't have much maintenance until they hit about 60,000 miles. One thing that should be done every 30,000 miles is a transmission flush, fuel filter, radiator service, fuel injection service, tune up (if needed). brake inspection, air filter if dirty. But like i said it depends on the year make and model of the vehicle. Some vehicles the fuel filter is in the gas tank which doesn't get changed until 100,000 miles. if not sure ask your mechanic to look on mitchell on demand that will tell you what services are due at time.

Answer 2

Checking air in your tires, rotating tires, have the belts ( or belt ) hoses etc checked. Have the coolant flushed and changed at least once a year and that also goes for an automatic transmission. Have the differential serviced ( if it's a rear wheel drive car ) once a year. Have the brakes checked regularly depending on miles you drive. Windshield wiper refills replaced in Fall helps thru the bad weather. Hope I helped.

Answer 3

Check your tire's air pressure regularly, like maybe every two weeks. Check for tire wear too. Stick a penny in the treads, head first. If the head on Lincoln disappears, you have enough tread. If you still see it, think about new tires. Have them rotated about every 12,000 miles.

Change your air filter regularly, check your coolant level, etc. Look in your car's owner's manual. Typically there will be a recommended service schedule for various things printed at the back of the manual. If you don't have it, go to a dealer that sells your brand of cars and buy one.

Answer 4

Check owners manual-maintenance section. Do not have one, buy one from dealer.Preventative maintenance will save you a bundle in the long run.

Answer 5

Lube suspension and drive train grease fittings (ea oil change)

Check the brakes (w/rotation 3-5 k miles)

Check all fluids, trans, differentials, etc

Answer 6

You can use the maintenance guides here in the parts stores http://painintheexhaust.blogspot.com most on line parts stores have a do it yourself help section with tips and maintenance schedules

Answer 7

You should have tires rotated every 4th oil change. You should have oil filters changed when changing oil...and air filters changed every 6000miles or so.
