Thanks for all the responses. It is a 2007 Toyota Corolla.

Is this a new car? If yes, there is a maintenance schedule included in the car manual. If it is a used car:

Oil change every three thousand miles
Tire rotate every other oil change
Tune up, every 25,000 unless you are getting poor gas mileage or car is missing ....do that now.

Best place to look for all of that stuff is the owners manual in your glove box. If for some reason that's missing most Automakers will have those manuals available online.

Car Maintenance
Motor vehicles are a major source of ozone pollution in most urban areas. Your driving habits and your car maintenance can either add to the problem or help to solve it.

How you drive your car
Plan ahead. Organize your trips to combine several errands into one trip and drive fewer miles per trip; and avoid driving during peak traffic periods when stop-and-go traffic is at its worst.
Try walking or bicycling for short errands and leisure activities.
Ride share. Carpools and public transportation reduce the number of cars on the road and miles driven.

Use clean fuels. CNG, LPG, reformulated, or "clean" gasolines are becoming more widely available. Use them when possible.
Drive at a medium speed. In normal traffic conditions, most cars operate most efficiently between 35 and 45 miles per hour; lower or higher speeds are less efficient.

Drive at a steady speed. It is more fuel efficient to drive at an even speed than it is to keep speeding up and slowing down. This is true in heavy traffic as well as on the open road.
Stop and start evenly. Gently accelerating reduces gas consumption. Coasting to a stop lets the car's momentum, not its fuel, get you where you want to go.

Don't idle the engine unnecessarily.

Don't overfill or "top off" your car's gas tank.
Avoid releasing gasoline vapors while refueling your vehicle. Gasoline service stations in ozone non-attainment areas are now required to install vapor control devices on their pumps to limit emissions of gasoline vapors during vehicle refueling.
Get regular engine tune-ups and car maintenance checks. Tune-ups improve your gas mileage and car performance. The spark plugs are especially important, because a worn spark plug will cause poor starting, rough idling, and poor gas mileage.
Make sure your tires are properly inflated and your wheels aligned. Doing this can prevent excessive drag and improve fuel economy up to one mile per gallon.
Keep car filters and catalytic converters clean. Dirty air filters increase fuel consumption; and your car's pollution control devices need to be in good working order to be effective. Follow the car manufacturer's guidelines.
Use your car air conditioner wisely. Air conditioning is a drag on your car's engine, reducing gas mileage by as much as 20 percent. On not-so-hot days or while in stop-and-go traffic, roll down your window instead. Have leaks in your car air conditioner fixed by a certified technician using required CFC recycling equipment.

You must give YEAR, MAKE and MODEL or you will get sites for every car ever made.

I suggest the manufacturers website.
