Car servicing?

Question

What should I change to service a 25,000 km car? Besides oil filet, engine oil.. should I use semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil?

Answer 1

One thing is never take it to the dealership. The reason I say this is because if anybody here ever looked at the list that they actually do, you will notice that 95% is check,check,check,check and so on. They mainly "check" than replace anything. Back to the question. I would replace the tranny fluid. If you have a rear wheel drive, I would change the fluid there also.

Answer 2

I would recommend full syn. as this will work the best, but still get your oil changed every 3,000 or 3 months even if you dont put 3,000 on it.

I use FRAM oil filters because the use thicker steel on the filter and I have never had one with loose welding flash inside.I also like Fram Air fliters as they seem to just be made better.

You should also check into what your user guide for your car says about coolent and trans fluid as well if you have any greese fitting that need to be greesed. Also dont forget about brake fluid, most want you to flush the whole system.

Take your car to a oil change place or auto shop they will recomend when you need such things done

Answer 3

the best thing would be to take it to the dealer. Air filter, tire rotation, wiperfluid. Check the owners manual, u can save a lot of money by doing basic maintance yourself. U dont need much maintanance with a new car unless u drive like a fool.

Answer 4

Look in the owners manual. It will have a list of suggested maintenance for 25K miles. For oil, I use Mobil One.
