How often should I get an oil change?

All vehicles are a bit different when it comes to oil changes as the age of your engine, the type of oil you use, and your driving habits are all contributing factors. However, most modern vehicles need an oil change every 7,500 miles or every six months. Your owner's manual can give you specifics for your vehicle.

How often should I get a tire rotation?

It's generally a good idea to rotate your tires whenever you get an oil change.

Why does my vehicle need a tire rotation?

Your tires need adequate, even tread so your car can get the traction it needs, but your tires don't wear down at the same rate. Your front tires tend to wear down faster due to the added weight of the engine and the fact that the front wheels tend to do most of the driving work. By moving the front tires to the back and the back tires to the front, you can help your tires wear evenly.

How often does my engine air filter need to be changed?

Many automakers recommend changing the air filter every 30,000 miles or three years to help prevent contaminants from entering your engine. Your owner's manual will let you know for sure!
