Question 2

What is included in a 30k/60k/90k mile service?

These milestone services typically include an oil change, filter replacements, fluid top-offs or flushes, spark plug inspection, belt and hose inspection, and a full safety check.

Question 3

Why is transmission fluid important?

Transmission fluid lubricates and cools the transmission's moving parts. Old or contaminated fluid causes slipping, rough shifts, and eventually transmission failure.

Coolant should be flushed every 30,000–50,000 miles or every 3–5 years. Signs it is overdue include discoloration, a sweet smell from under the hood, or overheating.

Question 5

What filters should be changed regularly?

Engine air filters, cabin air filters, and fuel filters all need periodic replacement. Air filters typically need changing every 15,000–30,000 miles.
