Depends on how you drive, the car will tell you when you need to change the oil, tire pressure, most tire shops will tell you 5000 miles then rotate tires, remember front to back same side do not change right sides for left sides, as far as trans oil, never, wipers depends on what kind of area you are in.

What is the 30k mile maitenance service include and what are all the tests they run on it?

When your car reaches 30,000 miles, you will want to take it in for its 30,000 mile routine maintenance. Here is what you should expect at that checkup.


* Automatic transmission service: This will be a drain and flush of your transmission oil, a replacement of your transmission filter and a refill of the correct transmission fluid. They will also check for any potential leaks.

* Flush cooling system.

*Electric ignition general tune-up: During the tune-up, the mechanic will run computer checks and check the emissions. If needed, the spark plugs will be replaced and the car will be given an injection system service.


* Fluid levels: The mechanic will also check all fluid levels and do a general under-car condition inspection.



* Brakes: The brake pads will be checked to see if they are still within the correct thickness or if they have been worn down. If necessary, the brake pads may need to be replaced and the rotor machined.



* Steering and suspension: Both of these systems will be checked.



* Tires and wheels: Your wheel alignment will be checked, and, if necessary, they will be aligned to their proper specifications. The tires will be balanced and rotated (if necessary) and the tread on the tire will be checked for their thickness as well as any unusual tread wire. The wheel bearings will be repacked. The tires will also be checked for the correct tire pressure.



* Filters: The air and fuel filters will be replaced.



* Oil: If necessary, your car will also receive an oil change. It is vital that you change your car’s oil at least every 3,000 miles or 3 months (whichever comes first). It is okay to let this go to 5,000 miles, but, under no condition, should you let 7,500 miles pass before getting an oil change. They will also lubricate the chassis.




* Miscellaneous: The mechanic may check all of the lights (brake lights and headlights), check the condition of the coolant hoses, check the belts for tension as well as any wear, check the condition of the windshield wipers, test the charge of the battery and inspect for any fluid leaks.

What milaige maintance do i need to preform

Go to the autozone website at autozone.com and register your vehicle. It doesn't cost anything and you will have access to an online repair manual for your truck. I think they also have where they have the scheduled maint interval for the vehicle and can send email reminders when service is due. You might want to check it out. Hope this helped and best wishes.
