• Tire rotation
• Multi-point inspection (brakes, battery, fluid levels, belts, hoses, lights, wipers)
• Inspect and top off all fluids

 

Every 15,000 Miles (or 18 Months)

• Replace cabin air filter
• Inspect brake system, suspension, steering, and exhaust components

 

Every 30,000 Miles (or 36 Months)

• Comprehensive inspection of transmission fluid cooler, hoses, exhaust, ball joints, steering gear

 

Every 60,000 Miles (or 72 Months)

• Replace spark plugs (for most models)

• Brake pad replacement as needed

 

Every 90,000 Miles
