Car Maintenance, Tips, and Advice?

Becky Mosena: You should get your tire tread checked every few oil changes. (As the car gets more miles, I'd change the oil closer to the 3000 mile mark than the 5000 mile mark).I usually replace the spark plugs and wires when I buy a car since they are often neglected, then the plugs again after 40-50k or 2 years (this is more often than recommended, but I found it kept my buick running smoother).Check if there are any grease points (I don't think they had them in that year when it was made, but a lot of replacement suspension parts come with them). And grease them every other oil change (you'll need to tell mechanics to look for them or else they often forget to do it).Fuel Filter is a good thing to replace if you get hard starting or hesitation.Transmission fluid should be checked to make sure it's still red and at a good level, don't get it flushed if it needs replacing, get the pan drained, magnet cleaned and filter changed instead....Show more

That doesn't mean that it should be changed, it just means that it's doing it's job. The oil filter i! s there to help keep the oil free of larger particles but the ! reason oil needs to be changed is primarily due to the loss of oil additives through normal usage....Show more
