General maintenance schedule

These are common starting intervals, not a factory schedule for your engine. Your owner's manual always wins.

Engine oil & filterEvery 5,000 miles or 6 months
Use the oil grade and spec in your owner's manual. Some engines allow longer.
Tire rotationEvery 7,500 miles or 6 months
Also a good time to check tread depth and pressures.
Brake inspectionEvery 12,000 miles or 1 year
Pads, rotors, lines and fluid level.
Cabin air filterEvery 15,000 miles or 1 year
Sooner if the airflow smells musty or feels weak.
Engine air filterEvery 20,000 miles or 2 years
Sooner on dusty or gravel roads.
Wiper bladesEvery 1 year
12V battery testEvery 3 years
Most 12V batteries last 3 to 5 years. Test before winter.
12V battery replacedEvery 5 years
Most last 3 to 5 years. Heat and short trips wear them faster.
Tires (replace)Every 50,000 miles or 6 years
Tread depth and age matter more than miles. Replace at 2/32" of tread (4/32" if you drive in the rain a lot), or around 6 years old. The date code is on the sidewall.
Brake pads (replace)Every 40,000 miles
Replace when about 3 mm (1/8 in) of pad is left, or if you hear grinding. Rear pads usually last longer than front.
Brake rotors (replace)Every 70,000 miles
Replace below the minimum thickness stamped on the rotor, or if warped or deeply grooved. Often done with new pads.
Shocks & struts (replace)Every 75,000 miles
Worn ones cause bouncing, nose-dive when braking and uneven tire wear. Many last 50,000 to 100,000 miles.
Brake fluid flushEvery 30,000 miles or 2 years
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time.
Spark plugsEvery 60,000 miles
Iridium or platinum plugs often go 100,000 miles. Check the manual.

Interval varies a lot by transmission. Check the manual.

Some long-life coolants go 100,000+ miles.
Serpentine beltEvery 90,000 miles
Inspect for cracks at every oil change.

Skip if your engine has a timing chain. Check the manual.
