General maintenance schedule
These are common starting intervals, not a factory schedule for your engine. Your owner's manual always wins.
| Engine oil & filter | Every 5,000 miles or 6 months Use the oil grade and spec in your owner's manual. Some engines allow longer. |
|---|---|
| Tire rotation | Every 7,500 miles or 6 months Also a good time to check tread depth and pressures. |
| Brake inspection | Every 12,000 miles or 1 year Pads, rotors, lines and fluid level. |
| Cabin air filter | Every 15,000 miles or 1 year Sooner if the airflow smells musty or feels weak. |
| Engine air filter | Every 20,000 miles or 2 years Sooner on dusty or gravel roads. |
| Wiper blades | Every 1 year |
| 12V battery test | Every 3 years Most 12V batteries last 3 to 5 years. Test before winter. |
| 12V battery replaced | Every 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 flush | Every 30,000 miles or 2 years Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time. |
| Spark plugs | Every 60,000 miles Iridium or platinum plugs often go 100,000 miles. Check the manual. |
| Transmission fluid | Every 60,000 miles Interval varies a lot by transmission. Check the manual. |
| Coolant flush | Every 60,000 miles or 5 years Some long-life coolants go 100,000+ miles. |
| Serpentine belt | Every 90,000 miles Inspect for cracks at every oil change. |
| Timing belt (if equipped) | Every 90,000 miles or 7 years Skip if your engine has a timing chain. Check the manual. |
