A simple maintenance schedule that keeps your used car alive

Most expensive repairs start as cheap maintenance that got skipped. Here's a schedule that's easy to follow.

Every 3,000–5,000 miles (or as your owner's manual says)

• Oil and filter change
• Tire rotation and pressure check
• Quick look at wipers, lights and fluid levels

Every 15,000–30,000 miles

• Engine and cabin air filters
• Brake inspection — pads, rotors and fluid
• Front-end alignment check, especially after a pothole season

Every 30,000–60,000 miles

• Coolant flush
• Transmission service
• Battery test (do it every fall before the cold hits)

Every year

• Pennsylvania state inspection
• Undercarriage rinse after winter to fight road salt
