i would like to make a spreadsheet of all the items i need to keep track of and swap out. i do not know much about cars, but i would like to know when something comes due and that it needs to be changed out. the only thing i really already know is the oil change every 3000 miles, but what about spark plugs, filter and the rest? thanks for all your answers!What are all the items i need to constantly change for my car and how often?for example: spark plugs, oil etc?It really depends on the car but a general rule of thumb is, oil and oil filter at every 3k, engine and cabin air filters every 15k, fuel filter every 15-20k, spark plugs 30k for regular, 60-90k for most platinum spark plugs, PCV valve 15k, rotate tires and check brakes 5-6k, lube chassis, suspension and locks 15k, check tire pressures weekly, check lighting weekly and replace wiper blades annually. Belts and hoses should be replaced at 60k or 6yrs and timing belts range from 60-110k if equipped and depending on year, make and model. Sorry, almost left out the transmission fluid, 15k if you tow and 25k under normal conditions.What are all the items i need to constantly change for my car and how often?for example: spark plugs, oil etc?It should be in your owners manual.
If you don't have one, someone may be able to tell you if you clue us into what kind of car you have as different cars have different requirements.What are all the items i need to constantly change for my car and how often?for example: spark plugs, oil etc?Ideally, the air filter should be checked everytime you fill up at the pump, but of course the world isn't ideal. You should check it at least once a month because I'm sure your driving areas can change in that time frame, thus exposing your filter to different elements.
I would check everything else (spark plugs, all other fluids, hoses, PCV valve, etc) every 15,000 miles to be safe, and change them out if it looks abnormal. Your manufacturer should provide you with a time frame of service intervals for each thing in the owners manual.What are all the items i need to constantly change for my car and how often?for example: spark plugs, oil etc?if it is an auto trans you need to change the filter in it every 250,000 miles unless you don't mind buying a new one
and changing your fuel filter at 50,000 time should buy you some more time on the fuelpump they are genarelly300 bucks or better so that being said BUY a chilton it will help answer these questions with out the sar casum
