3,000 – 5,000 Miles

Regular oil changes are essential to maintaining your vehicle’s engine health. Depending on the type of oil your vehicle requires—conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic—you should plan to change your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or every three to six months.

6,000 Miles

Alignment ensures your tires are pointing in the correct direction, which helps promote even suspension and tire wear. Everyday factors such as rough road conditions, potholes, and normal driving habits can gradually cause your wheels to become misaligned. It is recommended to have your alignment checked every 6,000 miles or approximately every other oil change, making adjustments as necessary.

30,000 Miles

At 30,000 miles, your car typically doesn't require any major repairs. During this service, your mechanic may change the air and fuel filters to help keep your engine compartment clean and running efficiently. In addition to these filter changes, an oil change and fluid top-off are usually performed to maintain optimal vehicle performance.

60,000 Miles

By 60,000 miles, certain components such as the battery, brakes, brake fluid, and transmission fluid may need more focused attention. Although belts, hoses, and spark plugs usually aren't urgent concerns at this stage, technicians will still inspect these parts to ensure there are no early signs of wear or damage.

90,000 Miles

At around 90,000 miles, spark plugs, hoses, and timing belts should ideally be replaced. This service tends to be more comprehensive, as driving habits and conditions can impact the rate of wear on these and other parts. At this point, it’s common for several components to be worn out or near the end of their service life, requiring replacement to avoid potential breakdowns.

If you have any questions about your 30,000, 60,000, or 90,000-mile maintenance schedule, consult your owner’s manual or contact us directly. We invite you to bring your vehicle to Nics Automotive Repair in George, WA, for professional factory scheduled maintenance..
