Having your vehicle properly maintained is extremely important to the performance and reliability of your vehicle. Moreover, a well maintained vehicle will bring more dollars at resale or trade in.

Always refer to your owner's manual for the recommended servicing for your particular vehicle model and year, since service intervals can vary. These are some general guidelines to follow. Before the 15,000 mile servicing, you should be changing your oil and filter every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. Previously, the recommended interval was 3,000 miles, but synthetic oils now have a longer lifespan.
