A simple maintenance schedule that keeps your used car going

Most expensive repairs start as cheap maintenance that got skipped. Here's a schedule that's easy to follow. Your owner's manual always wins if it says otherwise.

Every 3,000–7,500 miles

• 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
• Alignment check, especially after hitting potholes

Every 30,000–60,000 miles

• Coolant service
• Transmission service
• Battery test (do it before extreme heat or cold)

Every year

• Any state-required inspection
• A good wash underneath if your roads are salted in winter
