Top 4 Car Maintenance FAQs 

How often do I need to change the oil in my vehicle?



There are many variables that determine how often an oil change is needed (climate, drive time, highway or city street driving, etc.) You should refer to the Scheduled Maintenance section in your vehicle’s owner’s manual.




Should I consider using synthetic motor oil in my vehicle?



Synthetic motor oils can be a good choice for high output, turbocharged or supercharged engines. Or for vehicles that are used for towing (especially during hot weather), and vehicles that operate in extremely cold or hot climates. Although more expensive than mineral-based oils, synthetic motor oils can improve fuel economy and provide longer intervals between changes.




How often should I rotate my tires?



Your tires should be rotated every other oil change. Neglecting to rotate tires is a major cause of premature tire wear.




Is it really necessary to replace my timing belt at the recommended interval?



YES. The failure of a timing belt in many cars can result in major engine damage. The cost of repairing an engine with a broken timing belt is much greater than the cost of a timing belt replacement.
