Proper tire pressure depends on your vehicle’s size, weight, tire type, load, and driving conditions. The manufacturer provides a tire inflation guide, usually located inside the glove box, fuel-filler door, or driver’s side doorpost. Your owner’s manual also lists the recommended pressures, which should be checked regularly for safe and efficient driving.

Wiper blades generally need replacement at least once a year or whenever they begin streaking. Vehicles parked outdoors or used heavily may require blade replacement two to three times a year to ensure clear visibility in all weather conditions.

Regular oil and filter changes are essential for engine longevity. Most new vehicles recommend oil changes every 7,500 miles, though some allow 11,000–15,000 miles under normal driving. Short trips, stop-and-go traffic, dirt roads, or harsh weather accelerate oil degradation, so under these conditions, changing oil every three months or 3,000 miles is advised. Always follow your owner’s manual or consult a service professional.

Coolant cannot be judged by appearance alone. Over time, it breaks down, becomes acidic, and collects contaminants, which can cause corrosion in the radiator and engine. Mechanics test the coolant with special pH strips and safely replace it. Because coolant is toxic and environmentally hazardous, it must be handled and disposed of properly.

Hot air from your air conditioning can indicate a refrigerant leak, a clogged condenser, or a stuck blend door. The system requires professional service. Until it can be fixed, turn off the A/C and use the vent setting or open the windows to keep the interior comfortable.

If your vehicle overheats while driving, pull over safely, turn off the A/C, and turn on the heater to help cool the engine. Let the engine cool for at least 20 minutes before checking for obvious problems. Never open a hot radiator cap. If no major damage is visible, you can add a coolant/water mixture and drive slowly to a service center.

Older cars required tune-ups every 15,000–20,000 miles, involving spark plug, distributor, and timing adjustments. Modern vehicles use electronic ignition and fuel injection, so maintenance focuses on inspections, diagnostics, and replacing components like spark plugs and sensors. Depending on driving conditions, tune-ups are typically needed every 30,000–100,000 miles. Always check your owner’s manual or consult a professional.

If you hear a grinding or squealing sound when the pedal is applied, you probably need new brake shoes or pads. Brakes shouldn't make any noise as they operate. Even if the actual problem turns out to be something minor, the only safe assumption is this one: noisy brakes are unsafe brakes. Postponing service is unsafe and could raise the cost of repairs later. If your brakes are making noise, get them inspected or serviced right away.

Most car care experts advise having the automatic transmission fluid and filter changed every two years or 24,000 miles, to keep it in good working order. This is especially important if the vehicle is more than five years old. Many vehicles newer than five years old may need scheduled service less often, and some new vehicles have transmissions that need no scheduled service for the life of the car. By-the-book service, however, may not be adequate if your vehicle is driven hard, tows a trailer, goes off-road, or carries a camper. Under these conditions, the fluid and filter may need to be changed more often—every 12 months or 12,000 miles—because dirt and moisture buildup in the fluid can cause internal damage. Heat buildup can also be a problem. The harder the transmission works, the hotter the fluid gets, and the quicker the fluid breaks down. To find out the recommended service schedule for your vehicle's transmission, check the owner's manual or talk with your local automotive service provider. Manual transmissions generally need no regularly scheduled service, but may need service due to worn clutch and throw-out bearings and broken synchromesh gears. Check your owner's manual for specific information on manual transmission service or talk with your local automotive service provider.
