Car Maintenance Schedule at Eli's Service Station

Oil Changes

Changing your engine oil is crucial for maintaining your vehicle's performance and longevity. We recommend an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and the type of oil used. Regular oil changes help prevent engine wear and reduce the buildup of harmful deposits.

Filter Replacement

Filters are vital in protecting your engine from contaminants and ensuring optimal performance. Replace your engine air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles and the cabin air filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles. A clogged filter can lead to decreased fuel efficiency and engine performance issues.

Tire Rotation

To maintain even tire wear and prolong the life of your tires, rotate them every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Regular tire rotations ensure balanced handling and help maximize traction, especially in adverse weather conditions.

Brake Service

Brakes are essential for your safety and should be inspected regularly. Based on your driving habits, we recommend a brake inspection every 10,000 miles or as needed. Bring your vehicle to Eli's Service Station immediately if you notice any braking trouble, such as squeaking, grinding, or a spongy pedal.

Battery Testing and Replacement

A healthy battery is crucial for starting your vehicle and powering its electrical components. Test your battery every six months and replace it every three to five years or as needed. Cold weather can be tough on batteries, so checking your battery before winter arrives is essential.

Seasonal Considerations

In addition to these basic maintenance tasks, there are seasonal factors to consider. For example, your cooling system should be inspected and serviced before summer to ensure your vehicle stays cool during hot weather. Check your wiper blades and fluid levels in the fall to prepare for wetter conditions.
