How often does your car need service?
The owner's manual is the primary authority for your vehicle because every vehicle is different. But these guidelines generally apply.
- Oil changes. Go 5,000 to 7,500 miles between changes. If you want an oil change in Southwest Louisville, our Dixie Highway locations can help you choose the right oil for your engine.
- Tire rotation and tread. Rotation is usually done between 5,000 and 7,500 miles, which conveniently overlaps with the oil-change range so that it’s recommended that you pair these services together. Uneven wear can be an alignment problem. Tread matters because wet-weather grip drops sharply once tread wears down. You can also check tread by placing a penny upside down in the groove; if you can see Abraham Lincoln’s entire head, then it may be time to replace tires.
- Tire pressure. Check pressure monthly with a quality gauge when the tires are cold. Use the number on the sticker in the driver-side door jamb, not the number printed on the tire sidewall. Proper pressure also helps your gas mileage.
- Brakes. Brakes should be inspected according to your owner's manual. Inspect brakes at every tire rotation (our service departments can easily do this). Change brake fluid about every two or three years. If you hear squealing or feel a soft pedal, come in sooner.
- Battery. A typical car battery lasts three to five years, depending on how you drive and the weather. Extreme temperatures wear batteries down faster. Kentucky has hot summers and cold winters. Check the battery cables at every oil change. A test before winter can help you avoid a dead battery on a cold morning.
Signs your car needs attention
- Warning lights on the dashboard
- Squealing, grinding, or soft brake pedals
- Car pulling to one side
- Uneven tire wear or vibrating steering wheels
- Slow engine starts, especially on cold mornings
Stop-and-go traffic and big temperature swings add wear to all vehicles. Small problems are typically cheaper to fix early on, so a quick inspection can give you peace of mind.
