Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
P-C, take a look at your owner's manual--it'll tell you, and it might be less than you think. And then consider if you really want to do the 30K/60K/whatever at the dealership--you can probably get it cheaper at some other car place (and then if they tell you there's something more wrong, then look into various options)
And yes, you do need to rotate your tires. That way they'll last longer.
I think I might get the oil change/tire rotation thing done next week since I'm overdue for the oil change anyway and then look into the 30K for the future. The manual says I should have gotten a 22.5K, but, hm, it may actually be a few months before I hit 30K, so maybe I should get the 22.5K next month? Thing is, all those things include an oil change, so it's silly to do it right after an oil change. Hm.
I do major maintenance as recommended by my dealer/owners manual, every 15K miles.
Inspired by this conversation, I think Tom and I will go see Sherlock Holmes on Christmas as well!
Yep. I change my oil every 5k and get recommended maintenance done every 15k, and I've had very minimal car issues over the years as a result.
For those without an owner's manual handy, the recommended intervals for oil change (and the routine maintenance that goes with it) can be found by plugging in your car's year/make/model info at CalRecycle's Check Your Number page: [link]
I'd crack out the manual or consult a professional for the more serious stuff though.
I have to post this [link] because it made me laugh SO HARD.
QQ: employee performance evaluation given at a restaurant, and in the same town as the place of employment. Unprofessional?
Unprofessional?
Highly.
Too bad that oil change calculator doesn't have cars before 2000.
