Keeping your fluids and filters fresh keeps your engine happy and your warranty solid.

**Oil & Oil Filters**
Oil change intervals vary: conventional oil typically every 3,000-5,000 miles, synthetic every 7,500-10,000 miles or longer depending on your vehicle. Check your owner's manual for the exact schedule and fluid type your car needs. Using the right grade matters for engine protection and fuel economy.

**Other Key Fluids**
Coolant prevents overheating and corrosion; transmission fluid keeps gears shifting smoothly; brake fluid ensures stopping power; power-steering fluid aids handling. Each has its own service interval.

**Filters Beyond Oil**
Air filters (typically 15,000-30,000 miles), cabin air filters (every 12,000-15,000 miles), and fuel filters all need replacement to keep your engine and cabin fresh.
